What Sade Sati means
Sade Sati is the roughly seven and a half years in which Saturn passes through the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign, and the sign after it. A full season comes around about once every thirty years.
The three phases
The rising phase begins when Saturn enters the sign before your Moon sign. The peak is Saturn in your Moon sign. The setting phase is Saturn in the following sign. Because Saturn sometimes steps back into a sign before moving on, two phases can show overlapping dates.
A season of consolidation
Many people describe this period as one of maturity, focus and steady work. The tool presents it as a season for building routines and laying careful foundations, and the optional report adds a gentle practice for it.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Sade Sati last?
About seven and a half years in total, with each of the three phases lasting around two and a half years.
How do I know my Moon sign?
Enter your date, time and place of birth and the tool works it out. It uses the sidereal zodiac, so it can differ from the Moon sign in a western horoscope.
What if I do not know my birth time?
The tool uses midday and tells you when the Moon changes sign during that day, because then the result could differ.
Is this a prediction?
No. It is a traditional timing marker based on where Saturn is. It is best used as a prompt for reflection.
