About Saturn's Sadesati

Sade Sati is a transition phenomenon of Saturn (Shani). When Saturn or Shani transit through twelfth, first and second house from the natal moon of birth chart, the period is termed as Sade Sati. Saturn takes two and half years to transit from one house to another house (hence is called Dhaiya meaning 2 1/2 years) so the transit of Saturn or Shani through these three houses takes seven and half years which is a literal meaning of Shani Sade Sati.
