Sade Sati, Ashtama and Kantaka Shani

Sade Sati is Saturn’s seven and a half years through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your Moon: rising, peak and setting. Ashtama Shani is Saturn in the 8th from the Moon and Kantaka (or Ardhashtama) Shani in the 4th; North Indian tradition calls these two Shani dhaiya. All are times tradition associates with hard work, delays and maturing.

These are read from the Moon sign. Whether you feel a period strongly depends on your own chart and dasha; the Sade Sati calculator uses your birth details.
