Shani (Saturn) peyarchi 2026

Shani (Saturn) · into Mesha (Aries)

All through 2026 the answer is the same: Shani (Saturn) is in Meena (Pisces). Read from the sky (Thirukanitha), it has been there since 29 March 2025. It moves into Mesha (Aries) on 3 June 2027, turns back into Meena (Pisces) on 20 October 2027, and settles in Mesha (Aries) on 23 February 2028. The Vakya almanac that temples and newspapers follow dates the move into Meena (Pisces) at a different time. Both describe the same move.

Shani (Saturn) into Meena (Pisces)

On the calendarIn the sky

342 days apart. On the calendar is the day temples and the wall calendar keep the peyarchi; in the sky is the day Shani (Saturn) actually crossed into the sign. Both are right, each by its own reckoning.

What it means for each rasi

The classical gochara table counts this placement favourable for 3 of the 12 rasis. That is the table, not a judgement of ours — and the other rasis are not being warned about anything, they are simply outside a list that most signs are outside most of the time.

Why a peyarchi is a span, not one date

A peyarchi is rarely one date. A graha crosses the boundary, usually turns back over it while retrograde, and crosses again months later — so the first date is where the move begins. These are the whole spans.

Thirukanitha dates, Lahiri ayanamsa · why a Vakya almanac can differ

These are Thirukanitha dates, computed from the sky itself in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa. The Vakya panchangam that many temples and newspapers follow works from older tables. Its date for the same move can differ by days, and at a retrograde crossing by months, because the two disagree about which pass of the boundary is the move. Some sites publish Western tropical dates, which for Jupiter fall about four months from these and for Saturn over a year. If a date you have seen differs from these, that is almost always why.
