Sani Peyarchi 2026 is an important astrological event, as Saturn (Sani Bhagavan) continues its transit in Meena Rasi (Pisces) throughout the year. This transit, which began in late 2025, will remain active until the end of 2026, bringing significant influences on all zodiac signs (Rasis).
Astrologers note that while there is no major Rasi change during most of 2026, the year will still witness powerful effects due to Saturn’s movements such as Vakram (retrograde), Asthamanam (setting), and Udayam (rising) within Pisces.
Saturn’s Position in 2026
In 2026, Saturn remains in Meena Rasi for the entire year, completing its traditional 2.5-year stay in this sign. The next major Saturn transit is expected only towards the end of 2026, when it prepares to move into the next zodiac sign.
During this period:
-Saturn will go retrograde (Vakram), intensifying karmic lessons
-Saturn will undergo Asthamanam, reducing visible results temporarily
-Saturn’s Udayam will gradually restore strength and momentum
These phases can bring delays, reassessment, discipline, and long-term restructuring in personal and professional life.
