Sade Sati calculator: your dates and current phase

Sade Sati is the roughly seven and a half years Saturn spends around your Moon sign. Enter your birth data to see whether it is running now, which phase it is in, and when the next one begins — together with your Kundli basics.

Your birth data

Day, month, year — e.g. 07/03/1987.

The time is needed for the Lagna. If you do not know it, choose “I do not know the time”: the Kundli uses 12:00 and leaves the Lagna out.

Start typing and choose the place from the suggestions.

Nothing you enter is saved in our database. The data stays only in this browser session, for up to two hours, so it can be carried into an account if you create one — and you can delete it at any time.

What is a Kundli?

A Kundli (Janam Kundali) is the Vedic birth chart: the sky at the moment of birth in the sidereal zodiac, read from the Lagna (rising sign) and the Moon. Jyotish pays special attention to the Moon’s nakshatra, which also sets the Vimshottari dasha periods of a life.

AstroSensus calculates it from astronomical planet positions with the Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses. The free Kundli shows the main facts; an account adds the full Vedic reading, the Navamsa, yogas and forecasts in the same system.

Questions

What is Sade Sati?

The period when Saturn passes through the 12th sign from your natal Moon, the Moon sign itself and the 2nd sign from it — about two and a half years each. It is traditionally linked with maturing, responsibility and patience.

Why do the phases overlap?

Saturn turns retrograde every year. When it steps back over a sign border, a phase starts at its first entry and ends at its final exit, so neighbouring phases can share a few months.

Do I need my exact time of birth?

Not for Sade Sati, which depends on the Moon sign. Only if the Moon changed sign on your birth day does the hour matter; the page tells you when that is the case.

Which zodiac is used?

The sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa. Saturn’s sign changes are calculated from astronomical positions, retrograde re-entries included.
