SADE-SATI-----THE DREADED SATURN’S TRANSIT

Saturn/Shani takes around 30 years to complete one revolution of the zodiac. It stays in each sign for around 2.5 years.
Significant decisions are often made during Saturn's hard transits to our personal planets. Although Saturn transits can make life feel like drudgery as advancements are slow to see, they also give us the opportunity to gain inner strength, to become more responsible for what we do in our lives. Saturn/ Shani transits are viewed with great interest and sometimes an element of trepidation. Saturn will be leaving Libra/ Tula Rashi and entering Scorpio/ Vrishchika Rashi on November 2, 2014.  Depending where in our chart Saturn is placed, changes or stress will be felt in coming 2 ½ years. Sadesati is a period of 7.5 years and is the period of change. Old things come to an end and a new beginning starts, kind of universe restructure.

Sade-sati is the period of Saturn’s transit through 12^th, 1^st and 2^nd house from the house in which planet Moon is posited at the time of birth. Saturn remains in one zodiac sign for about 2 ½ years.

Sade-sati includes 3 cycles of 2 ½ years each. In first cycle i.e. when Saturn transits 12^th house from the natal Moon it is said to be transiting the eyes or the head of the person. During this phase a person and his parents may have to face lot of mental problems. In the second cycle i.e. Saturn’s transit over the natal Moon it is said to be transiting through the heart of the person. Worries, stress or problems because of maybe setbacks, in personal or professional life during the second phase is a possibility. In the third cycle when Saturn is transiting through the second house from the natal Moon it is said to be passing through the legs of the person. He runs around for solving his problems. Sade-sati is less dreadful for people whose rashi/Ascendant is Taurus, Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius. Saturn is yogakaraka (beneficial) for Taurus and Libra whereas for Capricorn and Aquarius it is the Saturn’s own sign. For those who are born under Taurus, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius Sade-sati is not adverse.

But sometime it has been observed that during the Sade-sati an individual gains lot of wealth (blessings of God kubera) and power too, as was the case with late PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi who became PM when she was running Sade-sati, of course not to forget that she also lost her father in this phase.

Depending upon which house Saturn is transiting likewise the results are observed. Sade-sati may give you mental problems and the reason could be dispute over property, career setback, litigation or marital discord. The nature of problem depends upon the house it is transiting over and the planet it is transiting over. Mainly it gives tensions and it is said that when Sade-sati is about to end it gives good monetary gains for enduring this testing phase of life with perseverance and good karma. Good karma is the key and is the best remedy.

According to the laws of spirituality,  there is a precise balance that exists in each person’s life.  Each of us is given measure for measure  what we need to grow in a way that is unique for our soul.  We all have advantages and disadvantages,  but we also have exactly what we need for our specific journey.
