The 2026 Sani Peyarchi marks the transit of Saturn from Aquarius to Pisces according to the Vakkiya Panchangam
. This transit significantly impacts all zodiac signs, particularly those entering or continuing Shani Dosha phases like Ezharai Sani and Ashtama Sani. Thirunallar Dharbaranyeswarar Temple remains the primary destination for Vedic remedies. This guide details the 2026 transit effects, essential temple rituals like the Nala Theertham holy dip, and customized remedial packages offered by Rengha Holidays.
The Significance of 2026 Vakkiyapadi Sani Peyarchi
In Vedic astrology, Saturn (Sani Bhagavan) is the planet of justice and karma. Every 2.5 years, its movement from one zodiac sign to another creates a major shift in life energies. In 2026, the Vakkiyapadi Sani Peyarchi will see Saturn move into Pisces (Meena Rasi).
While this transit brings growth for some, it necessitates “Pariharam” (remedies) for others to mitigate challenges in health, finance, and mental peace. The Thirunallar Saneeswaran Temple in Karaikal is the most powerful “Parihara Sthalam” in the world to seek protection during this period.
