Sade Sati calculator
Check whether Saturn is transiting the 12th, 1st or 2nd from your natal Moon right now — which phase of Sade Sati you're in, plus Shani Dhaiya. No sign-up needed.
Understanding Sade Sati
Sade Sati is Saturn's 7½-year passage around your natal Moon — the planet of discipline meeting the planet of the mind. It tends to coincide with hard work, added responsibility and a stripping-away of what isn't built to last.
It is demanding, but rarely the catastrophe folklore makes it. Its texture depends on Saturn's dignity, the houses it rules in your chart, and the phase you're in. Handled consciously, Sade Sati is one of the most maturing periods of a life.
Frequently asked questions
What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the roughly 7½-year period when Saturn transits the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your natal Moon. It is Saturn’s most personal passage and is felt as a time of pressure, responsibility and maturing.
How do I know if I am in Sade Sati?
Enter your birth details and this tool checks where Saturn is transiting right now relative to your Moon sign. If Saturn is in the 12th, 1st or 2nd from your Moon, you are in Sade Sati — and it tells you which phase.
What are the three phases of Sade Sati?
Rising (Saturn in the 12th from the Moon), peak (Saturn over the Moon), and setting (Saturn in the 2nd from the Moon). Each lasts about two and a half years and asks something different of you.
What is Shani Dhaiya?
Dhaiya (or Ardha-Sade-Sati) is the 2½-year period when Saturn transits the 4th or 8th from your Moon — a shorter Saturn test that this tool also flags.
