Understanding Sade Sati

Sade Sati (also spelled Shani Sade Sati) is a 7.5 year period when Saturn (Shani) transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from your Moon sign (Rashi). This is one of the most significant transits in Vedic astrology.

Saturn takes approximately 2.5 years to transit each zodiac sign, and Sade Sati covers three consecutive signs, making it a 7.5 year cycle. While traditionally considered challenging, Sade Sati is actually a period of karmic learning, maturity, and transformation.

Typically 2-3 times in a normal lifespan. Since Saturn takes 29.5 years to complete one zodiac cycle, Sade Sati occurs roughly every 29-30 years for each person.
