Astrool Sade Sati
The roughly seven-and-a-half years when Saturn passes through the sign before your Moon, your Moon sign and the sign after: a time of responsibility and rebuilding.
Definition
Sade Sati (Hindi for "seven and a half") begins when Saturn enters the sign before your Rashi and ends when it leaves the sign after. Saturn spends about 2.5 years in each, so the whole period lasts about 7.5 years and recurs roughly every 30 years.
| Phase | Saturn in | Typical themes |
|---|---|---|
| Rising | 12th from Moon | Expenses, sleep, letting go |
| Peak | Moon sign | Emotional pressure, responsibility, health |
| Setting | 2nd from Moon | Finances, family, speech |
It is known as a time of maturing and rebuilding, not only of hardship. The Vedic Birth Chart report shows whether you are in Sade Sati and the dates of each phase.
