Saturn (Shani Graha) is known for its heavy, austere, powerful, and dominating nature. Associated with the ideas of structure, organization, and rigidity, it is the karmic foreman of the zodiac who is here to make sure that we do what we are supposed to do.
Thus, the Saturn Transit (Shani Gochar) acts as a kind of cosmic wake-up call, an astrological wake-up call that occurs in the late twenties, fifties, and early eighties.
It is a time of self-reflection and planning and, above all, a way to check whether or not you are on the right path in life in terms of career, romance, and relationships with friends and family.
If you are not on the right track, Saturn helps you readjust. When it comes to Saturn’s transit, it’s important to level up and give all aspects of life a cosmic makeover. Putting in the work will provide great results, as the Saturn transit rewards those who are evolving their lives and spirit.
