Saturn Moves to Revati

Introduction

Saturn is about to move into Revati Nakshatra. Saturn is the slowest moving planet and stays the longest in any one place, whether it is Nakshatra or Rashi. When Saturn moves, it is time to sit up and take notice. Why? Because, according to astrology, he is highly disciplined and systematic in what he does.

Why does it matter to us?

Every planet has a positive or negative effect on each living being. When the planet moves from one place to another, the effects on each individual change. Saturn's transit to Revati is create various major changes for individuals and societies. Moreover, Saturn represents discipline and precision. He also expects us to have these characteristics and has a unique way of teaching us these qualities. Knowing when these changes occur and whom they are likely to affect helps us remain prepared for them, and to act in a way that allows us to learn our lessons quickly - working with Saturn instead of against him.

Dates

There are two views on this - the general view is that he will move into Revati in May 2026. However, some scholars are of the view that he enters Revati sometime between 17th and 25th of February, 2026. We follow the view of these scholars. It should be noted that he had entered Revati in mid-2025 as well (16-Jun-2025 to 6-Aug-2025) but then, during his retrograde, he moved back into Uttara Bhadrapada (the previous nakshatra).

Both views concur on the exit date being May 2027. At this time, he will enter Ashwini nakshatra and Aries (where Saturn is debilitated). There will be another phase of retrograde and prograde after that into Revati during: 5-Nov-2027 - 10-Feb-2028.

Effects of Saturn in Revati

As per scholars, effects of Saturn in Revati can be considered at two levels. At the societal level, there are likely to be some issues. At the individual level, it depends on the Nakshatra of the individual.

Let us look at some of the societal problems that are likely to occur:

• Problems for agriculture, and plant growth and cultivation in general
• Problems for servants of kings
• Autumn harvest being reduced (primary harvest in most of India)
• Issues in nourishment

At the individual level, persons having their janmanakshatra as Revati, Aslesa, or Jyestha, are likely to face problems.
