About Saturn's Sadesati

Saturn (Shani) takes around 30 years to complete one revolution of the zodiac. It stays in each sign for around 2.5 years.

Saturn is considered a planet that brings misery and challenges for people when it's in an inauspicious position. The Sadesati is a period of 7.5 years during which Saturn is specially malignant and creates an unusual amount of problems in an individual's life.

The Sadesati begins when Saturn enters the 12th Rashi (sign) from the person's birth Moon-sign and ends when Saturn exits the 2nd sign from the person's birth Moon-sign. It takes about 7.5 years to cross these three signs; hence the name Sadesati.

Everyone goes through Sadesati sooner or later, for most people it's at least twice, or thrice. It is said that while Sadesati lasts, you will have little peace. But don't think that just because you are running Sadesati your life will be destroyed. That's not the case. Many people continue being successful even while they are in Sadesati.

A lot depends on the overall auspiciousness of your chart, the placement of other planets and your own efforts. You can also perform remedies to lessen the inauspicious effect of Shani Sade sati.

You will be under the influence of Shani Sadesati between:

Phase 1 (in 12th Sign)

During this period Saturn transits through the 12th sign, or sign before your Birth Rashi. This is the beginning of the 7.5 years challenge.

This may become a challenging time for your entire family. You will be under pressure and may feel anxious about your future due to unforeseen problems. You will feel that trouble is seeking you out and that you get into problems even though you make a serious effort to avoid them. The elders in your family too might have some problems. The problems might be in form of health challenges or financial trouble.

Since this is the beginning of the Sadesati, you can't afford to lose courage now. If you become depressed in this period all will be lost. Remember this about Saturn, every crisis that it sends your way is an opportunity wrapped inside a lot of trouble. Saturn loves those who love challenges. Work agains the tide and you will get ashore. Do not leave any stone unturned to beat your problems. Your efforts will be your salvation.

Phase 2 (In Moonsign)

During this period Saturn will pass through the Moonsign in which you were born. This is also called Janma-Shani. This is considered the most testing phase of Sadesati. Survive this, and you've overcome the worst that Saturn can throw your way.

During this period you may feel intense pressure. You might feel caged, or repressed and just aching to break free and escape. There will be problems in the professional front. Maybe even a job change! In the domestic front too there will be fresh challenges to face. Your relationships with your family will take a beating, and you will be working overtime to maintain the cordiality and love that you've always enjoyed. Pay special attention to your mother and the elder women in your family.

On the emotional and psychological front you may feel as if you are in a daze. Your thinking will be hazy and you will have problems taking decisions. Don't be overcome by this. You may also feel fear for no apparent reason. Try to be as clear in your thought as you can be, and take every action after thinking it through. Logic and rationality will be your strength during these 2.5 years. Don't let them leave your side.

With strong determination and sustained effort you can beat this period just like you beat the last one.

Phase 3 (Next Sign To Moon's)

This is the last part of the Sadesati and Saturn is almost out of ammunition. By now you might be feeling a little bitter. 5 years of continued challenges can do that to a human being. It's time to be retrospective and think about all the positive things in your life, and think about all the good people in your life. Don't let your humanity and empathy die.

Your enemies might be a little extra active during this time, so don't be careless. Try not to give an opportunity to others to hurt you. Work to maintain a cordial relationship with your bosses and the administration. Show everybody that you still have the old charm and enthusiasm and can make things happen.
You might feel a little financial pressure right now, but nothing that you haven't dealt with in the 5 years earlier. Keep a check on your expenses and try to build some savings for sudden expenses.

This is the last phase of the Sadesati and it is said that when Saturn goes out of the Sadesati, rewards follow for the deserving. Many of your investments and efforts that didn't fructify while the Sadesati lasted may all bear fruit in a sudden heap when the Sadesati ends. So remember not to stop making your best efforts during the sadesati.
