New Delhi, January 6, 2026: In Vedic astrology, the Sun (Surya) is the King, while Saturn (Shani) is the Judge. As per the planetary calculations for 2026, the year has commenced with a rare and powerful alignment known as the 'Panchank Yoga'. Formed after a gap of nearly 30 years, this conjunction of Sun and Saturn is creating significant ripples in the astrological world.
While Sun and Saturn are father and son, they are traditionally viewed as inimical. However, the January 2026 conjunction is unique because:
The 72-Degree Angle: The planets are positioned at a 72-degree angle from each other, forming a rare auspicious alignment.
Jupiter’s Grace: Currently, Saturn is in its own sign, Pisces, and the Sun is in Sagittarius. Since Jupiter rules both these signs, its divine aspect (Drishti) on this conjunction mitigates negative vibes and turns it into a 'Raj Yoga' of sorts.
Virgo: New financial opportunities will arise. Stalled investments or business deals will move forward. A job promotion or high-ranking role is on the cards.
Sagittarius: With the Sun currently in your sign, this yoga boosts your confidence and social prestige. You may successfully lead a major project.
Aquarius: Ruled by Saturn, this sign will experience a surge in luck. New income sources will open up, and a better balance between work and life will be achieved.
