Vat Savitri Fast: Religious Significance

These Signs Must Perform Shani Puja On Vat Savitri Vrat
In April, Saturn transited to its own sign Aquarius after years. Due to this, the impact of Shani Sade Sati started on Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. So, these three signs will suffer from Shani Sade Sati in the future.
Besides this, after the Saturn transit, Shani Dhaiyya started on Cancer and Scorpio natives.
In this situation, it would be appropriate to do Shani Shanti Puja and rituals on the day of Shani Jayanti to avoid all kinds of negative effects of Saturn by the natives of these five zodiac signs.
These Auspicious Yogas Will Also Be Formed On Vat Savitri Vrat
According to the astrologers, besides Shani Jayanti and Somvati Amavasya, Vat Savitri fast will be observed in two other auspicious Yogas. The first among these is Sukarma Yoga, which will begin on 29 May, at 10:53 pm and end the next day on 30 May, at 11:37 pm. Then on 30 May, Dhriti Yoga will begin, which will remain till the late night of 1 June.
In Vedic astrology, both these Yogas are considered very auspicious because where every kind of auspicious work done in Sukarma Yoga is successful, all the work done during Dhriti Yoga proves to be very beneficial.
