Dussehra 2025 arrives with Saturn retrograde in Pisces entering Purva Bhadrapada pada, making it a powerful period for karmic reckoning and inner transformation. Shani Trayodashi adds deeper meaning, urging emotional maturity and spiritual awakening. Zodiac signs Pisces, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Aries feel this planetary alignment strongly. With celestial energy encouraging self-reflection and resilience building, this Dussehra invites growth and renewal, making it a time to align life paths with higher purpose.
Saturn is moving backward through Pisces right now. This happens once every year and lasts about four and a half months. But this Dussehra on October 2 makes it special. The planet enters Purva Bhadravada nakshatra while also aligning with Shani Trayodashi.
What does this mean for you? Saturn acts like a strict teacher. When it goes retrograde it asks you to review your choices from the past six months. Did you skip important tasks? Ignore your health? Avoid difficult conversations? This period brings those issues back.
Four Signs Feel It Most
Ancient texts suggest simple remedies during Saturn transits. Light a mustard oil lamp on Saturdays. Donate black lentils or sesame seeds to those who need food. Feed crows with rice mixed in ghee because they are Saturn's messengers.
Wear blue or black clothes on Saturdays. You should also Chant "Om Sham Shanicharaya Namaha" 108 times in the morning. Keep a small piece of iron in your pocket. These aren't superstitions but tools for focus and setting clear intentions.
The Real Work Happens Inside
Saturn cares about structure, discipline and truth. During retrograde external progress slows down so internal work can speed up. Keep a journal and write down patterns you notice in your behavior. Where do you repeat the same mistakes? Which relationships drain your energy?
This Dussehra celebrates Rama's victory over Ravana. In astrological terms it's your higher self defeating your ego. Saturn retrograde gives you the perfect setting for this battle. Start your mornings with 10 minutes of silence.

- Pisces natives will feel Saturn's weight in their first house. This means your looks, health and self-image need attention. Stop avoiding the mirror. Face what needs fixing.
- Capricorn and Aquarius have Saturn as their ruling planet. For you this retrograde feels like coming home after a long trip. Old friends may reconnect. Past projects need completion.
- Aries faces Saturn in its 12th house of endings and isolation. You might feel tired or want to withdraw from social events. Use this time to rest and plan ahead.
