How Sade Sati Is Determined
Sade Sati is the 7.5-year period when Saturn (Shani) transits through 3 zodiac signs (Rashis) — the 12th, 1st, and 2nd from your natal Moon. The calculator:
- Computes your Moon Sign from your DOB using simplified ELP-2000 + Lahiri Ayanamsa
- Checks current Saturn position — Saturn is in Meena (Pisces) from March 2025 to March 2028
-
Determines phase by counting houses from your Moon:
- Saturn in 12th from Moon (one sign before) = Rising (Aroh)
- Saturn on Moon = Peak (Madhya) — most intense
- Saturn in 2nd from Moon (one sign after) = Setting (Avaroh)
