Shani Dev: Even though the calendar will change in a few days, the situation will remain the same for the zodiac signs of Sade Sati and Dhaiya. People have new hopes and expectations of positive change regarding the year 2026. But according to astrology, the new year may prove difficult for many zodiac signs. The reason for this is the ongoing influence of Saturn’s Sadesati and Dhaiya.

Saturn is considered the god of justice, which is also considered a very powerful planet. Saturn also gives results to man according to his deeds. When any zodiac sign comes under the influence of Sadesati or Dhaiya during the transit of Saturn, then struggles, pressure, delays and mental ups and downs are seen in life.

Saturn will not change its zodiac sign in 2026 (Shani Gochar)

According to astrologer Anish Vyas, Shani Dev changes zodiac sign once in two and a half years. In 2025, Saturn entered Jupiter’s zodiac sign Pisces on March 29 and will remain in this zodiac sign till June 2027. In such a situation, there will be no change in the zodiac sign of Saturn in 2026 and the zodiac signs on which Saturn’s Sade Sati or Dhaiya is going on will continue in 2026 also.

This is the reason that in the year 2026 also, these zodiac signs will have to go through the same intense influence of Saturn i.e. Sadesati and Dhaiya, due to which they will need more patience, restraint and spiritual measures. Know which zodiac signs will be affected by Sade Sati and Dhaiya in the year 2026.
