How we check
Sade Sati is the roughly 7½ years when Saturn passes the 12th, 1st and 2nd sign from your Moon sign — about 2½ years each. Dhaiya is about 2½ years with Saturn in the 4th (Kantak) or 8th (Ashtama) sign from the Moon. Dates are the days Saturn enters each sign, as Indian almanacs (Lahiri ayanamsa) count them.
Common questions
Is Sade Sati always bad?
No. Saturn tests and then rewards. For some lagnas Saturn is a friendly planet, and many people make lasting progress in Sade Sati through hard, honest work. The strength shown above is for your chart.
How often does Sade Sati come?
About every 30 years, as Saturn takes about 29½ years to go round the zodiac — usually two or three times in a life.
Why does the same phase appear twice?
Saturn moves backwards (retrograde) for about 4½ months every year. Near the edge of a sign it can step back into the previous sign and then return — each stay is listed with its own dates.
From which date does it count?
From the day Saturn enters the sign, as Indian almanacs count it with the Lahiri ayanamsa. Western (tropical) astrology gives different dates.
