In astrology, Saturn is considered the god of justice and the slowest moving planet. Saturn stays in one zodiac sign for about two and a half years. When Saturn enters the fourth or eighth house of any zodiac sign, the period of ‘Shani Dhaiya’ begins, which affects many aspects of life. Currently Saturn is in Pisces and will remain there till 2026. Due to this transit, people of Leo and Sagittarius zodiac signs are under the influence of Shani Dhaiya. This period is considered important for both these zodiac signs.
When does Shani Dhaiya start and end?
Shani Dhaiya started on March 29, 2025 for Leo and Sagittarius people. These amounts will get relief for some time after June 3, 2027. However, the influence of Dhaiya will be there again from October 20, 2027 to February 23, 2028. Only after this period Shani Dhaiya will be considered completely over.
