In astrology, Saturn is seen as the planet of justice, and whenever it transits the fourth or eighth house from a zodiac sign, that sign enters what is known as Shani's dhaiya, a phase that typically lasts around two and a half years. Saturn is currently positioned in Pisces, and this transit has brought Leo and Sagittarius under its dhaiya. This period does not automatically mean setbacks, though, staying consistent with effort and patience can still bring good results.
What Leo natives can expect
The dhaiya for Leo natives began on 29 March 2025. During this phase, responsibilities at work and in business can increase, adding to the overall pressure of daily tasks. Rushing into decisions is best avoided, and any move involving money should be made only after careful thought. Keeping harmony within the family and staying away from unnecessary disputes is also considered important during this period.
What Sagittarius natives should watch out for
Sagittarius natives are going through the same phase as Leo right now. The pressure of hard work may rise, and even small lapses in attention at work could prove costly, so every decision should be weighed carefully. Keeping a close watch on expenses and avoiding unnecessary risks is advised through this period. Those who stay patient and keep moving forward will gradually find circumstances turning in their favour.
When will the dhaiya end
Both Leo and Sagittarius natives will get relief only once Saturn moves out of Pisces and enters Aries. Based on the current planetary position, this shift is expected to happen around June 2027, meaning both signs may still have to deal with the dhaiya's effects for roughly another year and a half.
What exactly is Shani's dhaiya
According to astrology, when Saturn moves into the fourth or eighth house from a person's birth sign, it is referred to as Shani's dhaiya. Its effects last around two and a half years, during which a person may be tested on the fronts of hard work, discipline and patience. However, the actual impact varies from person to person, depending on their individual birth chart.
