Frequently asked questions

What is Sade Sati?

Sade Sati means 'seven and a half'. It is the period when Saturn passes through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your natal Moon — about 2½ years each, 7½ years in all.

Is Sade Sati always bad?

No. It is a period of responsibility, hard work and change. Results depend on Saturn's role in your chart and your running dasha; many people achieve lasting success during Sade Sati.

Why are the dates different from other websites?

We compute the exact moments Saturn crosses each sidereal sign boundary, including retrograde back-and-forth. Sites using rounded or tropical positions can differ by weeks or months.
