Sade Sati, Dhaiya and Shani Dosha

Saturn (Shani) takes roughly two and a half years to pass through each zodiac sign. Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn transits the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign and the sign after. Dhaiya (also called Panoti) is the two-and-a-half-year period when Saturn is in the 4th or 8th sign from your Moon sign. This page also covers general Shani dosha and Saturn analysis.
