What Is Sade Sati ?
Sade Sati, as the name suggests, is the period of 7.5 years of Saturn transit around and over your natal Moon.
If you are aware of Hindi terms then “Sade” means Half, and “Sati” means Seven.
It starts when Saturn enters the 12th sign from the natal moon and ends when Saturn leaves the 2nd house from the natal moon.
In each of the signs, it stays for 2.5 years, and each of its phases of 2.5 years is given a name.
1. The first phase when Saturn is over the 12th house from the natal moon is called the rising phase.
2. The second phase when Saturn is over the natal moon is called the peak phase.
3. The third phase, when Saturn is over the 2nd house from the natal moon, is called the setting phase.
For example, if you have an Aries Moon sign then your Sade Sati will start when Saturn will enter the Pisces sign. This will be known as the “Rising Phase” of Sade Sati.
Then similarly, when Saturn will enter the Aries sign itself, then your second phase of Sade Sati will start, which is known as the “Peak Phase”.
Then the last phase, which is known as the “Setting Phase” will start when Saturn will enter the Taurus sign.
With the movement of Saturn in the Gemini Sign, the Sade Sati will come to an end for the Aries Moon sign.
I have mentioned how Sade Sati will start for other signs:
1. For Taurus Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Aries Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Cancer sign.
2. For Gemini Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Taurus Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Leo sign.
3. For Cancer Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Gemini Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Virgo sign.
4. For Leo Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters Cancer Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Libra sign.
5. For Virgo Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters Leo Sign and ends when Saturn enters Scorpio sign.
6. For Libra Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Virgo Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Sagittarius sign.
7. For Scorpio Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Libra Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Capricorn sign.
8. For Sagittarius Moon Sign, Sade Sati will start when Saturn will enter Scorpio Sign and will end when Saturn will enter the Aquarius sign.
9. For Capricorn Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Sagittarius Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Pisces sign.
10. For Aquarius Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters the Capricorn Sign and ends when Saturn enters the Aries sign.
11. For Pisces Moon Sign, Sade Sati starts when Saturn enters Aquarius Sign and ends when Saturn enters Taurus sign.
Note: There is a very interesting theory, that states that Sade Sati starts when planet Saturn is within 45 degrees from planet Moon and it ends when Saturn is 45 degrees away from planet Moon.
If the above statement is true, then the total time of Sade Sati will be reduced.
Rising Phase
This is the first phase of Sade Sati, which starts when Saturn enters the 12th sign from the natal Moon. This is the first phase of Sade Sati, and in this period Saturn starts to put a grip around us. It is often marked by events such as transfers, rise in expenses, sleep issues and loneliness in mind. In this period, natives feel very differently, and their minds become very unfocused and waverly, leading to lots of issues in career & wealth.This period marks the beginning of turbulence and issues and forms the foundation for the transformation that is supposed to come ahead in the peak phase. Usually, this period is not as harmful; it mostly makes the native slow, and a lack of ambition comes during this time. Finances stay moderate, and health only sees some minor impact. However, it can prove very negative if the Moon is in the 9th house of the native because, from the ascendant, Saturn transits into the 8th house to start Sade Sati for them. .
Peak Phase
This phase begins when Saturn transits over the natal moon. It is said to be the most negative period, where hardships increase significantly. The native may lose their job, face financial issues, and suffer in relationships badly. This period also leads to massive health issues and, in some cases, can cause death if longevity is completed. Mentally, this is where anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder can arise. During this time, the native feels helpless, and no remedy seems to help. The only option left is to endure the hardships and emerge as a stronger person. If Saturn Mahadasha or Antardasha is operating during this period, it can significantly increase the sufferings. If the Moon is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, this period proves most negative for the native.
Note: In theory, this is the most negative and hard phase of Sade Sati
Setting Phase
The setting phase begins when Saturn enters the second house from the natal moon. This period is considered less malefic than both the Rising and Peak phases. This is a time for regaining strength and learning from the challenges faced earlier. The transformation is completed during this phase, and it can be very beneficial for natives who have a well-placed moon in their natal horoscope. If it ends with Saturn in the 3rd, 10th, or 11th house, it brings the most beneficial results. The house where this phase ends in the natal chart will see the most improvement. For example, if the Moon is in the 9th house and the setting phase ends in the 10th house, the native sees a massive rise in their career. If Saturn is a functional benefic (i.e., for Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, or Aquarius ascendants), this setting phase can be a game-changer. The house Saturn aspects during this phase also see beneficial results, bringing progress in their significations.
This is the technical definition and description that I gave you above.
The question is, what exactly happens in Sade Sati, and what is the purpose of it?
We all know Saturn is the most major planet in whole vedic astrology and the slowest among all 9 planets when it comes to its movement through a sign.
Saturn is keeper of karmic order and its job is to deliver the results of the placements we are born with.Whatever rajyoga you have in your natal horoscope will only deliver its results when you have at least experienced one cycle of Sade Sati in your life.
In the Sade Sati period, Saturn gains the most influence over us, and it puts us in a process where we are held accountable for our karmas, and at the same time, it gives us total awareness of what is happening in our lives.
That is why when you enter the Sade Sati period, you are mentally more sensitive and you feel every emotion with more depth. You become more prone to arguments, losses, and you start to attract negative events more than ever.
It is widely acknowledged in psychology that growth often comes through pain or adversity and only Sade Sati brings such pain which fuels our growth.
In India, we have a belief that during the rising phase, Sade Sati is on your upper part of the body, and then in the peak phase, it is over the middle part of the body. Whereas in the setting phase it is over the lower part of your body.
Similarly, one more belief is that, before Sade Sati ends, you get some sudden luck when Sade Sati is ending.
My Guru told me that in the second phase he got into a big accident and then right before Sade Sati ended he got very honorable work without much effort.
But question is that, do all people go through the same pattern and routine in Sade Sati, the answer is no!!
When I started my Sade Sati in November 2011, I suffered the very same day and the first phase of Sade Sati was very tough for me.
But I also know a lot of people who got great results on the beginning day of Sade Sati. Sade Sati is not always bad and is transit-only, and one should not stress much about it.
Your current planetary dasha and other factors matter here more than anything, and without considering these factors, nothing accurate can be predicted.
There are 12 zodiacs, and the population of the whole world is around 6 billion, which means one zodiac gets 50 million individuals approximately, which means at any point in time 50*3 equal to 150 million people are under Sade Sati, and if we add Kantaka Shani (Saturn transit in 4th house) and Ashtma Shani ( Saturn transit in 8th house), then this figure we reach 250 million.
Obviously, not all are suffering here, and the fear of Sade Sati is unnecessary sometimes; we must rise above it & embrace the transformation it brings for us.
Let's discuss this more in next section.
Sade Sati is that scary? Do people really get affected by it?
The fear of Sade Sati is well known and a lot of people looks for solutions of it.
For your information, there is no mention of the term Sade Sati in classical books of astrology but yes, there is a mention of bad effects of Saturn transit through 12th, 1st & 2nd houses from the Moon and only negative is written about it.
Let's see what classic books have stated on effects of Saturn transit through these houses with respect to planet Moon.
- Sage Mantreshwar in Phala Deepika states that Saturn in 12th house from Moon causes loss of wealth.
- Whereas transit of Saturn over the Natal Moon causes mental issues and lack of effectiveness in actions or karma.
- Over 2nd house from the Moon, it causes loss of wealth and same time cause issues in the family.
Naturally, the above mentioned effects seem to be bad, and at any point of time total three signs are in Sade Sati.
I don't think everyone with these Moon sign are experiencing such deep issues in their life.
Hence, we do need to see things holistically.
Around 150 million people are in their Sade Sati right now and not all are having a bad time! There are certain conditions in which Sade Sati doesn't give much bad effects.
- Sade Sati won’t prove bad if you are in dasha or antardasha of a beneficial planet.
- As per Astrology texts, Saturn gives good results in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses.
- 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, Sade Sati 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 there are not many chances that all 7 signs transit will be good. But a few years will be there where Jupiter will protect you from the bad effects of Sade Sati.
- If the ascendant in the natal chart is Taurus, Libra, Capricorn, or Aquarius, then Sade Sati tends to not harm much.
Above rules can be bended because each horoscope contains different dynamics, People with strong rajyoga usually don’t lose everything because they are bound to reach at good heights. Rather they gather more awareness on their abilities and capabilities.
I have written a detailed article which explains how Sade Sati can give beneficial results. After reading this you will have less fears on Sade Sati.

Life After Sade Sati
It is very obvious that after the period of Sade Sati, the planet Moon, which signifies the mind, gains relief from Saturn's trials over it.
After Sade Sati, Saturn enters the 3rd house from the natal moon, bringing good results. In the 3rd house, Saturn functions exceptionally well, naturally bringing courage, a rise in efforts, strength in the body, and a strong willpower.
Additionally, it's important to remember that overcoming Sade Sati doesn't guarantee the absence of future problems.
It's just the experiences of Sade Sati that will allow the native to give better handling.
Let's see what progress we can experience and how we can utilize it more effectively.
1. Personal growth: The difficulties faced in the Sade Sati period make the mind stronger, more experienced, more disciplined, and more resilient. Now this new version of the native is more capable of handling life and its dynamics. The native will not panic easily and will be more thoughtful before making any decisions. Better discipline will bring improvements in life and deliver good results for them.
2. Career Improvement: As Saturn is the karaka of career and position, this area is most affected. Natives can make major moves and can become very successful in the next couple of years. If Dasha is a supportive planet, then surely they can leave their mark and have a lasting impact on everyone around them. It is seen that after Sade Sati, the career line can change and natives can enter into a profession that will be more suited and capable of extracting the best out of them.
3. Better Relationships: Relationships post Sade Sati phase are always good, and native now develops a new point of view about them and maintains better behavior and also responses better in conflicts.

The possibility of childbirth is always high, and natives form good bonds with Father also.
4. Financial Recovery: Due to improvements in their career and mindset, now natives will be able to work on finances. Life after Sade Sati can be full of ideas for wealth generation.

They take better care of their physical health and don't engage in harmful activities. Vices like smoking, drinking, and drugs can become a thing of the past. This new version of their will be into physical exercise and activities that promote good health. Similarly, their mental health receives a massive boost. Meditation and similar mindfulness techniques become part of their daily routine. Even when the natal moon is highly afflicted in the horoscope, the behavior and issues related to it start to subside after the end of the Sade Sati period.
Let's discuss the example of a native who improved the quality of his life after Sade Sati and became a successful businessman. He also worked hard on his marital issues and took sessions of marriage counseling in the last phase of Sade Sati; this helped him immensely in his marriage. For his health also, he made major changes in his lifestyle, and after the heart attack in his peak phase of Sade Sati. He learnt his lessons and stopped smoking.
You can see above his Horoscope, the native have Sagittarius rising with the exalted Moon in the 6th house. His Sade Sati started on June 7, 2000, to May 30, 2007.
Note: He was able to learn his lessons and had a positive transformation because of the strength of planet Moon.
Examples Showcasing The Effects Of Sade Sati

Which means he achieved a significant position in his peak phase of Sade Sati. This example shows that Sade Sati can bring good results also; all you need is a benefic Moon in an unafflicted state. Strong rajyoga in the horoscope and dasha of a benefic planet. All these parameters are present in the horoscope of Jawaharlal Nehru.
Moon is in Cancer sign.
2. Indira Gandhi, the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, became prime minister of India when she was running Sade Sati. Again, a good example that shows that Sade Sati can bless the native with major success.
Moon is in Capricorn sign.
3. Morarji Desai Sade Sati was an amazing period for him. During his second Sade Sati, Morarji Desai became a cabinet minister, and during the third Sade Sati, he became prime minister of India. However, his tenure as prime minister was not without its challenges, primarily due to Ketu's influence over the planet Moon and the rotation of the 5th and 8th house lords.
Moon In Leo
Now, here are examples where natives went through rough patches during their Sade Sati.
