Shani Dev is known in astrology as the giver of karma and justice. His influence is slow but deeply transformative. At present, Shani Dev is transiting through Pisces, due to which Aries, Aquarius, and Pisces are under the effect of Sade Sati.

In 2026, Saturn will not change its zodiac sign but will turn retrograde in Pisces and later become direct. During this phase, Shani Ki Dhaiya will affect two zodiac signs: Leo and Sagittarius. This period does not mean destruction, but it does demand discipline, patience, and responsibility.

Let’s understand how Shani’s Dhaiya may impact these signs.

Leo (Singh Rashi)

For Leo natives, 2026 may bring mixed results.

• Work responsibilities may increase

• Pressure at the workplace could rise

• Promotions or recognition may get delayed

• Financial matters need careful handling

• Misunderstandings in personal relationships are possible

• Mental stress may increase

Health-wise, minor issues like lack of sleep, headaches, or constant fatigue may trouble you. Staying disciplined and avoiding ego clashes will help reduce Saturn’s pressure.

Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi)

For Sagittarius natives, Shani’s Dhaiya can be life-shaping, though challenging.

• Major changes in work and thinking pattern

• Increased responsibility and demand for discipline

• Career growth is possible through patience and consistency

• Avoid impulsive job changes

• Financial ups and downs likely—spend wisely

In relationships, bitterness or distance may arise if communication is weak. Health concerns related to bones, knees, or lower back may surface, and tiredness can increase under Saturn’s influence.

What Shani’s Dhaiya actually teaches

Astrology believes Shani does not punish without reason. His Dhaiya period:

• Tests patience

• Encourages maturity

• Forces self-discipline

• Pushes one toward long-term stability

Those who work honestly and remain grounded often emerge stronger after this phase.

Simple remedies for Shani Dhaiya

• Maintain honesty and discipline in daily life

• Help the poor, elderly, and labourers

• Avoid unnecessary anger and arrogance

• Chant “Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah” regularly

• Light a sesame oil lamp on Saturdays
