Life has its highs, and its lows, and for the most part, people think that the most challenging stages are fated. As per the Vedas, one of the major difficult phases is known as Sade Sati in Vedic astrology. It is a Saturnian phase that lasts for 7 ½ years that many dread due to the. Length contraction period of seven and a half years predominantly governed by Saturn. 


But what is Sade Sati and why does it have such heavy influence over our lives? Well, it’s time to figure out what is behind this astrological phenomenon then.


What Is Sade Sati?


The term Sade Sati actually has its roots in Sanskrit; ‘Sade’ stands for half and ‘Sati ‘stands for seven. It involves the seven and half year duration during which Saturn (Shani) passes through the zodiac signs before, during and after your moon sign. The energy of this period starts when Saturn transits through the 12th house from the moon sign and continues when Saturn is transiting through the moon sign and ends when Saturn moves out of the second house.


How Does Sade Sati Work?


Saturn is also referred to as the taskmaster of space. Its energy is one of discipline, patience and reaping what you sow. Sade Sati is a phase where Saturn drags people to their knees and forces you to deal with things you never even dreamed of. This phase is not always easy, but it is a phase of change, growth and self discovery.


Here’s how the Sade Sati phase unfolds:


First Phase (12th House Transit): This is the Nine of Swords, the preparatory stage where challenges tend to be related to loss – financial, or emotional, or spiritual. It’s a time of introspection.


Second Phase (Moon Sign Transit): This is seen as the worst stage though in truth it is the degree of fluctuation in emotions and possibly health and major life changes occur during this age.


Third Phase (2nd House Transit): As Saturn transits out of the moon sign, all that has been learnt from the previous phase is realized in real world results.

Effects of Sade Sati and its influence 


Sade Sati is known as the ‘seven worst years’ because this period brings lots of troubles to people’s lives. Common challenges include:


Financial Struggles: This is usually the most expensive time since experiencing sudden expenses, job loss or debts.


Relationship Issues: There are sure to be times when miscommunication happens or situations occur when people end up in disagreement or even conflict that can strain rela­tionships.


Health Problems: It is also important that chronic diseases, exhaustion and disorders caused by stress may prevail in this period.


Mental and Emotional Turmoil: As Saturn makes you face your inner enemies, depression, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt are the usual feelings.


However, the degree of such problems differs depending on the positions of the nodes of the Moon and the placement of Saturn in the horoscope.


Learning During Sade Sati


While Sade Sati is considered the worst and which everyone dreads, in reality Saturn for changes and it's only here to transform. The challenges of this phase are the making of success and hard work, patience and discipline. Here are some ways you can grow during this time:


Self-Discipline: Saturn insists on self-organization and thus attracts all those who need to learn to exercise properly.


Karmic Cleansing: Such sins come to the fore, which allow you to fix them and make more positive karmic connections.


Inner Strength: Sustaining a challenge also helps in developing strong mental and emotional defense.


Remedies for Sade Sati

While you can’t avoid Sade Sati, certain remedies in Vedic astrology may mitigate its effects:


Chanting Mantras: Bathe in the morning and then, Meditate with ritual and pray the “Shani Mantra” or pray the “Hanuman Chalisa”.

Charity: Make gifts related to the Saturn sign such as assisting the elderly or the needy.

Wearing Gemstones: But, it is said that Blue Sapphire (Neelam) may help but only when an astrologer suggests it.

Fasting: Fasts should often be taken on Saturdays so as to protect the health from Saturn’s influence.


Conclusion

Sade Sati might be felt as a storm but it is a controlled storm which brings new light to the existence of people. Knowing the importance of them, assists you in overcoming those difficulties with flexibility and strength. Though it without doubts can be mentioned as the period of tests, the same time can also be characterized as the period of transformation and karmic payback.
