What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the roughly seven and a half years Saturn spends moving through the sign before your moon sign, your moon sign itself and the sign after it. It comes about every 30 years, so most people live through two or three.
The three phases and Dhaiya
The rising phase (Saturn in the 12th from your Moon) tends to bring change, the peak (Saturn over your Moon) tests patience and resilience, and the setting phase (Saturn in the 2nd) touches money and family. Saturn in the 4th or 8th from your Moon, called Dhaiya or Kantak and Ashtama Shani, lasts about two and a half years. Saturn rewards steady, honest effort, and many people do their most lasting work during Sade Sati.
