Not sure of your Moon sign?
Sade Sati is counted from the Moon sign (rashi), not the Sun sign. Find yours in seconds with the free birth chart.
Dates are from Saturn's sidereal (Lahiri) transits and match established panchangs to the day. The readings are traditional tendencies, not predictions; your full chart and running dasha matter as much as Saturn's transit.
FAQ
Sade Sati FAQs
What is Sade Sati?
Saturn stays about two and a half years in each sign, so crossing the sign before your Moon sign, the Moon sign itself and the one after takes about seven and a half years (sade sati). It is read in three phases and comes roughly once every 30 years.
Is Sade Sati counted from the Moon sign or the ascendant?
Traditionally from the Moon sign (rashi). If you do not know yours, find it with the free birth chart.
Is Sade Sati always bad?
No. It is a period of work, responsibility and patience, and many people achieve a great deal during it. How it feels also depends on the sign Saturn is passing through, Saturn's strength in your own chart and the dasha you are running.
What is Shani Dhaiya?
Dhaiya is Saturn's two and a half years in the 4th (Kantaka Shani) or 8th (Ashtama Shani) sign from the Moon. Like Sade Sati, it is treated as a time for care and patience.
