Shani Gochar or Saturn transit takes place every 2.5 years on each zodiac sign. Since Saturn is a huge planet and far away from earth, according to astrology, it moves very slowly. It impacts all 12 zodiac signs in a span of 30 years, which is why it transits to every new sign after approximately 2.5 years. In 2023, Saturn will transit to Aquarius from Capricorn on January 17, Tuesday. Although it is believed that Shani Gochar makes life difficult for people, it is also believed to be a period when people get the opportunity to recognize their inner strength and therefore, Saturn’s transit plays a crucial role in people’s lives. Many predictions are made for people during this time depending on the placement of the moon and other planets at the time of birth in the horoscope, which can bring positive or negative results for the person.
