Sade Sati
శని సాడే సాతి
Sanskrit: साढ़े साती · Category: Dosha
Quick Definition
Saturn's 7.5-year transit over the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from natal Moon.
Detailed Explanation
Sade Sati has 3 phases of 2.5 years each — Rising (12th house from Moon = mind/expenditure), Peak (1st = self), Setting (2nd = wealth/family). Often misunderstood as universally negative — actually causes growth through challenges and is essential for spiritual evolution. Pariharas include Shani worship + Shani Sthotra + Hanuman Chalisa.
