What is Sade Sati?

Sade Sati, also known as Sadesati or Sade Sati, is an astrological phenomenon in Vedic astrology that refers to a 7.5-year period when the planet Saturn (Shani) transits through three zodiac signs: the sign preceding an individual’s Moon sign, the Moon sign itself, and the sign following it. This period is often considered challenging and transformative in a person’s life.

The term “Sade Sati” literally means “seven and a half” in Hindi, referring to the approximate duration of this transit (2.5 years in each of the three signs). It is believed to be a time of trials, obstacles, and significant life changes. However, it’s important to note that while traditionally viewed as a difficult period, many modern astrologers also see it as an opportunity for growth, introspection, and spiritual development.
