Description

Shani Sade Sati is a significant and often feared period in Vedic astrology, associated with the planet Saturn (Shani). The term “Sade Sati” refers to a span of seven and a half years during which Saturn transits over the zodiac sign before a person’s Moon sign, the Moon sign itself, and the sign after it. Each phase approximately lasts for 2.5 years.

This period is known for bringing major challenges, delays, hardships, and life lessons. It tests an individual’s patience, perseverance, and integrity. During Sade Sati, people may face obstacles in career, relationships, finances, and health. However, it is also a transformative phase that can lead to great maturity, wisdom, and spiritual growth if faced with humility and hard work.

Saturn, being the karmic planet, delivers results based on past deeds. Thus, Sade Sati is often seen as a time of karmic cleansing and realignment. Remedies like chanting Shani mantras, offering oil to Shani temples, helping the poor, and maintaining honesty and discipline are advised to ease its effects.
