Shani Sade Sati is a term used in Vedic Astrology to refer to the seven and a half years cycle of Saturn (or Shani). This cycle starts when Saturn enters the sign one before a person’s Moon sign, and lasts until it passes through the Moon sign and enters the following sign.
For example, on 17th January 2023 Saturn entered Aquarius sign to begin the ‘Shani Sade Sati’ for Pisces Moon sign people. At the same time, it denotes the end of ‘Shani Saade Sati’ for Sagittarius Moon sign natives.

What is ‘Shani Sade Sati’?:
Saturn is the planet of ultimate justice and is the slowest-moving planet of our cosmic council of celestial bodies. It spends two and a half years in a sign of 30 degrees. So, it takes Saturn seven and a half years to cross three signs, one sign prior to the Moon sign of a person.
The Moon sign itself and the very next sign to the Moon sign. During this phase of time Saturn puts us through hardships to purify our ‘Karma’ and reconcile the balance sheet of our lives.
Three Phases of ‘Shani Sade Sati’:
There are three phases of Shani Saade Sati. The first phase is currently ongoing for Pisces Moon sign people, the second phase is in effect for Aquarius Moon sign people, and the third phase is happening for Capricorn Moon sign individuals.
Shani increases the results of the house it occupies. During the first phase, Saturn occupies the twelfth house of expenditures which may lead to financial pressure and difficulties managing expenses where one has to put efforts to make both ends meet.
During the second phase, Saturn passes over the natal Moon to give mental tension and distress. During the third phase of Saturn pays back everything it took during first two phases and brings blessings.
