Saturn Retrograde 2026: Dates, Signs and Stations

27 July to 11 December, in Pisces

Saturn stations retrograde on 27 July 2026 at 20°36′ Pisces, in Revati, and stations direct on 11 December 2026 at 13°46′ Pisces, in Uttara Bhadrapada. Between the two stations it travels back 6.8° of the zodiac over 137 days.

20°36′ Pisces, the 27 July station, is in Revati pada 2, the Capricorn navamsa. 13°46′ Pisces, the 11 December station, is in Uttara Bhadrapada pada 4, the Scorpio navamsa. The arc between them spans 3 padas, from Uttara Bhadrapada pada 4 up to Revati pada 2, and Saturn crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 27 July, backward until 11 December, and forward again afterwards. Saturn is in a neutral sign in Pisces.

The whole 6.8° lies inside Pisces, so for the 27 July retrograde of 2026 there is no sign change to date: Saturn in Pisces covers all 137 days.

Inside the window Saturn also backs across a nakshatra boundary: into Uttara Bhadrapada on 9 October 2026.

The 2026–2028 conjunction table records no conjunction involving Saturn between 27 July and 11 December 2026.

One caution on the retrograde station of this window: it falls close to midnight IST, so another ephemeris, or a listing kept in another time zone, can put 27 July 2026 on the neighbouring day without either being wrong.

It begins 379 days after the previous Saturn retrograde began on 13 July 2025, and 241 days after that one ended.
