Shani Astha / Shani Modhyami / Saturn Combustion 2025, Bangalore

Shani (the planet Saturn, regent of discipline, endurance, and karmic reckoning) is the slowest of the visible planets, so its combustion is infrequent: typically once a year, near solar conjunction, for a relatively brief span.

Traditional muhurta practice treats Shani Astha with the same broad caution applied to Guru and Shukra Astha for new auspicious undertakings, while daily religious observance and existing commitments continue unaffected.
