Retrograde Saturn has re- entered Purva Bhadrapad constellation and will remain here till 20th January 2026.
Purva Bhadrapada, spanning from 20° Aquarius to 3°20′ Pisces, is ruled by Jupiter and symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. This nakshatra embodies the paradox of destruction and transformation, representing the bridge between material dissolution and spiritual awakening. Its presiding deity, Aja Ekapada (the one-footed serpent), signifies the divine spark that emerges from chaos and the wisdom that comes through suffering.
The nakshatra’s dual nature—beginning in the fixed air sign of Aquarius and culminating in the mutable water sign of Pisces—creates a unique energetic signature that combines revolutionary idealism with compassionate surrender. This cosmic positioning is particularly significant as Saturn, the planet of structure and limitation, navigates these transformative waters.
Purva Bhadrapada is known for bringing hidden truths to light. During this transit, collective shadows—including systemic corruption, environmental destruction, and social inequality—will be exposed with uncomfortable clarity. This exposure, while initially destabilizing, provides the opportunity for genuine healing and transformation.Expect Scams/scandals/corruption being exposed.
Political systems worldwide are experiencing intense scrutiny and upheaval. The nakshatra’s energy challenges authoritarian structures while simultaneously demanding greater spiritual wisdom in leadership.The transit occur’s in India’s 11th house signifying allies, international relations, treasury and also the Rajya Sabha.Economic rebalancing is on the cards.A stock market crash cannot be discounted.
The traditional monetary systems are facing unprecedented challenges. The rise of digital currencies, the questioning of centralized banking, and the growing wealth disparity all reflect Saturn’s transformative work in Purva Bhadrapada.This transit could lead a huge price upswing for crypto currencies.
This transit will give some rude systematic shocks to the governments worldwide where one can see a few Nepal like uprisings.This exposure, while initially destabilizing, provides the opportunity for genuine healing and transformation. Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra is also associated with storms and fire.Expect cyclonic storms affecting the USA ( Pisces falls in the 4th house of the USA). This transit will prove extremely uncomfortable to countries like the US and Pakistan.
As traditional structures crumble, humanity faces a crisis of faith. The challenge lies in maintaining hope and vision while navigating uncertainty. This period tests our ability to trust in higher wisdom and work collectively toward a more enlightened future.
