Saturn, planet of karma and boundaries, is in Pada (part) Two of the benevolent and spiritual nakshatra Uttara Bhadrapada within Pisces from February 21st to March 21st, 2026.

This is a repeat of Saturn’s retrograde transit from June to mid-August of 2025, and an experience from that time may resurface now for you to resolve. You have been challenged or had an opportunity that has involved a lot of work or preparation, and with Saturn now in direct motion, you are ready to commit. Uttara’s name translates to ‘beautiful left foot’, and its influence brings you an intelligent and questioning quality, with a focus on fine quality. Saturn gives you a serious and mature attitude to work and ambition, and Pada Two of Uttara relates to Virgo navamsha, the underlying chart of relationship and spirituality.

Uttara’s Shakti, or special power, for Bringing Rain sees you cultivating new ideas, and the underlying Mercurial energy sees you doing deals with great commercial flair. You have an analytical and hardworking attitude, which complements Saturn’s practical nature, where you integrate different sides of your career strategy. From March 1st, Saturn also comes together with its planetary friend Venus, and you may see an attraction to an older, influential person, where you are balancing love and work.

You analyse what you want carefully, and come to a new understanding with your partner based on clear communication – this is a good time to set long-term relationship ground rules. There may also be an intervention of fate, where a romantic encounter carries a karmic lesson, even though you try to avoid it. Saturn and Venus have the potential to create a lasting bond, and this is a time to confront your partnership needs head-on.
