Saturn transit is the slowest and most impactful. When Saturn transits the 12th, 1st, and 2nd from Moon sign, it is called Sade Sati (7.5 years of Saturn). When it transits the 4th or 8th from Moon, it is called Dhaiyya (2.5-year challenge). Saturn transit brings discipline, delays, hard work, and karmic lessons.

FAQ
Q.What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the 7.5-year period when Saturn transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from your Moon sign (2.5 years each). It brings career changes, financial challenges, health issues, and emotional growth. It is the most feared transit in Vedic astrology, but it also builds character and lasting achievement.
Q.How often does Sade Sati happen?
Saturn takes about 30 years to complete one zodiac cycle. Most people experience Sade Sati 2-3 times in their lifetime. The first Sade Sati (around age 25-32) affects career establishment. The second (around age 55-62) affects health and retirement. The severity depends on Saturn's natal position.
