Frequently asked questions

What is Shani Dhaiya?

Dhaiya is a shorter Saturn influence of about two and a half years, separate from full Sade Sati. It runs when Saturn transits the 4th sign (Kantaka Shani) or the 8th sign (Ashtama Shani) from your natal Moon.

How is Dhaiya different from Sade Sati?

Sade Sati lasts about seven and a half years while Saturn crosses the 12th, 1st and 2nd from the Moon. Dhaiya is a shorter, roughly two-and-a-half-year period from the 4th or 8th. Think of Dhaiya as Sade Sati in miniature.

Which rashi is my Dhaiya on?

Enter your date, time and place of birth. The calculator finds your Moon rashi and checks where Saturn is transiting from it, so it can tell you whether Kantaka or Ashtama Shani is running.

Is the Shani Dhaiya calculator free?

Yes. Your Dhaiya status, type and dates are free with no sign-up. We do not store your birth details with the result.
