The Planet of Justice, Discipline, and Hard Work - SATURN - is About to Shift Gears.
Saturn will start its transit in retrograde motion in Pisces Sign (ruled by Jupiter) from July 13th, 2025, to November 28th, 2025 - a period of 138 days
Understanding Saturn
Saturn is the planet of karma, the judge, the disciplinarian. It’s the planet that governs hard work, responsibility, discipline, and justice. It doesn’t just give rewards—it gives what’s deserved, based on your actions. Saturn is slow, steady, and deeply karmic. And now, it's about to go retrograde.
Saturn and Jupiter go retrograde every year. But this year, Saturn’s retrograde phase is unusually intense and challenging. And here’s why...
The Role of Mars and Ketu
During this retrograde period, there’s a powerful and tense planetary configuration taking shape. Mars and Ketu are already in conjunction in Leo sign. Mars will cast its 8th aspect on Saturn, which is transiting through Pisces. This aspect will last until July 28th and is considered highly volatile.
Explosive energy, aggression, uncontrolled force—a combination that often leads to destruction, accidents, and conflict. And we’ve already started witnessing these patterns worldwide—tensions rising in regions like Iran and Israel, air disasters, and sudden political instability. The planetary energy is already active.
Mars vs. Saturn: Samsaptak Yoga
After July 28th, Mars moves into Virgo, creating a Samsaptak Yoga—a direct opposition—with retrograde Saturn in Pisces. This Mars-Saturn opposition will continue until mid-September, and it’s going to keep the pressure high—on individuals, on governments, on the global economy.
Mars brings drive, aggression, and urgency. Saturn, like a heavy iron wheel, demands patience, structure, and endurance. When these two clash, it’s like forcing a wheel to spin faster than it’s meant to. Friction rises. Results stall.
Although Saturn and Mars are not outright enemies, their relationship is far from harmonious. Mars does not consider Saturn a friend, and the current planetary dynamics reflect that tension. Whether it's Mars in Leo casting its intense eighth aspect on Saturn, or after July 28th when Mars moves into Virgo and forms a direct seventh aspect on retrograde Saturn in Pisces, this ongoing clash between them is not a favorable sign—especially for global affairs.
Expect global instability—in the stock market, in political affairs, and in day-to-day life.
There will be sudden setbacks, losses, and economic slowdown. Even though people will work hard, results may feel delayed or disappointing.
Jupiter vs. Saturn
Saturn will continue its retrograde journey through Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra—its own star—until early October. After October 3rd, it will begin transiting Purvabhadrapada (ruled by Jupiter). The retrograde phase in Pisces is particularly challenging as Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, which may complicate Saturn’s discipline-driven energy even further. The contradiction here creates tension: the urge to grow vs. the need to restructure.
What Does Retrograde Mean?
When Saturn goes retrograde, it moves closer to Earth and farther from the Sun, making its influence stronger on us. If Saturn is retrograde in your birth chart, this period could bring breakthroughs and positive developments. But if Saturn is direct in your chart, this phase will demand more effort, more patience, and bring more challenges. Regardless of your chart, hard work is non-negotiable during this phase.
