Sade Saati Saturn transit

ॐ नमः शिवाय

Sade-Sati Time - ​7 1⁄2 years long period of Saturn (Shani) in three phases equally of ​2 1⁄2.

This astrological phase is much feared by those in India who believe Indian Astrology. This is a period with many challenges, but also a time of great achievements and recognition.

For instance, Albert Fredick Arthor Jorg- Lagna Libra became king in the period of Kantak shani. He was born in first sade-sati and two princess in second sade-sati period.

Sachin Tendulkar – Benefic result in Kantak and Ashtam shani period. Similarly Jatak also faced difficulties and succeeded awards in accordance with dashas also.   

The period of Sade-sati - when Transit Saturn enters the zodiac sign immediately before the zodiac sign of birth Moon of the Jatak.
if the birth Moon sign (Ayamsha) is Aries, then the Sade-sati will begin when Saturn enters sign Pisces. The Sade-sati will continue while Saturn transits over this Pisces sign and the next two signs, i.e. Aries and Taurus. Saturn spends around ​2 1⁄2 years in each sign. To cross these three signs it takes about ​7 1⁄2 years. Thus the name Sade-sati which literally means seven and a half.

Sadesati is a time of great accomplishment. Saturn (the graha which rules strenuous hard work and eslf-discipline) shows its rewards during this time.

According to folk astrologers of Vedic astrology, this is a troublesome time for the individual who is going through it as it is understood in society that benefic time is to get wealth with less efforts or no efforts. There may be a lot of challenges in a person's life. If Saturn is ill-placed in bad houses, he may face challenges that reflect this bad placement.

However, there's another thoughts of astrology even confirms with evidences that the sade-sati period is not to take challenging, it is not as damaging as folk astrologers claim and that many people achieved great success during the period of Sade-sati.

Saturn, the karaka for hard work, discipline, old age and authority, will show results based on how the individual has lived his/her life up till that point. If the person has been disciplined and worked hard, this is the moment Saturn shows its rewards.

Sade sati's heaviest challenges during this time, and how the individual deals with it, sets the tone for the next 22.5 years as Saturn starts to move around the twelve houses again in total closing loop of one cycle of 30 years.  

The impact of Sadesati is supposed to be felt differently by people of different moon signs. It is said that people of Moon sign Capricorn and Aquarius do not have any ill effects from Sadesati, while people of Sun sign Leo and and Moon sign cancer feel the most malefic impact because Saturn considers the Sun and Moon, the ruler of Leo and Cancer, to be its bitter enemy.

Sade Sati is divided into three phases called Rising, Peak and Setting and the results of Sade Sati varies as per the phase native is going through.

Vedic astrology also prescribes certain remedies and mantras that can be recited to please the lord Saturn and limit the effect of Saturn's Sadesati. remedies also include prayers to Lord Ganapathy or Vigneswara. And also praying Hanuman or Anjaneya. Mostly people pray Hanuman being energy in action resulting into conversion for hard work and determination to achieve the goal set for.

Another related astrological transit of Saturn is the Dhaiyya (2.5 years), also known as Small Panoti (Small Trouble), and Kantakshani, or Ashtamshani. This transit of Saturn occurs when the Saturn is transiting through the 4th sign from the birth Moon sign (Kantak Shani), or from the 8th sign from the birth moon sign (Ashtamshani). Vedic astrology says that these two are hazardous periods, though not as much as the Sade-sati. During kantak shani sometimes, Jatak is deprived of food or indiscipline for taking lunch/dinner.

Negative outcomes of shani dhaiya gives State of disgrace or loss of self-respect, Lack of prosperity, effort that does not accomplish its intended purpose in time, loses consistently, inability to discharge debts as they come due, loss of ability to function normally, disposed to psychological variability and having difficulty in coping with personal relationships, destroys the peace or tranquility, mental and physical health ailments.

Outcome- Jatak is needed to come with truth, hardwork and discipline.
