The Saturn is slowest planet and take around 29 years and 10 months to complete the whole zodiac of 12 signs. It remains in one sign around 2 ½ year. When a person go through this phase- his curiosity start – what will happen to him during this period and a number of of the native got scared of this period. The hitch is whether the whole period will remain awful or a little of the period will be fine.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE SHANI SATI
How we recognize about the Sade Sati period. It is very easy to understand. Here we have to consider moon sign. We have to look at the sign where Moon is placed in ascendant chart. When Saturn enters in twelfth house from the moon, it starts the Sade Sati on particular horoscope or a person. It can be said- when Moon in Aries sign, Sade sati will start when Saturn will enter Pisces sign. Saturn will remain in this sign for 2.5 years approximately. This is called as first Phase of Sade Sati. And it goes to Aries sign after 2.5. Years which we call second Phase of Sade Sati. Then again after 2.5 years, Saturn will enter into Taurus sign, second house from moon- which will be Third Phase of Sade sati.
So friends this is the way how Saturn enters in these three houses, twelve, first and second house from moon and makes a seven and an half year period which according to astrology we call Sade Sati period. Thus Saturn transit over the 12 th, 1st and 2nd house from Natal Moon is called Sade Sati period and gives trouble in natives’ life regarding health wealth and relation.
Out of the three phases, second phase is the most difficult one for natives as in this phase Moon is conjunct with Saturn. Saturn and Moon combination cannot be taken as good.
RESULT OF SADE SATI
Thus, the result of Sade sati depends upon the position of Saturn where it is placed. Result of Shani Sade sati is always not depressing. It depends upon the Placement/Transit of Saturn also. Shani sadesati effect may be auspicious, inauspicious or mixed depending upon whether Moon is in Saturn sign or in exalted, debilitated or in friendly sign. Sade sati will not effect to Taurus, Libra and Aquarius Sign. Saturn in Transit also gives auspicious result in 3 rd, 6 th and 11 th houses from Ascendant. When transiting of these houses, it can give monetary gains, achievement in profession, employment and freedom from diseases as well as person will be courageous and his desires will be fulfilled. On the contrary-in bad houses, it gives fears, illness and heavy expenditure. In addition to it when Saturn transiting through own signs, or sign of exaltation gives good result. Malefic result increased when the Saturn transit through debilitation or enemy sign.
SADE SATI AND ASHTAKVARGA
Sade Sati effect can be study from Ashtakvarga point of view. Ashtakvarga is the series of 7 planets from their respective radical places and from lagna in a natal chart and measurement of result is numerically explained. We calculate various points in Ashtakvarga as method gives by great sage. The benefic points are called Bindus and Melefic are called Rekhas. Bindus and Rekhas act as catalytic agents to increase or decrease the good effect of Bhavas under consideration. It is the most specific method used for transit result. Bindus are benefic points given by planets in Ashtakvarga contributed by 7 planets and Lagna. Planets give Maximum 8 bindus in his own Ashtakvarga. Similarly Rekhas are malefic points in Ashtakvarga. We calculate rekha after deducting the total bindus given by 7 planets and lagan from 8 and we get the Rekhas. E.g. The total points are 8. Saturn got 5 points then rekhas will be 3.Strength of Bindus
0 to 3 Bindus Bad result
4 Medium
5-6 good
7-8 Very good
Similarly Sarvashtakvarga is prepared for various houses . The total benefic points in a horoscope are 337. There are 12 Bhavas. Average point of each bhava is 28. Hence the Bhava which is more than average point or specified point of each Bhava will be strong and less than that is considered weak. The transit of a planet in a rashi or Bhava containing more than average bindus i.e. 28 gives good result, whereas when it is transiting through a weak rashi/bhava give adverse result. It has been observed that planets transiting in a sign with more than 30 bindus give very good results. A house is considered to be very week if there are less than 20 bindus in it. So the result related to the house will be unfavourable.
While applying Ashtakvarga principle on Sade sati- we have to look upon these essentials:
- When Saturn pass through 12th ,Ist and 2 nd house from moon have more than 30 bindus each in Sarvashtakvarga, the result of this transit would be beneficial . However, it may give problems while transit through the sign having less than 28 Bindus
- If the Bhinashtakvarga of Saturn contributed more than 4 bindus , the result of this transit cannot be bad. On the contrary- it will give bad results.
- The result would again be not bad if Saturn is transiting through own/friends house.
- See also the Nakshatra surrounding Moon. If these are beneficial, result of sadesati cannot be bad.
- Aspects of other planets should also be taken into consideration. Benefic aspects give excellent result, while malefic aspects cause evil.
REMEDIES OF SHANISADESATI
