Saturn transit 2020 imp question

[Nora]

Dear experts

As per the drik panchang Saturn transits on Jan 24, 2020. And as per vakya panchang it transits on Dec 27, 2020. Which one is accurate? Vakya Panchang is followed by almost all temples in South India.

Kind regards

From Dec 27,2019 , it is said Saturn will go combust. But many say it is not treated thus because Saturn is son of Sun himself.

As for Saturn transit to Capricorn, many have put it up as Jan 24,2020 and some Jan 31,2020.....I think 24th is correct....whatever...to be on safer side we will take Feb 1,2020 , when Saturn will surely be in Capricorn.

During Dec 2019 and Jan 2020, some discussions were going on in various threads about Saturn's transit to Capricorn.....we were all discussing about the exact date of transit whether Dec 2019 or Jan 24 /31,2020. Now here's an interesting article....Saturn yet to transit to Capricorn....that too in Dec 2020.....

KARAIKAL: The management of Lord Dharbaranyeswar temple in Thirunallar, which is famous for its shrine for Shani, has clarified that Sani Peyarchi (transition of Saturn) does not take place on Friday,Jan 24 2020, and that there would be no special prayers.

Officials came out with the clarification following reports in a section of media and social media that Sani Peyarchi would happen on January 24. They explained that the temple followed the Vaakiyam calendar as per which Sani Peyarchi was eleven months away.

Executive Officer of the temple S Subash, said, “We came to know of reports that Sani Peyarchi would be celebrated on January 24. That Sani Peyarchi is as per Thirukanitham calendar. We follow the Vaakiyam calendar as per which Sani Peyarchi will be observed on December 27.”

Sani Peyarchi is one of the important festivals observed by the temple. Lakhs of devotees from across the country throng to temple on that day to offer prayers at the shrine of Lord Shani.

“There will be no special prayers or programs on Friday. We would like to clarify this to all devotees who are mistaken by news on media and social media. There would only be routine prayers,” Subash added.

The transition of Saturn between two zodiac signs is called Sani Peyarchi. The last Peyarchi was on December 19, 2017, when Lord Shani moved from Scorpio to Sagittarius.

The next transition will be from Sagittarius to Capricorn.
