Shani is vakri from 9 August 2027 to 24 December 2027, turning in Mesh (Aries) and moving back into Meen (Pisces). A vakri graha seems to move backwards from the Earth; the texts hold it gains strength (cheshta bala) and that its stay repeats a house it had left. More on vakri

Shani in each house from the Moon
Phaladeepika, chapter 26, on Shani’s transit
| From the Moon | Phaladeepika | What the text says |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Not good | It warns of illness during this transit, and of a death in the family calling for funeral rites — the text's caution for this house, not a forecast. It also counts this house, with the 8th, among those where Shani's transit asks care for life, position and wealth. |
| 2nd | Not good | It warns of trouble touching wealth and children during this transit, as the text's caution for the period, not a forecast for any one person. |
| 3rd | Good | One of the houses Phaladeepika counts good for Shani (Saturn), and one of his most favourable. It promises a new position or employment, support from others, and financial gain during this transit. |
| 4th | Not good | It warns of loss touching the spouse, relatives and wealth during this transit, as the text's caution for this period, not a forecast. |
| 5th | Not good | It warns of declining wealth, loss touching children, and confusion of mind during this transit, as the text's caution for the period. |
| 6th | Good | It says this transit brings happiness all round, with nothing set against it — one of the most favourable readings in this chapter. |
| 7th | Not good | It warns of suffering for one's spouse, unsettled travel, and a mind weighed down by fear during this transit. |
| 8th | Not good | It warns of loss touching children, friends, livestock or other property, and wealth, together with illness, during this transit. It also counts this house, with the 1st, among those where Shani's transit asks for care about life, position and wealth, as its caution, not a forecast. |
| 9th | Not good | It warns of financial loss, obstacles to good or charitable acts, and long sorrow during this transit, and cautions that this period can touch a father-like elder with grief — the text's warning, not a forecast for anyone. |
| 10th | Not good | It warns that this transit can draw the native into a wrongful act, bring loss of honour, and illness, as the text's caution for the period. |
| 11th | Good | It promises happiness of every kind, wealth, and rare, unique honour during this transit. |
| 12th | Not good | It warns of toil in a worthless or fruitless undertaking, loss of money to rivals, and sickness touching one's spouse and children during this transit. |
Vedha (26.5): Phaladeepika gives vedha (obstruction) for Shani's (Saturn's) good houses: his good results in the 3rd, 11th and 6th from the natal Chandra (Moon) hold only if no other graha is then transiting the 12th, 5th and 9th from the Moon respectively. Surya (Sun) transiting those places does not spoil Shani's results, since the text counts Shani as the Sun's son.
Phaladeepika says a graha transiting an unfavourable house does no harm if it is then in its exaltation or own rashi, and gives its full good results if it is also in a favourable house. The same graha transiting a favourable house gives nothing if it is in debilitation, an enemy's rashi or eclipsed; and if the house is also unfavourable, it gives its bad results in a sharper form. (26.31, 26.32)
Phaladeepika gives the part of a sign where each graha's transit bears fruit: Guru (Jupiter) in the middle third (the 2nd decanate), Shani (Saturn) in the last third, and Rahu throughout his passage through the sign. The verse does not name Ketu. (26.25)
