29 Mar-18 May 2025: How the Saturn-Rahu Transit in Pisces Impacts You -

From 29 March to 18 May 2025, an unusual astrological conjunction will take place – Saturn (Shani) and Rahu will both transit the Pisces (Meena) zodiac. This short yet intense period brings a mix of spiritual insights and global and personal transformation. While the alignment may raise concern due to the planetary reputations, it’s important to explore the deeper implications with balance and understanding.

The Planetary Shift: What’s Happening?

On 29 March, Saturn will move from Aquarius to Pisces.
Rahu, already in Pisces, will continue its journey there until 18 May, after which it shifts to Aquarius.
This means that for approximately 1.5 months, both Saturn and Rahu will share space in Pisces, a Jupiter-ruled sign associated with spirituality, dissolution, and liberation.

Global Effects of This Transit

Spiritual Over Material: Pisces represents moksha (liberation), and the combined presence of karmic Saturn and illusionary Rahu here might pull attention away from ego and towards inner transformation.
World Events:
- Potential economic turbulence, especially in powerful nations.
- Policy changes, constitutional amendments, and shifts in political dynamics globally.
- Possible natural disruptions involving water and wind (e.g., storms or cyclones), due to the combination of airy and watery elements.

Though these energies suggest large-scale transformation, Pisces being Jupiter’s domain acts as a balancing force – spiritual strength and higher wisdom can offer grounding.

Dos and Don’ts for This Period

✅ What to Do:

Let go of egoic attachments and adopt humility.
Embrace spiritual practices or inner reflection.
Be open to change – career shifts, international opportunities, or philosophical evolution.
Be mindful of your health, especially chronic or emotional conditions.

❌ What to Avoid:

Avoid sudden decisions, especially around career and finances.
Don’t engage in religious conflicts or spiritual superiority.
Avoid resisting changes that are clearly inevitable – flow is key.
