Shani Jayanti on May 16, 2026, arrives just a day before one of the most important Saturn transits of the year. On May 17, Saturn moves into Revati Nakshatra, the final nakshatra of the zodiac. This is not just another planetary shift. It marks a powerful period of closure, reflection, and karmic lessons.
According to astrologer Sidhharrth S Kumaar, Revati is connected with endings, emotional release, spiritual surrender, and preparing for a fresh chapter in life. When Saturn enters this nakshatra, unfinished matters often return to your attention. With Neptune also placed alongside Saturn in Pisces, and Rahu and Ketu positioned strongly in their own nakshatras, this period can feel like a deep karmic reset.
