Overall Guidance
Saturn's 2026 transit rewards consistent, disciplined effort above all. Because the year includes a sign change, the tone moves from closure and karmic clean-up into a more direct test of action, identity, and long-term responsibility. The structures you build now, with honesty and integrity, will last far beyond the calendar year. Avoid shortcuts, ethical compromise, or reactive decision-making.
Methodology
Transit phases are calculated from Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri sidereal settings. These yearly summaries show sign-phase timing first; exact personal outcomes still depend on the natal chart, dasha, and exact birth data.
