📖 What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati (साढ़े साती) literally means "seven and a half" — it is the 7.5-year period when Saturn (Shani) transits through the 12th sign from your Moon sign, then your Moon sign, and then the 2nd sign from your Moon sign. Each phase lasts ~2.5 years. This is one of the most significant and discussed transits in Vedic astrology, associated with challenges, karmic clearing, and ultimately deep transformation and wisdom.
Dhaiya (Kantaka Shani) is Saturn's 2.5-year transit over the 4th or 8th from your Moon — a shorter but still significant period requiring awareness.
