Sade Sati is a seven-and-a-half-year astrological period associated with Saturn’s (Shani's) transit around an individual's Moon sign. Known for bringing challenges, it’s seen as a karmic phase that tests patience, resilience, and discipline. Sade Sati occurs in three phases: Rising, Peak, and Setting, each affecting different life areas. While often intense, it’s believed to encourage personal growth and spiritual maturity. People commonly perform rituals to honor Shani Dev during this time, seeking strength and guidance.
