Introduction

The Planet Saturn (Shani) makes a complete round of the zodiac in about 30 years.
There being 12 segments of the zodiac, it remains in each segment or House for about 2
years and 6 months. According to Vedic Astrology, when Saturn in transit moves over
the House occupied by Moon, it generally displays the characteristics of an enemy. There
are ofcourse some exceptions. It is interesting to note that this seemingly negative
impact of Saturn, on the Moon in the Birth Chart, starts to take effect when Saturn in
transit enters the House before the House of the natal Moon and continues its effect till
it remains in the House after the House of the natal Moon.

This in effect means that the effect of Saturn's Transit will be felt by a person through its
journey over three houses, each of a duration of 2 years and 6 months (as explained
above) - hence a total of 7 Years and 6 months. This complete period of Saturn's transit
is known as the 'Sade Sati' or seven and a half while each of the three legs of its transit
over the three houses in question is known as 'Dhaiya' or two and an half.

The Houses that Matter for You

In your case these three critical houses are:

House No. Occupant(s)

IX Moon, Venus

VIII None

X Sun, Mercury

What happens during this 7½ year period

Vedic astrology considers this transit of Saturn across the chart as the most significant
and eventful transit of Saturn in our life.

Normally one experiences at least 2 Sade Sati periods in life. Each of them in spaced out
by approximately 30 years. This transit is also called, Elerata in western astrology. Many
fear this 7½ year period. However, all planets have a purpose in the cosmic drama and
Saturn is the planet of responsibility and focus.

For most people, failure to comprehend and focus on true responsibility leads to distress
and unhapiness during the 7½ year Sade Sati period. However, it must be noted that in
the cosmic drama, Saturn does test and at times punish but then again not so for
everyone. There are a lucky few for whom the period of Saturn can prove to be
auspicious as well.

For most, these 7½ year periods are marked by loss of domestic bliss, stressed
relationships and spells of cash crunches. In extreme cases it may lead to loss of job
and/ or loss of near and dear ones. In essence, a rather stressful 7½ period.

People who are aware of their duties and responsibilities and take action to fulfil them in
time do not suffer as much during this 7-½ year cycle of Saturn. The actual impact in
specific cases will depend on the position, status and strength of Saturn in our individual
natal chart as well as what planetary periods we are experiencing as per our natal chart
during this 7-½ year cycle.
