Is Sade Sati running for me right now?

Sāḍe-sātī is the roughly 7½-year span in which transit Saturn moves through the sign before your Janma Rāśi (Moon sign), the sign itself, and the sign after it — three phases of about 2½ years each. VedicSpace computes it from Saturn's true sidereal position against your own Moon sign, names the phase you are in (rising, peak or setting) with its dates, or states plainly that it is not running.

The same search, run the same way, finds Ashtakavarga 79 times. So it is not blind — it simply did not find this.

The transit itself is genuinely classical — Saturn moving through the twelfth, first and second from the Moon is ordinary gochara, and the texts grade it. The NAME is what is absent from Parāśara. One work on our shelf does discuss it at length in Hindi, with its pāyā; that is a commentary, not a mūla, and we would rather tell you which than round it to zero.

What the corpus holdsLibrary: 73 files, 27 distinct works (22 classical).

About this page

Check whether Śani Sāḍe-sātī is running now, which of its three 2½-year phases (rising, peak, setting) you're in, and what it means.

Is Sade Sati running for me right now?: Sāḍe-sātī is the roughly 7½-year span in which transit Saturn moves through the sign before your Janma Rāśi (Moon sign), the sign itself, and the sign after it — three phases of about 2½ years each. VedicSpace computes it from Saturn's true sidereal position against your own Moon sign, names the phase you are in (rising, peak or setting) with its dates, or states plainly that it is not running.
Is Sade Sati always bad?: The classical texts give no single verdict: the reading depends on the phase, on Saturn's dignity, and on its house from the Moon. The name Sāḍe-sātī itself does not appear in the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra we publish — the transit is classical, the label is later. The page shows the phase and its dates and says where the texts are silent; it does not turn a transit into a threat.
