All About Sade Sati

Sade sati definitely brings drastic changes. Just like Jupiter is the Lord of sudden changes, Saturn is the Lord of big changes. So depending on where your Saturn is placed, this can be the best or the worst time of your life. One thing is for sure, you won't be the same person that you were seven and a half years ago.

How to know if you have a Sade sati going on?
Notice the sign of Moon placement in your birth chart. That's your janma rashi. Sade sati is a period of three 2.5 years long transit of Saturn in the sign before, the sign itself and the sign after. For example if your Moon sits in Aquarius, you have a Sade sati when Saturn moves from Capricorn till Pisces. Simple, right?

Effects of Sade sati
Dhayya 1. Saturn in the sign just before your moon sign.
Bad- financial losses, loans, leakage of wealth, unnecessary expenditure, loss of job.
Good- change of line, wealth might increase or decrease but saving and net assets will definitely increase

Dhayya 2. Saturn in moon sign
Bad- health issues, friends and family might not support, loss of confidence
Good- you become more fitness conscious, friends and family love and support you like never before.

Dhayya 3. Saturn in sign just after the moon sign
Bad- disputes within the family, you might have to experience death of someone close.
Good- peace of mind at home, max satisfaction.

Now there's a thumb rule about moon signs for which Saturn is benefic or malefic. Like every other thumb rule, it is not 100% accurate, but generally it has been observed to be correct, so it is vastly followed.

What to do now that Sade Sati has put you out of your comfort zone?

Moon signs Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces.

Karma and Charity. Saturn is a highly action oriented planet, no amount of chanting or puja will please it more than good deeds. Still, if unable to perform good deeds due to whatever reason, om sham shanishcharaye namah works. But do check if you've exhausted every other possibility first.

1. Help the differently abled.
2. Make amends with people you might have hurt in the past. Make a list, do something good for them.
3. Try to recognise an authority over yourself... Could be a parent, a spouse, a teacher, a guide. But someone to whom you confess your wrongdoings and your efforts to make it right. This lifts the bad effects of Saturn like anything. If possible, write in your diary/journal everyday - I am answerable to _____ writing the name of the authority you've established.
4. If you light a diya in the house, be sure to add some black till in the oil/ghee.

Moon signs - Taurus, Capricorn, Libra and Aquarius. Sade sati is going to flip your life for the best you'll ever have. So make sure you climb that mountain of greatness when time is on your side. Family, friends, money, achievement... Go get them.

1.Hanuman Bhakti has proven miraculous. A photo or idol of Sanjeevani carrying hanuman ji will go a long way.
2. Saturday fasting will bring you money
3. Wearing black on Saturdays will bring peace in the family.
4. Learn something new. Whatever you learn in this period will definitely help you in the long run. The best part is, you get to decide what it would be.
5. Have a little faith in yourself. Take the leap. Start that company, ask that girl/guy out, try for a kid. Saturn is here to shower you with gifts.

Virgos and Geminis.. For you this period will remain largely neutral. You don't need Saturn remedies or Saturn favors. It's other planets aspecting Saturn that get active, making sade sati bad or good for you and remedies for those planets are what you need.
