What is Sade Satti?
Sade Satti is a very dreadful word for the common masses. When, Saturn transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd house from the natal moon (where one’s Moon is placed in the birth chart), this is termed Sade satti. Saturn takes 2½ years to pass through each sign (30 years to make one round of the zodiac), its passing through 3 signs make it 7 ½ years. Sade means “half” and Satti translates to “seven” and hence the name Sade Satti. There is a general belief that Sade Satti period brings dissatisfaction, disappointments, depression, differences, disputes, disharmony and undesirable results ,but actually this is not the case. Saturn does not always behave this way and it really depends on individual’s chart. For example if Saturn is acting as a yoga karaka, there is no way it can cause all that problems in native’s life. Most of the people go through 2-3 periods of Sade Satti in their life time, 4 periods are very rare. It reappears after every 25 years from when it first finished.
Shani Sade Satti influences Leo and Cancer Rashi / Lagna natives very much. Scorpio and Aries natives are affected very less.
Remedies should not be applied without taking into consideration how exactly the Sade Satti is going to affect you. If Saturn is trying to correct some of the wrong doings of your life e.g. trying to make you work very hard by creating obstacles, then it should probably be left untouched as its doing it for your own betterment. However if you feel that your life is really going through hell, you must consult a competent astrologer before applying any remedy. Daily reciting of Hanuman Chalisa can be done without any problem as it helps the native in all cases. Similarly wearing an Iron ring made out of horse shoe in your middle finger of right hand, offering copper and sesame oil to Saturn every Saturday are other harmless activities. Wearing any stone during this period is an absolute No No, unless the astrologer has really done his analysis (You can ask him the questions I explained earlier).
Saturn, which according to Hindu mythology is the son of Sun God, is not always a bad planet. Proper care must be given to complete analysis of this planet before concluding that Sade Satti can cause problems in one’s life.
Hi there,
Apparently i am right in the middle of my Sade Satti, going thru a divorce with a husband who doesn’t want to share his wealth. In my natal chart, i have Saturn at 20 degrees Aries in my 11th house. Saturn is going thru Sade Satti in my moon in virgo in the 4th house.
I do not know whether to fight my husband (he wants me to settle NOW) or settle…and whether the fighting is my Saturn karma, or not fighting is my karma (letting it go, moving on).
Any tips?
