About Sade Sati
What is Shani Sade Sati?+
Sade Sati is the roughly 7½-year period when Saturn (Shani) transits the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign itself, and the sign after it. Each of the three phases lasts about 2½ years.
How is Sade Sati calculated?+
It depends on your Moon sign (Rashi) — the sign the Moon occupied at your birth, in the sidereal zodiac. That is why the calculator needs your birth date, time and place. Sade Sati is running whenever Saturn is in the 12th, 1st or 2nd sign from it.
How often does Sade Sati come?+
Saturn takes about 29½ years to go round the zodiac, so Sade Sati returns roughly every 30 years — most people go through it two or three times in a lifetime.
What is Shani Dhaiya?+
Dhaiya, or the small Panoti, is the 2½-year period when Saturn is in the 4th sign (Kantak Shani) or the 8th sign (Ashtama Shani) from your Moon sign.
What are the remedies for Sade Sati?+
Traditional remedies include chanting the Shani mantra, lighting a sesame-oil lamp and donating black sesame, mustard oil or black cloth on Saturdays, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, and performing a Sade Saati Shani Puja.
