About Shani Sadesati
Saturn (Shani) takes about 29.5 years to circle the zodiac, spending roughly 2.5 years in each sign. Sadesati ("seven and a half") is the period when Saturn passes through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your natal Moon — about 7.5 years in total. It recurs roughly every 30 years, so most people experience it two to three times in a lifetime. Though known for tests and hard lessons, Sadesati is ultimately a period of maturity, discipline and lasting growth. Dates here are approximate (computed from Saturn\'s sidereal sign ingress).
