Mumbai: In Vedic astrology, Lord Shani (Saturn) is regarded as the dispenser of justice, rewarding or punishing individuals according to their deeds. His planetary movements, or transits, are considered highly influential in shaping people’s lives, careers, finances and spiritual progress.

As 2025 approaches, Saturn is set to shift its position within the nakshatras (lunar mansions), a celestial event that many astrologers believe will bring significant changes. With the transition happening just before Diwali, this shift is expected to have a strong impact on certain zodiac signs.

Current Placement and Upcoming Transit

At present, Saturn is stationed in the Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra. However, in October, the planet will move into the Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra. This transit, taking place on Friday, 3 October 2025, at 9:49 pm, is regarded as highly important as it occurs right before Diwali. Saturn will remain in Purva Bhadrapada until 20 January 2026.

Effects on Gemini (Mithun)

For Gemini natives, this transit will bring positive outcomes. There are strong chances of financial gains and career progress during this period. Hard work will finally bear fruit, and the blessings of Shani Dev may ensure success in key tasks and endeavours.

Effects on Libra (Tula)

Libra individuals are likely to experience favourable times with this nakshatra shift. Investments made during this period could yield good returns, and opportunities for growth and advancement will be on the horizon. Librans may find themselves moving steadily on the path to prosperity.

Effects on Aquarius (Kumbh)

For Aquarius natives, Saturn’s movement into Purva Bhadrapada will prove beneficial. Financial stability is likely to improve, projects will see completion, and there could be an increase in income. Overall, Aquarians may witness an upliftment in both their personal and professional lives.
