Astrological Importance and Interpretations: Shani Sade Sati

Due to the proficiency of Indian Astrologers, Shani deva or Saturn is a much known name in every corner of the world. Western psychics and astrologers use Saturn a lot in their prophecies and predictions. Saturn is also used to mint money by many astrologers worldwide. Some do it and some don’t do it.

It is said that when Saturn comes to the house before the house in which moon is posited at the time of birth and transits till the next house from the birth moon, this whole period is called sade sati. This is a period of 7.5 years because as I told you that Saturn takes 2.5 years in passing from one sign to another.

A person can have a maximum of two sade sati’s in his life, very rarely one gets to have the third sade sati because it will be the 90th year for Saturn to come to that starting point again and nowadays though life expectancy has risen dramatically due to modern age science, still it is rare to see the third sade sati.

It is a planet with a very large size and moves very slowly. It takes around 2.5 years for Saturn to complete a transit in one sign and almost thirty years to complete the cycle. One can understand the impact which it must be giving to a native in its transit. Saturn is supposed to be the giver of Justice, our deeds whether they are good or bad, it is in the hands of Saturn only about how to give the fruits of those in the next birth. This is the importance attached with this planet.
