Sade Sati Calculator & Dates

Enter your birth date, time and city. The engine calculates the Moon's exact degree and sign using Lahiri ayanamsa, identifies your chandra rashi, and cross-references Saturn's current and projected transit positions. The output shows your sade sati phase (if applicable), the date each phase began and is projected to end, and which moon signs are affected in 2026. Moon time accuracy is usually not critical — the Moon's sign is stable for ~2.5 days.

Saturn's transitions between signs are not sharp events — they spread across several months of approaching and departing energy. Knowing the exact date Saturn changes sign lets you anticipate the phase shift and prepare: the 'approaching' energy in the final 2–3 months before transition is often stronger than the entry date implies. The premium report maps these approach windows.

Moon sign is usually stable across several hours (the Moon moves about 13° per day, changing sign every ~2.5 days). In most cases your date of birth alone determines your moon sign accurately — and therefore whether sade sati applies. If the Moon was very close to a sign boundary at your birth, entering the exact time and city ensures the correct sign. The calculator shows if your birth falls in a boundary window.

Kumbha rashi's sade sati ends when Saturn fully exits Meena and enters Mesha (projected late 2027). For Meena rashi, the peak phase continues until Saturn enters Mesha — at which point Meena begins the final phase. For Mesha rashi, the first phase is just beginning with Saturn in Meena; the peak phase will arrive when Saturn enters Mesha itself.
