Question 1

What is Sade Sati?

Accepted Answer

Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn transits the twelfth, first and second signs from your natal Moon. It is divided into three phases of about two and a half years each: Rising, Peak and Setting.

Question 2

How do I know if I am in Sade Sati?

Accepted Answer

It is determined by your natal Moon's sign, not your sun sign. Saturn must currently occupy the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign itself, or the sign after it. Because it depends on the Moon, an accurate birth date, time and place are needed.

Question 3

Is Sade Sati always bad?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a period of consolidation and pressure that tends to remove what is not structurally sound. Which areas of life it touches depends on where the transited signs fall in your chart, which is why two people in Sade Sati at the same time experience it differently.
