What is Sade Sati

This period occurs in every 30 years in a person’s life. This is a 7.5 years of Saturn’s transit to three houses. As the term suggests it is a period covering total 7 and a half years(7.5 years) comprising of 2 and a half years (2.5 years) of each cycle and thus total 2 and a half year multiply by 3 that is total seven and half years.

The formation is caused when Saturn transits three houses in the total period of seven and a half year. So, Saturn stays two and half year in each house. The formation comes into effect when Saturn in the first cycle transits to the 12^th house from the Moon Lagna or Rasi (Moon Sign) of a person, then in second cycle transits to the 1^st house that is Moon Lagna or Rasi and then finally during the third cycle transits to the second house from the Moon Lagna or Rasi.

True role of Saturn during Sade Sati

Saturn is a great friend, but only when we understand its advice. People who do not understand is advice and role in the evolution naturally fear it and this fear have caused the wrong and dreadful image of Saturn. Saturn has been assigned the duties by lord Shiva. After passing and experiencing all the hard struggles with discipline, Saturn bestows the real light of inner talent and rightful transformation with perfection. Its main role is providing the inner deeper insight by shaking the latent energies. First Saturn during Sade Sati covers and hides and rather removes any form of external support (cuts off the supplies of support) on one hand and tries to awaken or rekindle the divine light.

This process leads to churning in the psychological process of the person, which becomes more crystallized, deep, insightful, analytic and intense. After this phase in life, person finds himself more enabled. Saturn acts as a great liberator from bondage of bad karmas because after this phase, there is psychological transformation and change in one’s outlook.

On the surface, the struggles are immense, but only as a purifying catalyst for further growth. It is phase in life when there is emotionally and psychologically challenging but deeply maturing, transforming and crystillazying.

Ten things experienced during Sade Sati

Most commonly following 10 things will be expected by the person during phase of Sade Sati. Some my experience all 10, some less but experienced most of the time revolve around these ten.

1. Hard Work

• Forget the easy life now
• No short cuts to any goal
• Extra hours of toil and work

2. Thrown out comfort zone

• Either relocation or getting fired from current job
• Forced to learn some new skills
• You will have to get out of your comfort zone
• All fears will come in front of you

3. Hurdles at each step

• No easy movements. Obstacles at each phase
• Need to develop skill and courage to fight it out
• Have to develop patience and obsessed cravings for immediate fructifications

4. Stress

• Will have to face stress
• Over brooding and analyzing will give troubles.
• To avoid this – focus only patiently on the assigned duties with organized time table

5. Loss of Egoistic holdings

• Situations of neglect, loss of position or respect
• Some known will conspire against you.
• Due to loss of material things which were part of your egoistic self expression and image

6. Loss of current status

• Loss of status – position, post, support, materials
• Sudden change and transformation in life
• Sudden beginning of a new thing, job or business

7. Short term isolation & losses will shake you

• Learning from failures, transforming and grinding actions for long term results will help
• Over thinking and brooding on immediate losses will give more stress
• You may be isolated. But this will be great learning and development for those who learn the difference between loneliness and aloneness
• You may face legal actions against any wrong doings in the past

8. Daily Routine will either break you or shape you

• Remember it takes no efforts to remain stuck in the same place
• Change in routine will upset you. But sticking to it will help
• Have to develop sense of rightful duty

9. Discipline

• Either you learn it yourself or if he teaches it will be very strict and unbearable
• Avoid all laziness and shortcuts

10. Transformative Lessons

• You will be a different person after or even during the Sade Sati period
• After all hard tasks, disciplines, rectifying the old bad patterns and habits, hiding all externals support Saturn gives inner light with positive transformation and evolution
• Your latent energies are aroused and you find yourself more enabled with deep roots of rightful karmas.

Note: Similar results can be experience during the Ashtam Saturn (When Saturn transits to the 8^th house form Moon Sign/ Rashi.

Why results of Sade Sati are different for different ascendants & different phases of life cycle

Results experienced by persons vary according to their ascendants. As Saturn is good for Libra and Taurus ascendants, so it may not be so bad, but it will not stop doing its main task here also.

Second reason is that the overall strength and dignity of Saturn in the birth chart with respect to its sign of placement (say if placed in pisces sign, it will give little benign results), the aspects Saturn receives, exaltation etc. Nakshatra placement of Saturn should also to be considered.

Thirdly, change in results are also seen in view of the phase of life the Sade Sati is formed. Whether Sade sati is occurring during childhood, during youth period or in the middle part of life or later part or old age.

Fourth cause of different results by different persons is the nature of karmas (good or bad deeds done in the past because Saturn is chief governor of Karma and lord of justice). That is why, many persons during their Sade Sati phase saw rise in their wealth, got promotion, foreign travels, constructed house, good business and also spiritual growth, whereas, may persons saw deep decline their profession, disputes with higher ups, relocations, deaths in family, thefts, losses, diseases and so on.

General effects of the Three Cycles

Here, I will explain only the general effects of the three cycles of two and a half years each

First Cycle

During the phase of 1^st cycle, bad effects are experienced by the parents and relatives of the person. Earnings, rather the source of earnings may get affected. There can be unexpected expenditures. There can be disease of eyesight also.  Some persons may have inclination towards philosophy and spiritual practices during this phase (subject to maturity). If person is young, then bad experiences may be faced by the father of the person with respect to his business or job whereas, mother or sister of the person can face severe health. The aspect of Saturn during this phase will affect the second, sixth and ninth house from the moon rasi. Person may be separated from his family for some time due to many of the reasons like relocation in profession, quarrels in family. There can be too much mental stress.

Second Cycle

During this phase of 2^nd cycle, results are experienced in the mental and psychological structure of the person. The person is himself affected. Person can be prone to much carelessness, legal disputes and adverse daily routine. Family life gets much disturbed. Travels lead to losses. There may be loss in job or business, no gains of efforts. Aspects of Saturn during this phase affect the third, seventh and tenth house from the moon rasi. There can be unnecessary journeys, losses to relations, death of some near relative, bad health, estranged relations, nervous breakdown, and loss of some major support.

Third Cycle

During this phase of 3^rd cycle, if the person is himself in his last phase of life or later part of life, can experience severe health problem and death also (subject to other factors in the chart and the phase of life going on). For some there can be loss of reputation, expenses will be more. There can be some scam, financial loss and problems related to loan and debts. Problem can be experienced by children also. Care should be taken for the aspects of Saturn during this phase for the 4^th, 8^th and 11^th house from the moon rasi. Some may experience sudden loss of wealth or minimized gains.

Regarding Remedies:

There are various remedies for Saturn Sade Sati period which you will find here and there. But as per my experience after seeing hundreds of horoscopes, each chart is different and each person’s karmas of current life and past life karmas are different, ascendants may differ along with placement, conjunctions with Saturn. So same remedies will not find suitable for each person going through Sade Sati Period.

You can consult me for proper analysis of the chart and for advice on remedial measures.
