How To Read Sade Sati In 2025
Just like any planetary transit of year 2025 you need to treat Sade Sati 2025 in the same way.
Which means to apply all basic to advance rules on it.
But Sade Sati deals with planet Moon & Saturn, so you need to pay special attention to planet Moon.
You can also read your horoscope from "chandra kundli" because Moon denotes your mind and special emphasis should be on it and same time condition of planet Saturn should be checked in natal Horoscope.
Which means, apart from the basic rules following rules should be applied to it.
These rules should be applied very carefully and as mentioned before Sade Sati is also a transit, so standard rules will be applicable on it also.
Now there are few other things which are specific for Sade Sati.
- Sade Sati won’t prove bad if you are in dasha or antardasha of a beneficial planet.
- In Bhinashtakvarga of Saturn in Capricorn sign, there are more than 3 bindus.
- In Sarvashtakvarga, there are more than 30 bindus in 12th, 1st and 2nd from planet Moon.
- Sade Sati won’t be severely bad if Saturn is going through Capricorn or Aquarius sign. These two signs are owned by Saturn only, also, Saturn doesn’t affect much when present in Sagittarius or Pisces sign.
- Along with this always check where Jupiter is going in its transit during Sade Sati Jupiter tends to cross 7 signs, so not much chances that all 7 signs transit will be good. But few years will be there where Jupiter will protect you from bad effects of Sade Sati.
- If ascendant in the natal chart is Taurus, Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius then Sade Sati tend to not harm much.
Above rules can be bended because each horoscope contains different Dynamics, people with strong rajyoga usually don’t get affected by this because they are bound to reach at good heights.

Sade Sati In 2025
We all know planet Saturn is in sign of Aquarius since January 24, 2023. With this new Saturn transit, the Sade Sati started for Pisces Moon Sign.
Aquarius Moon Sign entered their 2nd phase of Sade Sati, which is also known as the Peak phase of Sade Sati.
Whereas for Sagittarius Moon Sign Sade Sati came to an end.
On the other hand, Capricorn Moon Sign natives entered the 3rd and last phase of Sade Sati, which is also known as the setting phase of Sade Sati.
In 2025, on 29th March, with the transit of Saturn in Pisces, new changes will be happening.
Sade Sati for Capricorn moon sign will end, where as Aries moon sign the first phase (rising phase) will start. The Aquarius moon sign will enter the 3rd phase (setting phase), while the Pisces moon sign will start the second phase, which is also known as the peak phase of Sade Sati.
Sade Sati is generally considered a period of misery and hardship, but I can assure you that it is never that bad and a lot depends on your own horoscope and other planetary transits.
Remember we are all unique and no two horoscopes are the same, which means a lot depends on the planet Saturn's position, i.e., its lordship, and where it is sitting.
For your knowledge, there are approximately 150 million people under sade sati at any given point of time and not all are suffering due to it.
There are examples of many powerful people who excelled in their Sade Sati period; for example, Late J.Nehru became our first prime minister in his Sade Sati only.
The following interpretation on Sade Sati effects in 2025 is general in nature, and depending on many factors, the final results will be different than what is mentioned here.
Good News for Capricorn Moon Sign Natives!
Capricorn moon sign natives should mark their calendars—on 29th March 2025, the long and challenging phase of Sade Sati will finally come to an end as Saturn transits into Pisces.
The Journey So Far: Sade Sati for Capricorn Moon Sign began in 2017 when Saturn moved into Sagittarius. The 3rd phase officially started with Saturn’s transit into Aquarius on 18 January 2022.
Now, as the curtain closes on this significant phase, the final months demand focus, resilience, and a positive attitude. Saturn’s lessons, though challenging, have likely prepared you for a brighter and more stable future.
Now the last three months of their Sade Sati may need attention in some areas because the combustion of Saturn from 28th February to 5th of April 2025 will test their limits.
Ending Sade Sati in the combustion state of Saturn is not exactly what you may want to experience.
Remember, every ending is also a new beginning.
The conclusion of Sade Sati in March 2025 marks the start of a transformative chapter for Capricorn natives!

- Health concerns and disturbed sleep patterns.
- Unnecessary expenses.
- Physical distance from your spouse.
- Struggles in career progress and personal relationships.
- Increased anxiety and stress, often from unknown sources.
Mental health challenges could also arise, as the weight of responsibilities and delays may feel overwhelming.
The Silver Lining: Lessons and Rewards: Despite the difficulties, Sade Sati is known to leave behind valuable gifts, especially as it approaches its conclusion. For Capricorn natives, the positive impact of this phase may include:
- Wealth gains: Sudden financial windfalls or inheritance matters may resolve in your favor.
- Skill development: A chance to enhance your abilities and become more disciplined in pursuing your goals.
- Relationship insights: Greater understanding of what is holding back your personal connections, leading to stronger bonds.

Aries Moon Sign Will Enter Their Sade Sati!!
On 29th March 2025, the transit of Saturn in Pisces will mark the beginning of Sade Sati for Aries Moon sign natives.
They will be entering this phase when Saturn will be combust and the union of Saturn with Rahu will further add to the misery.
Until May 18th, this union will be valid and they will be tested right away in all areas of life.
Natives with psychological fears and burdens will feel a lot of heat in this particular phase.
Suddenly they may have to face a transfer to an unfavorable location, and their mental strength & abilities will be tested to its extreme limits.
Natives of the Aries sign are ruled by Mars, & their reactions are expressive and aggressive in nature.
Chances are high that they may react negatively and can invite more troubles.
Expenditures will arise heavily in 2025, and in the middle of the year they may spurl heavily on house renovation and fulfilling desires and may try to cope by using superficial means.
Emotional eating can also happen, which will affect health, appearance, and quality of life.
Natives with ongoing health issues should become more vigilant because this Sade Sati period can diminish their will power to act on bad habits, and routines will be messed up.
Interest in moving abroad or to a new place can develop this year. Then entry of Jupiter in the 4th house on October 18 can trigger some events that may push you to explore new options and avenues.
Possibility is high; there will be enemies at work, and you may have to find your way through obstacles created by them.
Less intimate moments with the spouse will affect the quality of marriage, and the spouse may act indifferent also.
Mentally, the space and condition to maintain the balance in professional and personal life will not exist.

Setting Phase Of Sade Sati Will Begin For For Aquarius Moon Sign (Kumbh Rashi)
Aquarius is ruled by Saturn itself, which generally minimizes the harsh effects of Sade Sati for its Moon sign natives.
However, the influence of this transit varies significantly depending on the ascendant and ongoing planetary dashas.
Aquarius natives entered Sade Sati with Saturn’s transit into Capricorn on January 24, 2020. With the transit of Saturn into Pisces on March 29, 2025, the third and final phase of Sade Sati will begin.
This phase will last until Saturn exits Pisces on May 31, 2027, marking the end of Sade Sati for Aquarius Moon sign.
The final phase is often seen as a time of resolution and transition, though it may still bring challenges related to Saturn’s significations.
