Shani Dev (Lord Shani) is worshiped as the deity who judges based on a person’s *karmas* (actions). From July 27, 2026, they are going to start their retrograde motion (reverse movement) – this period is called their “backward movement”. The retrograde motion of Shani Dev can create many challenges, such as delays in ongoing projects, emotional stress and career-related obstacles. This retrograde motion will occur primarily in Aries – a sign that is associated with action, independence, and taking decisions without thinking. Since Lord Shani Dev always prefers patience and order, while Aries thrives on speed and risk taking, this transit of these planets can increase anxiety for many individuals.
For some zodiac signs, the Saturn retrograde transit of 2026 may bring a period of maturity, personal growth, and success. However, individuals of *any* zodiac sign should avoid making hasty decisions and instead proceed with prudence and thoughtfulness. Let us know which zodiac signs should be careful during Saturn’s retrograde transit…

Confusion may arise regarding your identity or your image. Additionally, one may experience a lack of self-confidence. In such situations, it will be very important to be patient.

Apart from this, one should avoid outbursts of anger under the influence of intense emotions and stay away from risky financial decisions.
**Cancer**

Issues related to family responsibilities, career-related stress and boundaries in relationships may emerge as major themes.

Capricorn sign people may find themselves re-evaluating their career goals, family responsibilities and long-term ambitions.
