The name ‘Sadesati’ sends a chill in the spine of a common man. Most of them take it as a dreadful occurrence and ignore the good qualities of Saturn. Apart from seven and half years transit of Saturn i.e. Sadesati, the Transit of Saturn over the 4th house from the radical Moon i.e. Ardhashtama Shani and over the 8th house from the radical Moon i.e. Asthama Shani are also considered bad. The native born under the above mentioned disposition of Saturn with reference to Moon is likely to suffer maximum during Saturn’s transit over the sensitive houses.

All the three dreadful transit positions of Saturn are dependant upon the placement of Moon in the horoscope, but what will be the exact time of occurrence of above three position is a matter of debate. I will discuss here the starting of Sadesati only and from that, occurrence of Ardhasthama Shani and Ashtama Shani may be ascertained. Most of them consider the starting point of Sadesati on Saturn’s entry into 12th house from natal Moon and its ending point with leaving the 2nd house from the natal Moon, thus comprising a cycle of 7½ years spread over the three houses. Some opine that the impact of Sadesati starts when it is 45° away, towards 12th house, from the natal Moon and it ends when Saturn passes 45° from the radical Moon. Both statements seem to be ambiguous and absurd. Since it is a known fact that the occurrence of Sadesati or alike is dependent upon the exact longitude of the Moon. Say in a horoscope Moon’s longitude is 3°10′ in sign Cancer. Now as per theory No. 1 when Saturn will enter signs Gemini the Sadesati will start and when it is leaving the sign Leo the Sadesati will end. As per theory No. 2, Saturn’s entry into a sign 45° prior its placement means when Saturn will be at 18° in sign Taurus the Sadesati will begin and when Saturn will cross 18° in sign Leo the Sadesati will end. Here arises a question that when Moon is pivotal point in deciding the occurrence and ending of sadesati, under the circumstances only Moon’s longitude should be a pivot to decide the beginning and ending of Sadesati. As we have taken Moon’s longitude as 3s3°10′ hence as and when transiting Saturn will be at 2s3°10′ it will be the beginning of Sadesati and the ending point should be 5s3°10′ will reference to transiting Saturn. This method of calculating Sadesati etc coincides with equal house division as being adopted.
