What is Saturn's Sade Sati? Duration, Phases, and Remedies.
According to astrology, Sade Sati is a 7.5-year long period governed by Saturn, which is one of the nine planets. Astrologers believe that as Saturn moves from one zodiac sign to another, it enters the twelfth sign from the ascendant and continues its journey through the next two zodiac signs, completing its cycle.
What is Sade Sati? Why does Sade Sati last for 7.5 years?
According to the rules of astrology, the period of Sade Sati begins when Saturn transits through the twelfth house from the natal Moon. It is said that Saturn stays approximately two and a half years in one sign and due to its presence in three houses, it totals a period of 7.5 years. This is why this transit period of Saturn is known as Sade Sati. It is also believed that a smaller period of Sade Sati can occur when Saturn transits the fourth and eighth house from the Moon, and even when Saturn passes directly over the Moon itself from the first, second, and twelfth houses.
The three phases of Shani Sade Saati:
- • Rising Phase : According to astrology, the rising phase is considered the first phase of Sade Saati. It is said to last for two and a half years. During this phase, Saturn is believed to reside on the person's head, causing mental anguish. This can lead to various troubles including financial instability, mental stress, conflicts within the family, physical discomforts, and overall distress.
- • Peak Phase : The middle phase of Sade Saati is recognized as another critical period of two and a half years. During this time, Saturn is said to rest on the person's shoulder, necessitating hard work in all endeavors. Success in exams and professional life requires double the effort, yet this period can also bring career success, social respect, and benefits. The middle phase demands hard work but rewards diligence .
- • Setting Phase : The final phase of Sade Saati is also two and a half years long, Astrologers believe that during this phase, Saturn's influence moves to the person's feet. It is a period where significant hardships are relieved, though occasional difficulties might still occur. The person manages to maintain a good balance in life. Once this phase concludes, the person is considered free from the influences of Sade Sati.
