Astrology Saadhe Saatis (7.5 yrs of Saturn Period)



What is Sade Sati?

Saturn is a slow moving planet and it takes 2.5 year to cross one sign. Saturn takes 29 to 30 years to cross the whole zodiac. When Saturn transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd house from the natal Moon, in your birth chart then, this period is known as Sade Sati.

The first phase of Sade Sati starts when Saturn transits in the 12th house from the natal Moon. For example, if your Moon is in Cancer sign then, when Saturn transits over the gemini sign, the first phase of Sade sati will start. The second phase of Sade Sati starts when Saturn transits over the natal Moon ( means in Cancer sign) and the third phase starts when it passes 2nd from the natal Moon ( means in Leo sign).

The effect of Sade Sati depends on the placement of the Moon in sign and house. Sade sati affects both mentally and tangible things in life. At a very high level Sade Sati is a time of special lessons from Saturn as Saturn has a greater impact on the Moon (mind and emotions). Those lessons are often humbling and ego-crushing.

Why is Saadhe Saati (Sade Sati) known as a period of hardship?

Many people are fearful of Saturn due to the hardships people face under Saturn’s influence. Saturn teaches us lessons, trains us for increased responsibility and points out where we come up short. It will be a pain point however, Saturn does not inflict random, purposeless, painful experiences during its transit. 

You often tend to experience what is considered the more 'negative' of its manifestations. As Saturn points out what area or areas you need to rework. Saturn teaches you to become closer to your higher source and be more compassionate and humble by putting you through difficulties. Sometimes it may feel like a trial by fire but remember it is only a tough situation. It is in your darkest moments that you either become more grateful and aware or become self-focused. 

Saturn is like a master surgeon who surgically removes the tumors on our souls. Surgery is painful but it is also necessary to remove the hardships that are blocking our true fulfillment and purpose. It may feel as if you are suffering because of its tough, seemingly dispassionate actions, but the fact is you are working out your karma. This will help you to clear your way for higher consciousness, prosperity and good health.

Hardship of Sade Sati depends on the placement of the Moon in the birth chart.

P.S. My personal experience.

My Son’s Sade Sati started recently. He got sick and went through a painful and tough time.. Since we knew that his Sade Sati started we were more caring and sympathetic to his needs.
