Frequently asked questions
What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half year period when Saturn (Shani) transits the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your natal Moon. It unfolds in three phases — rising, peak and setting — each lasting about two and a half years.
How do I know if my Sade Sati is running?
It depends on where Saturn is transiting relative to your Moon sign. Enter your birth details above and the calculator checks Saturn's current position against your Moon to tell you your status and phase.
What is Dhaiya or small panoti?
Dhaiya (small panoti) is a two-and-a-half year Saturn transit through the 4th (Kantaka Shani) or 8th (Ashtama Shani) sign from your Moon. It is separate from Sade Sati and this tool flags it too.
Is Sade Sati always bad?
No. Traditionally it is a period of discipline, responsibility and maturing, and its effect depends on the whole chart. This is guidance for reflection, not a prediction of misfortune.
