What are the Myths & Facts related to Sade Sati?
People automatically assume that Sade Sati is a period of bad events happening one-after the another, just an extremely bad phase of delays, disturbances, losses and so on. But this is not the entire story. Sade Sati affects people by factoring in a lot of things.
- If Saturn is a ‘yoga karaka’ (a planet that confers fame, honor, dignity, financial prosperity, political success, & reputation) in your birth chart, it gives positive results such as promotions, recognitions, a hike in salary and other professional or academic laurels. A yoga karaka planet is one which is not blemished by evil effects of any negative aspects in the chart and positioned in certain houses to create a positivity in your life. Saturn should not be combust, debilitated, retrograde or associated with malefic aspects or placed in wrong houses.
- Its results are amplified during Mahadasha-Antardasha period. Although it is active throughout the period of 7.5 years in your life, its effects get felt more prominently during the antardasha/ mahadasha/pratyantar dasha periods, or the periods of Saturn when it behaves in full force.
- It gives you results as per your karma or doings. If you do something bad to someone you get it back 7.5 times, if you conduct something bad during these periods, it is kept a track of and gets paid off 7.5 times when you least expect it. So, only those who have a negative birth chart or are afraid of their own actions should be afraid of Sade Sati.
- Saturn is a strict planet. It behaves like a strict, unforgiving teacher. It will never give you an award for being lazy. Unless you lose years of sleep over hard work and use your mind, words, and thoughts effectively and righteously, you will not receive the fruits. However, if you try to act smart, you should remember that Saturn is a planet which patiently waits and watches. When it’s done with watching, it acts. And it acts in the hardest way possible amongst all planets. It is the planet which made Ravana lose a war against lord Rama. It is also the planet which gave nations its biggest presidents and prime ministers during their Sade Sati period.
- Saturn’s job, therefore, is not to punish you, but give you what you ‘deserve’ and take away what you don’t - when the time comes.
- These have adverse effects on those signs which are ruled by the Sun as Sun and Saturn are inimical to each other. It also has bad effects during Moon’s dasha since Moon is poisoned by Saturn which is a malefic. The results in both of these can look like - issues in professional life, troubles in health or health of family members, problems within family due to lack of peace, issues from enemies, and a generally tensed environment. Especially, if the Moon falls in a sign that is ruled by Sun and has the Antardasha of Saturn, these results get more pronounced.
- It also makes you prone to negative or evil eye. But Saturn spares no one and it gives each as per their deed, and no remedy easily works on it.
Sade Sati for Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, which shares a neutral bond with Saturn. The results of Sade Sati for Sagittarius remains average. Both these planets represent justice and equality, but you need to remember that Saturn wants you to do things in a disciplined way.
- Though it is good to help others, too much involvement could backfire too. You should stay away from litigation and allegations. The thing about Sade Sati is that Saturn is aware of your intentions behind every action whether good or bad, irrespective of how you justify it to yourself and to others. If the intention of ‘recognition’ lies behind any deed done, the result will backfire in humiliation. If you have wronged anyone, you will be deprived of the same joy 7.5 times. No justification works in front of Saturn, just the way no excuses work in front of a strict and righteous teacher.
- During the Saturn (Shani) Sade Sati period, you should not indulge in any sort of dispute or argument. Saturn wants you to limit your curiosity to get involved in anything and everything.
- You would also want to lead in some way or the other, but remember that there is a difference between leading and dominating. Sagittarius fire has to work together with airy Saturn here, just like a hot-air balloon, where fire fills the balloon with hot air that takes it off the ground.
- You need to maintain a balance, else, the air-fire combination can be explosive too.
