Shani Dev to Turn Retrograde from Sunday, July 13: Mahant Rohit Shastri, Jyotishacharya

Among the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas), the most powerful, Lord Shani (Saturn), will turn retrograde in Pisces on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 9:40 AM, and will resume direct motion on Friday, November 4 at 9:21 AM.

According to Jyotishacharya Mahant Rohit Shastri, President of Shri Kailakh Jyotish avim Vedic Sansthan Trust, the retrograde motion of Shani will last for 138 days.

Shani Dev is considered the deity of justice, rewarding individuals according to their karmas. When retrograde, his influence is deeper and more intense. Saturn is directly associated with karma, discipline, service, employment, business, and social justice, hence his retrograde movement has a significant impact on various aspects of life-particularly career, health, marital relationships, and financial stability.

According to Mahant Rohit Shastri, Sade Sati (7.5-year period of Saturn) is currently affecting:

Aquarius - final phase

Pisces - second phase

Aries - initial phase

Saturn's Dhaiyya (2.5-year period) is ongoing for:

Leo and Sagittarius signs.

Individuals undergoing Saturn Mahadasha or Antardasha in their birth charts should also remain cautious.
