Common questions

What is Sade Sati?

The roughly seven and a half years in which Saturn (Shani) passes through the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign itself, and the sign after it. Saturn spends about two and a half years in each sign, so the three phases add up to about 7½ years.

Which Moon signs are in Sade Sati now?

Saturn is in Pisces (Meena) now, so Sade Sati is running for Moon signs Aries (Mesha), Pisces (Meena) and Aquarius (Kumbha) — rising, peak and setting phase respectively. Dhaiyya is running for Sagittarius (Dhanu) and Leo (Simha).

What is Shani Dhaiyya?

The two and a half years when Saturn is in the 4th sign (kantaka) or the 8th sign (ashtama) from your Moon sign. It is sometimes called the small panoti.
