Mystery of Sade Satti

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 2 years to pass through each sign (30 years to make one roundof the zodiac), its passing through 3 signs make it 7 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 itreally 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.

Sade Satti Influence

While it is true that during this 7-1/2 years Saturn transit period people do experience some

tensions and troubles, it is nothing to be scared about. Even while giving some troubles andtensions, it does not deny you success. As a matter of fact a number of people prosper to new

heights during this period. Sade satti is about doing one's obligatory duties without considering

likes and dislikes. One who does this forever is least effected by Sade Satti and in fact gains during

this period. However if anyone is arrogant, egoistic, unsympathetic, and non-hard working then heis targeted during the person's Sade Satti and can make him go through a lot of hardships.

Three Cycles of Sade Satti

First cycle of Sade-sati generally affects close relatives more than the native. The 2nd cycle

influences the domestic front as well as the business front, and the 3rd cycle affects children,family, health, and physical suffering or may even indicate the death of the native. However before

coming to any conclusion an astrologer must the following things.

Is Saturn acting as a functional benefic or malefic in the natal chart?

Is Saturn coming under aspect of any naturally benefic/malefic planets.

What is the Dasa/bhukti running during that time? Is Saturn involved there?

Is the transit of Saturn under Vedha from Jupiter? What is the nature of Nakshatra under which Saturn falls in natal chart?

How strong is the Natal chart. E.g. how many benefic planets in kona and Kendras, How

well placed is Lagna and Lagna lord etc..

What's the influence of Lagna on Saturn? E.g. is Saturn in Lagna or is it in conjunction

with Lagna lord.

2/2

As you can see the results will really vary chart to chart. If someone is having all the -ve factor in

the chart as explained above then his time will be very bad, but if someone has most of the factors

as +ve, then Saturn will end up giving very good results. Keep this in mind while studying the badeffect explained below.

First Cycle

In the first cycle, when Saturn transits 12th house from moon for 2.5 years, the evil results are felt

more by the parents and near relations of the native than the native himself. There could be someeye related problems to people who abuse this wonderful gift e.g. watching too much TV by sitting

close to it. Saturn from this position throws its 3rd aspect on the 2nd house, which may affect the

financial position of the native by increasing the wasteful expenditure. Because of 7th aspect on6th house it can cause some debt. And finally because of 10th aspect on 9th house, it can bring

down the general fortune of the native and can also cause setbacks to the father of native.

Second Cycle

During the Second Cycle when Saturn transits first house from moon for 2.5 years, it affects the

native himself in domestic (7th aspect on 7th house and professional fields(10th aspect on 10thhouse). Being in the fist house it denotes ill health for the native. It can result in Weak finances,

many miseries, loss of health, separation from family, loss of friends, increase in unnecessary

expenditure, failure in undertakings, humiliation, loss of self confidence and self respect. One mustkeep in mind that these results can occur only when Saturn is acting as a pure malefic in the

native's chart as explained above. Less than 5% of the natives going through Sade Satti will

actually feel all these results. For most of the people there will be mixed results only.

Third Cycle

During the Third Cycle when Saturn transits in the 2nd house from Moon, It affects one's health,children and may even cause death if it come in late life .During this transit (8th house aspect). It

may cause Loss of money, heavy expenditure, loss of health, unhappy domestic life (aspect on 4th

house), mental distress, loss of wealth, increase in enemies, physical distress, quarrels withrelatives and friends, lots of grief, all sorts of sufferings.
