Sade Sati Phase Checker

How it works

In Vedic astrology, Sade Sati is the 7.5-year period when Shani (Saturn) transits the three rashis around your janma rashi (birth moon sign): the 12th (Rising / Pratham Dhaiya, 2.5 yrs), the 1st / janma (Peak / Madhya Dhaiya, 2.5 yrs), and the 2nd (Setting / Antim Dhaiya, 2.5 yrs). Saturn takes ~30 years to complete one zodiac orbit, so each rashi gets Sade Sati roughly once every 30 years. The Peak phase is traditionally considered the most testing.

Worked example

Saturn entered Aquarius (Kumbh) on 17 January 2023 and will move to Pisces on 29 March 2025, then to Aries by mid-2027. So natives with moon in Capricorn (Makar) are in their Setting phase from 2023; Aquarius natives are in the Peak phase until 2025; Pisces natives enter the Rising phase in 2025. Many people misread placards-based predictions because Sade Sati uses moon sign (rashi), not sun sign / western zodiac.

When to use this

• Planning major life events — marriage, property purchase, job change
• Choosing the right time to start a business or take a long loan
• Tracking which phase is on for family members (good for puja planning)
• Curious about whether ongoing struggles align with Saturn's transit
