Sade Sati (literally "seven and a half") is a 7.5-year period when Saturn transits through three zodiac signs: the sign before your Moon sign (Rising phase), your Moon sign itself (Peak phase), and the sign after your Moon sign (Setting phase).

Saturn takes approximately 2.5 years to transit through each sign, making the total duration about 7.5 years. This period is believed to bring challenges that lead to personal growth, discipline, and spiritual development.

Common effects include: Career changes, health issues, financial challenges, family difficulties, and emotional turbulence. However, these challenges ultimately lead to maturity and wisdom.

Note: The actual impact of Sade Sati depends on Saturn's position in your birth chart, its aspects, and other planetary configurations. Consult a Vedic astrologer for personalized analysis.
