Sade sati in plain words.
Seven and a half years
Sade sati runs while Saturn crosses three signs. It starts one sign before your Moon sign and continues through the sign after it. Saturn takes about two and a half years in each.
Three phases
The rising phase comes first. The peak is when Saturn is over your Moon, followed by the setting phase. Saturn can move back into an earlier sign, so the dates can split.
It comes about every 30 years
Saturn takes about 30 years to circle the zodiac. Most people have sade sati two or three times in life. It can mean more responsibility, at work or at home, and pressure to keep up.
Common questions
How do I calculate my sade sati?
Sade sati is calculated from your Moon sign, not your sun sign. It begins when Saturn enters the sign before your Moon sign and ends when it leaves the sign after it.
Is sade sati always bad?
Sade sati is not always bad. Work may take longer and responsibilities may grow. Many people come through it with stronger careers and steadier lives. Your full chart matters here.
Can I check sade sati without a birth time?
You can check sade sati without a birth time in most cases, because it depends on your Moon sign. If the Moon changed sign on your birthday, ask at home for the time.
What is the difference between sade sati and dhaiya?
Sade sati is Saturn's seven and a half year passage over your Moon sign. Dhaiya is a separate two and a half year period, when Saturn is in the 4th or 8th sign from your Moon.
