How The Sade Sati Dates Are Made · When Does Sade Sati Start and End?
When Saturn is in the 12th house from the Moon sign it is the first phase, in the same sign the second, and in the next sign the third. All three together are about seven and a half years.
Phaladeepika reads transit from the Moon sign and calls 3, 6, 11 the favourable houses for Saturn. Source: Phaladeepika, chapter 26, verse 1
Saturn can go retrograde and return to the previous sign, so the dates of one phase can go to and fro in between. Example: Saturn enters Aries on 3 June 2027, returns to Pisces on 20 October 2027, then enters Aries on 24 February 2028.
Saturn takes about 29.5 years for one round, which is why Sade Sati comes 2 to 3 times in 80 years of a life.
Its effect is not held the same for everyone. The position of Saturn in the chart and the dasha make a big difference.
