Salman Khan is one of India’s biggest film stars, with a career spanning over 35 years. His journey can be divided into four key phases. The first began in December 1989 when ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ turned him into an overnight sensation. The second phase started in August 1994 with ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, an all-time blockbuster that revived his career after a brief lull. The third pivotal phase was marked by the release of ‘Dabangg’ in 2010, which cemented his status as a Bollywood icon with a massive following.
Salman Khan‘s astrological chart suggests that he often encounters individuals who do not have his best interests at heart. Apparently, it is to counter this negative energy that he wears a turquoise bracelet. Turquoise is known for its protective properties, warding off harmful influences.
With an Aquarius ascendant, Salman Khan exhibits a unique and unconventional approach to life. Saturn’s presence on his ascendant gives him a commanding personality, good looks, and a serious demeanour. Saturn, often regarded as a strict disciplinarian, has presented him with numerous challenges, testing his resilience. However, it has also brought him enduring fame, wealth, and stature.
Salman has a natural ability to manage his finances and investments. Over the years he is known to have made large investments in real estate which have paid off. This energy will continue to benefit him in the years ahead.
Saturn plays a pivotal role in Salman Khan’s life. At the time of the release of ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’, he was in his Jupiter Dasha and Saturn Bhukti, a period during which he delivered three hits: ‘Baaghi’, ‘Sanam Bewafa’, and ‘Saajan’. This phase ended in April 1992, followed by his Mercury Bhukti, during which he had six consecutive flops. However, his fortunes changed with the onset of his Ketu Bhukti, leading to the phenomenal success of ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’.
Salman Khan’s Saturn Dasha began in August 2003, coinciding with the release of ‘Tere Naam‘, acritical and commercial success that elevated his stature. This period marked the beginning of ‘Salman Khan 2.0’ – the rise of the Bollywood icon. In the Saturn Dasha too, his Mercury Bhukti from August 2006 to April 2009 was challenging, with ‘Partner’ being the only significant hit among a string of failures. During this time, a section of the media wrote him off. However, the Venus Bhukti that followed saw the release of ‘Dabangg‘ in 2010, a film that exceeded all expectations and transformed Salman Khan into an action-romance superstar. Since then, films like ‘Kick'(2014), ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan‘ (2015), and the Tiger franchise have strengthened his position at the top of the Bollywood hierarchy.

Since August 2022, Salman Khan has been in his Mercury Dasha. While he remains a major box office draw and continues to host ‘Bigg Boss’, his box office performance has been inconsistent. This trend is expected to shift when the Mercury Bhukti ends on January 2, 2025, making way for the Ketu Bhukti.
This current period is also significant as Salman Khan is currently undergoing his Saturn return, much like fellow superstars Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who were also born in 1965 when Saturn was in Aquarius. Saturn’s return, occurring approximately every 30 years, is a time of reflection, transformation, and growth. For Salman Khan, this Saturn return will complete in November 2024, following its retrograde motion. The months of November and December 2024 will be particularly important, bringing new creative partnerships and financial gains, though some expenses are likely.
Salman Khan’s next release, ‘Sikander’, is slated for March 28, 2025. The period from mid-March to April 2025 will be highly favorable, with Sikander poised for major box office success. In these months, new creative ventures will emerge, and significant financial opportunities will come his way. This period will set the tone for the rest of 2025, as Salman Khan reinvents himself and embarks on a new phase of growth and success.
