Dates are the Indian calendar dates of Saturn's sign changes. When Saturn steps back over a sign boundary during a period, the period is shown whole, from its first entry to its final exit — that is how the app and its reminders count it.

☕ How this is worked out

Houses are counted from your Moon sign (janma rasi), the sign counting as the first. Saturn in the 12th, 1st and 2nd is Sade Sati, about seven and a half years in all; in the 8th, Ashtama Sani; in the 4th, Kantaka Sani. Some traditions name these differently — one names the 8th Kantaka, and the 4th and 8th together are called Shani Dhaiya in the north — so the table gives the houses as well as the names.

Saturn's position comes from the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa (the drik method), which the app uses for Saturn and Jupiter under every panchangam system. A Vakya almanac's Sani peyarchi date is computed from different tables and can differ by weeks; Nava does not compute that one.

This page gives dates only. What a transit means for a person is a reading of their whole chart, which neither this page nor the app attempts.

Computed by the Vaakya (Traditional) engine for tithi-based days; Saturn and Jupiter from drik (Lahiri) positions.

Questions people ask

How do I know my rasi?

Your rasi here is your Moon sign at birth (janma rasi), not your Sun sign. Enter your birth details in Nava and it shows your rasi and your own Sade Sati dates.

When does Sade Sati end for my rasi?

Find your rasi in the first table: the 'Until' column is the day Saturn finally leaves the 2nd house from it. If your rasi shows none now, the second table gives when the next one starts.

Why do other websites give different Sade Sati dates?

Three common reasons: a different ayanamsa, a Vakya rather than a drik calculation, or counting Saturn's first entry only and ignoring its retrograde return. This page uses Lahiri drik positions and counts the period whole.
