Facing challenges during Sade Sati? Learn how performing Shani Puja and making key lifestyle sacrifices can bring relief. Discover the rituals, temple process, fasting rules, and remedies to appease Lord Shani.
What is Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is a 7.5-year period in Vedic astrology when Saturn (Shani) transits the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from your Moon sign. It is known for bringing karmic challenges, delays, emotional lessons, and a deep spiritual transformation.
This period can feel heavy, confusing, and slow. But if approached with surrender, structure, and sincerity — Sade Sati can become the most spiritually powerful time in your life.

Shani is not a punisher. He is the karmic teacher, ensuring that we reap the fruits of our actions and evolve beyond ego. Performing Shani Puja during Sade Sati helps in:
- Alleviating suffering caused by past karmas
- Gaining emotional stability and mental clarity
- Earning divine grace for long-term gains
