Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my Sade Sati?
Select your Moon sign (Rashi) on the calculator and it instantly shows whether Shani Sade Sati is active right now, which phase you are in, and the exact start and end dates. Sade Sati is read from your Moon sign — not your Sun sign — so use your Vedic Moon sign. If you don't know it, generate a free birth chart first to find it.
When does my Sade Sati start and end?
Sade Sati begins when Saturn (Shani) enters the sign just before your natal Moon sign and ends when Saturn leaves the sign just after it — roughly a 7.5-year window. The calculator shows the precise current-period start and end dates (computed from Swiss Ephemeris for the live status), plus your full past and future Sade Sati cycles so you can plan ahead.
What are the 3 phases of Sade Sati?
Sade Sati has three phases of about 2.5 years each. The Rising phase begins when Saturn transits the 12th sign from your Moon (endings, expenses, letting go). The Peak phase is Saturn over your Moon sign itself (the most demanding, focused on the mind, health, and core identity). The Setting (Leaving) phase is Saturn in the 2nd sign from your Moon (rebuilding finances, family, and speech). The calculator marks which phase is active today.
Is Sade Sati always bad?
No. Sade Sati is a period of discipline, maturity, and karmic accounting rather than guaranteed misfortune. For many people it brings hard-earned growth, responsibility, and lasting structure. Its actual effect depends on Saturn's strength and placement in your own chart and on the house it transits from your Moon. Steady effort, patience, and traditional Shani remedies (Saturday observances, charity, the Shani mantra) are the classical way to work with it.
How is Sade Sati calculated?
Sade Sati is calculated from the sidereal (Lahiri) position of transiting Saturn relative to your natal Moon sign. When Saturn occupies the 12th, 1st, or 2nd sign counted from your Moon, Sade Sati is active. This tool computes Saturn's sidereal sign and your Moon-sign-relative house, then derives the phase and dates — the live current status uses precise Swiss Ephemeris instants.
