Saturn's sign in 2040
Saturn remains in Virgo throughout 2040. No ingress means the planet continues in the sign it occupied at the start of the year; it does not mean there is no transit.

How to read Saturn transits
Saturn is slow: about 2.5 years in each sign and roughly 29.5 years for a full cycle. Retrograde phases each year can dip it briefly into the previous sign.
Saturn represents discipline, karma, delay, service and long-term results. Its sign decides who is under Sade Sati and Dhaiya at any time.
Count the signs from your Moon sign: Saturn in the 12th, 1st or 2nd sign from it is Sade Sati; in the 4th or 8th it is Dhaiya. Use the Sade Sati calculator for your exact dates.
These Saturn gochar dates for 2040 use Lahiri ayanamsa and true lunar nodes. For dasha–transit interpretation relative to a birth chart, book a personal reading.
Planet Transit FAQ
How Vedic gochar timings are calculated and how to read this table.
What is planetary transit (gochar) in Vedic astrology?
Gochar is the current movement of the Navagraha through the sidereal zodiac. When a planet crosses into a new rashi, that exact local datetime is the transit (ingress) timing used for timing analysis.
Which ayanamsa do you use?
All positions use the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the same system as our daily Panchang — so Sun and Moon signs stay consistent across tools.
Does my city change planet positions?
Geocentric sidereal longitudes are the same worldwide at a given UTC instant. Your city only converts that instant into local clock time (with DST when applicable).
Are Rahu and Ketu mean or true nodes?
We use true lunar nodes for Rahu and Ketu. Ketu is always opposite Rahu (180° apart).
How accurate are these timings?
Ingress times are computed with modern astronomical models and refined to about one second. Outer planets usually agree with major panchangs within minutes; Moon and nodes can differ slightly between softwares. Use them for planning; verify ritual-critical muhurta separately if needed.
