The term Sade Sati is a Hindi word which means seven and a half, wherein sade stands for

half and sati stands for seven. The term has been used to explain a particular phase of Saturn transit in the moon-chart of an individual. When the planet Saturn enters the twelfth house of a moon-chart, the sadesati is said to begin and continues till it remains in the second house. This means that the day Saturn leaves the second house from the moon, the sadesati of a person comes to an end. Saturn remains in one sign for approximately two and a half years. That is why to transit through the three signs it takes a total of seven and a half years, when it transits through the sign previous to ones moon sign, the moon sign itself, and the sign next to the moonsign. It is a basic astrological common knowledge that a chart has twelve houses and every planet passes through all of these houses one by one in their own time period. This means that Saturn also passes through all twelve houses. Then why has its transit through the twelfth, first and second houses from moon has been given extra consideration and labeled as sade sati. I may say that there are two reasons for thatone which is a technical reason is that it is a CONVENIENCE CONCEPT, that is, to segment one part of study of Saturn transit out of its entire journey through the twelve houses, thus, to make it more simplified and understandable. Another reason is more substantial, which is, that a rashi or moonsign of a native is one of the most important influences in his life, and on the other hand, Saturn transit is also crucial as it is for a very long time that this planet remains in a particular sign and house. So if we combine these two considerations, that is, the significant duration and role of the planet Saturn in a persons life and the significance of the moonsign, then we w ould realize the need of this treating this phase as a special transit. Apart from the moonsign, the previous and the subsequent signs have been involved because they are the closest to the moonsign and thus Saturn being close to moonsign from these two positions influence it significantly. As an Astrologer, I always try to take an objective and non-scary way of interpretations. So, before delving into the hardships which sadesati brings, I would like to mention as to what exactly leads to this general PHOBIA of sadesati and five topmost reasons that sadesati can even be extraordinarily beneficial. People are scared of the planet Saturn because it is a hard taskmaster. It makes them work hard and bring discipline in their lives which means the person under its influence has to now grow up and stop being a playful kid. However, once the person is already mature enough or attains maturity, the benefits of this planet can be reaped of and enjoyed which are very permanent and stable. Following are the topmost five reasons how and why this phase may be enjoyed rather than be scared of : #1) FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SATURN AS A BENEFIC PLANET Although Saturn has been designated as a natural malefic, for a few ascendants or lagnas, it becomes benefic and even a raj-yog-karaka. These are those who have Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius as their ascendants. For these people, Saturn brings good results in some phase of sade-sati and thus the entire seven and a half year period is not bad for them and in fact, as I said, a part of it can be even beneficial. It could be the first dhaiyya (the first two and a half years), the second dhaiyya and/or the third dhaiyya. #2) EFFECTS OF SADESATI ALSO DEPEND ON THE SIGN THROUGH WHICH SATURN IS TRANSITING Mercury and Venus are permanent friends of Saturns. If it is passing through signs owned be these planets, then the chances are high that the results shall be very beneficial for the native. Thus, if Saturn is transiting through Virgo, Gemini, Taurus, and Libra signs, then it will give very beneficial results. In fact, Saturn at the present time, that is in February/March 2010 is in Virgo which is

generally good for all people as it is in its friendly sign. Also, if any hardships are to be brought for those under sadesati influence during these days, they shall be mitigated to a large extent. Also if Saturn is transiting through its own signs, that is, Capricorn and Aquarius, the benefits shall be more positive than negative. #3) PLACEMENT OF SATURN IN THE LAGNA CHART AND/OR NAVAMANSH If Saturn is beneficially disposed in the birth chart or the D-9 chart, that is, if it is placed in the third, sixth, eighth, tenth, eleventh or twelfth house, then it will lead to overall good influences in the natives life, although some exceptions may come under this category, depending upon all the combinations. #4) IF SATURN IS VARGOTTAM Saturn also becomes a beneficial influence if it occupies the same sign in the birth chart and in navamansh. #5) TIME TO LEARN Despite all the adversities that are brought forward with sadesati, it is a phase which leads to permanent changes in the persons personality as the tribulations and the rewards it brings are of a permanent nature. The gains and losses in the natives life lead to a permanent i mpact on the psyche of the person. The period of sadesati takes away the natural support system of the person, leaving him on his own and thus leads to the maturity of the person as he learns to survive in the world. To remove the fear of sadesati, was the main object of my write-up and I hope I have been able to do that for all of my readers. To add to these, I would now mention certain results which occur during this phase so that the person can prepare himself to face these. POSITIVE RESULTS may include rewards paid for hard-work, wider social acceptance and help, good family life, career advancement, overcoming obstacles and sound health. NEGATIVE RESULTS may include public humiliation, result of hard-work delayed or compromised, failures in enterprises and efforts, disturbed family life, greater challenges and health problems Apart from this, it may be noted that the first dhaiyaa is beneficial for the following moonsignsGemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces and it is bad for the following moonsigns- Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and give neutral or mixed results for Aries and Capricorn moons. The second dhaiyya is good for following moonsigns-Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra Capricorn and Aquarius, and is bad for Aries, Cancer, Leo and Scorpio moons. It gives neutral or mixed results for Sagittarius and Pisces moons. The third dhaiyya is good for Aries, Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Capricorn moons, bad for Gemini, Cancer, Libra and Pisces moons, and mixed and neutral for Scorpio and Aquarius moons. In conclusion, I would like to say that although sadesati is infamous for being a difficult time in a persons life, if the person keeps in mind certain truths like above about this time, it can bring a lot of mental and practical ease in his life. The adverse results can be mitigated with the right attitude and positive results can be accrued gracefully and with humility and that is what exactly, Saturn is there for - TO TEACH US HUMILITY IN LIFE

Sadhe Saati of Saturn

What is Shani Sade Sati

Transit of Saturn over 12th, 1st, and 2nd house with respect to the moon position in the horoscope is known as Saade sati. Saturn completes its transit in zodiac in 30 years. So in one sign it takes 2 years to transit and in three signs it takes period of 7 years. This period is known as Saade Sati in Vedic Astrology. During sade sati phase, native feels generally problems related to health, mental peace and finance. Generally, a person experiences saadhe Saati Phase thrice in his lifetime. In first round of Sade-Sati, it effects on education, grand parents. In second round Sade-Sati phase influences on profession, finance, family & parents. The last one affects health than anything else. "Sade-Sati" is not always bad result giving period. It could be a period of great success also in some conditions. Sadhe Saati should be studies as follows: Rashi & Nakshatra of the Moon : Check Rashi and Nakshatra of Moon. If Chandresha is Saturn or Janma Nakshatresh is Saturn then Sadhe Sati is not much disturbing. A Moon that is natally familiar with the ways of Saturn is not disturbed too badly due to the transit of Saturn during Sadhe-sati! Nakshatra and Nakhatresha of transiting Saturn : During the period of Sade Sati it is worthy to see the Nakshatra and Nakshatresha of Saturn in transit. In transit, if Saturn is transiting in such a Nakshatra whose Lord is friendly to Saturn then Saturn will give good result. If Nakshatra Lord is not friendly but it is functional benefic then also negativity of Saturn transit will be modified. Ashtakavarga : As per Ashtakavarga Sade Sati result is assessed beautifully. Sarvashtakavarga : In this method the entire 7 year period is divided into 3 nearly equal periods. If the 12th, 1st and 2nd and houses from the Moon all have high benefic bindus (above 28) then the entire period of 7 years goes well. If one house has 28 below points then when Saturn will transit that house, the period of 2 years will give undesirable experience. In short, the more points, the better result, the lesser points, the worse result. Bhinnashtakavarga of Saturn: Bhinnashtakavarga of Saturn gives fair idea of good or worse result of sade sati. The sign having four or more bindus in Saturn's Bhinnashtakavarga will provide good result during Sadhesati. If the three relevant signs have more than 4 points for example 6, 7 or 8 bindus, the Sadhe-sati can be very good. Bhinnashtakavarga of the Moon : Likewise, Bhinnashtakavarga of Moon also should be seen. Bindu by Saturn for the Moon : In the Moon's Bhinnashtakavarga and Prastarachakra, if in the relevant signs Saturn contributes a bindu then Saturn will not be inimical to the Moon and experience during Sadhe-sati period will not be bad. Sadhe Saati analysis on Kakshya level: Astrologer attempts to weigh the Sadhe Sati result minutely on considering Saturn transit in Kakshya (3 degre 45 minute). In the period of 7 years Saturn transits 3 x 8 = 24 kakshyas. Prastarachakras of Saturn and moon are checked to see whether Kakshya lord has contributed a bindu in the relevant sign or not. If there is point, Saturn transiting period in that Kakshya will be good. Presence of a bindu in the relevant kakshya is indicative of good time.

Transit of other major planets: During the period seven-and-a-half years, transit of other planets particularly slow-moving planets, must be seen. If Jupiter's (or Rahu's and Ketu's) transit results are favourable, Sadhe-sati can't be too adverse. Dasha-Bhukti: Astrologer must not be oblivious about Dasha Period. If the dasha is good, Sadhe-sati can't be too bad. If the dasha and Sadhe-sati both are bad then only the full force of evil Sadhe-sati is felt. If both are good then Sadhe-sati is a period to look forward to. Besides above, Moons position must be seen in the natal chart. If moon is in Dusthan (6, 8 & 12), Sadhe Saati effect will be worse. If moon is well placed and bereft of malefic influence, native experiences comparatively better results. Further, if Saturn is yogkaraka in the chart, its sadhe sati or dhaiya will not be so bad even result will be nice, if things are ideally favourable. Simultaneously, Tattwa of Ascendant also be seen. If it belongs to Fiery signs Aries, Leo or Sagittarius, the Sadhe-sati will be adverse. The reason for this is that only for Fiery rashis, neither Saturn nor the Moon are trikona lords. When either of them is a trikona lord, Sadhe-sati does not deliver very bad results.

What is Daiyya of Shani

When Saturn Transits over the 4th and 8th house from the natal Moon, it is known Dhaiyya. Dhaiyyaa is a period of 2.5 years. Dhaiya also causes stressful periods. When Saturn transits in the 4th house from the Moon, he aspects the natal Moon house position including 6th and the 10th house from the Moon. During this period, native may face anxiety, house problem, problem in job & profession life may be struggleful if Saturn is not favourable in the chart. Saturns transit over 8th house from Moon is known as Ashtama -Shani. In this case, it again aspects the 10th house including 2nd and 5th from the Moon. During this period, native may face accident, danger to life, divorce, loss of wealth of souse and self, serious health problem to mother, loss in share market, speculation, lottery, problem in, divorces etc if Saturn is ideally placed in the chart.

SADESATI REMEDIES Native will be under the influence of Shani's Sadesati whenever Saturn passes through the twelfth, first and second houses from the natal moon. "If you hope to prevent Saturn from mangling your life, as he has mangled so many lives, make regular offerings of black sesame seeds, sesame oil, and sugar on Saturday to an iron image of the Saturn; also, make Saturday donations of sesame and iron to the needy. Natives have to worship, give alms, and to have mantras recited for lord Saturn, so that to satisfy Lord Saturn and to reduce the intensity of his tortures in Sade Sati. Donate black gram, black cloth, iron, and oil to a Brahman, and feed Brahmans. "Select a learned and devout Brahman and have him recite Saturn's mantra for you 23,000 times. If you have mantras recited for you and feed some Brahmanas, and if you revere and worship those Brahmanas who perform these rituals for you as if they were Saturn himself, Saturn will become peaceable. When he has become satisfied by these means, Saturn will protect

you during your seven-and-a-half years in the same way that he would protect his own son." When Saturn is well placed or well aspected in horoscope, it gives integrity, wisdom, spirituality, fame, patience, ability to lead, authority, long life, organizational abilities, sincerity, honesty, love of justice, awareness of right and wrong. "If Saturn is not favorably posited in a natal chart, it makes the native greedy, morbid, and gloomy. They continuously suffer from losses and psychosomatic problems causes by disturbance in their body chemistry. Saturn is a planet of confinement. When it is ill posited or badly aspected in a chart, it brings obstruction, delay, humiliation, enmity, bad karmas, lawsuits, and prison. It makes people lonely, pessimistic, afraid, and subject to premature aging, drug addiction, and gives them suicidal tendencies. When Saturn is not properly placed or ill aspected it brings miseries, sorrow, delay, obstruction, disappointment and dis-harmony, disputes, dejection, difficulties, despondency and destruction (death). It is advisable that you should be alert undertaking any major activity during the period of Shani's Sadesati, because unexpected hurdles may come across your path during this period. ***************************************************************************** MANTRAS FOR SADESATI Recite or get it recited by a Brahmin the following mantra for 23000 times on Saturday: -
