Sade Sati Explained
What Saturn's 7.5-year transit around your Moon means in Vedic astrology — phases, misconceptions, and how to read it calmly.
The three phases
Phase one: Saturn transits the sign before your Moon. Phase two: Saturn crosses your Moon sign. Phase three: Saturn enters the sign after. Each phase emphasises different life areas depending on house rulerships in your chart.
Reading it without panic
Fear-based marketing around Sade Sati is a cottage industry. Classical texts describe it as a period of maturation — not a curse. Antara presents timing and context without alarmist copy.
