Saade Sati is the phase when planet Shani/Saturn, enters the 12^th from the Moon Sign, Stays in the Moon Sign & in the sign next to Moon sign of the native, till it exits the second sign from the Moon sign. This whole period is a journey of 7 ½ years, as Saturn takes 2 ½ years to travel each sign, as one revolution of Shani/Saturn around the Sun takes 30 Years, so it will stay in a 30˚ slot or in one house for a period of 2^1/2 years.

In Vedic Scripts such as Puranas and Shastras, Saturn or Shani has been associated to be highly malefic, than all other malefic planets. So, Saturn’s phase of “Saade Sati” has to be related to any malefic results. Most contemporary astrologers say, that the native who is running through Saade Sati, will earn defamation, ill luck & failures in all spheres of life. The health will suffer; there will be additional expenses, which might even ruin the subject concerned, which may not always be true and this needs to be seen and analysed with respect to the functional position of Saturn in the given chart.

Another combination which has come up, is “Dhaiya”, meaning “Two & half”. This means Shani/Saturn’s position in Kendras/Angles(1,4,7,10) from Moon Sign during Transits. As I said that Saturn travels each sign of zodiac for 2 ½ years, so when Saturn occupies Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) from Moon sign, one is said to suffer from such phenomenon. Saturn’s aspects are 3,7,10 from the sign it’s placed, so if Saturn is posted in any of the Kendras, he will be either aspecting the Moon sign or be posted in the Moon sign, thus bringing distress to the native.

Saturn -Its origin & the fright created as per Scripts

Some instances from Scripts :-

It is said that once, Samjgya, wife of Sun, could not bear the fierce rays of Sun & so she turned herself into Shadow (Chaaya). Sun, knowingly, mated with her & gave birth to a dark coloured son. As soon as he was born, Sun went into eclipse. When Sun was reported about the birth of his Son, considered him to be illegitimate & didn’t accept him as his son.

Saturn is lord of basal things & metals in this world. All these scriptural references and many other such references have created a “BAD” impression about Saturn/ Shani which actually is not the case.

Prediction of Events : Dasha Results & Transits

Never has any astrologer said that the results of Transits have to supersede the Dasha results. Rather, the Transits are given lesser importance for predicting events. Not only that, the transit of a single planet should never be judged alone, but other relevant details must be kept in mind before coming into a conclusion.

It is known to all, that during Transit (Gochara), the odd results due to Transit of any planet will minimise if there is Chandra Shuddhi. Rather, one will say that good results will be felt due to that transit. In the Ancient Classics, it is said, that since the Transits give results according to the Moon sign of the native, so if the Moon during the Transit is beneficial for the native, then definitely, the good results will be felt, even if the placement is ominous.

Again, good results will be felt, if during Transits, the Natal Moon sign is aspected by a benefic. So, before coming into conclusion about Saade Sati, one should see that whether during Transits, there was Chandra Shuddhi or whether Natal Moon receives benefic aspects. If any of them clicks, then definitely, the results will be good, even if it is case of Saade Sati. Again Vedas should be seen before drawing any conclusion.

As per Ashtavarga, from Jataka Parijaata and Brihat Parashara Hora Shaastra, the results of Transits may even change.

Again, if planets are well placed in the Natal Birth Chart, then the results of transits of concerned planets will be good. Same rule gets applied for Saade Sati.

Not withstanding that, if the Lagna & Lagna Lord, 9^th house & its Lord, 10^th house & its Lord & Atmakarak are strong in Natal Chart, or creating Raj yogas, while a good Dasha is going on, then definitely, the Saade Sati, will hardly have any bad results to give.

Many practical examples can be given from which it will be quite obvious that results of Dasha-Antardasha(Bhukti) are primary, while results of Transits should be analysed properly, before drawing any conclusion.

Lord Narayan takes the form of nine planets & we experience the results of the good & bad periods through Dashas-Antardashas(Bhuktis) only, which might slightly alter due to Transits. So, “THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT SAADE-SATI RESULTS”. Take proper remedies after a thorough analysis from a good Astrologer.
