Namaskar all,

I am posting after a long time on the forum.

Actually I was studying the Shani Sade Sati and this question came to my mind, so I thought to get the opinions of the experienced users.

We all know that Shani Sade Sati begins when Shani transits the 12th house from the natal moon in a birth chart.

Taking an example, for people with moon sign Libra, the Sade Sati started on 10/9/2009 when Shani entered Virgo at 0 degrees.

If a person is having a 10 degrees natal moon in Libra, should the Sade Sati be considered as ON for the person when Shani enters Virgo at 0 degrees or it should be considered ON when Shani reaches 10 degrees in Virgo?

I was asked this question by one of my friends and was unable to find an appropriate answer to this query.

@mods, Please redirect me and close the thread if you think this discussion is going on in any other thread.

Thanks.

Hi Fivezero7,
Actually this like alternate theory which co-exist with the main sade-satti logic.
As per general belief 3 houses(12th,1st and 2nd) from moon gives sade satti.

Few also believes that  +/- 45 degree from the position of the natal
moon gives sade-satti.

Both theories got their follower.I go with previous one.
I consider raashi for sade-satti rather than degree.
But never experiemented much with other one .

Hi Raman ji,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

It certainly clears some doubts in my mind about the two concepts.

I was going through the James Braha astrology book where he has described the Panoti Yoga according to the Shani's transit in Rashi irrespective to the degree of the natal moon.
So that's why the confusion occurred.

Anyway, how can one check if either of the concepts holds relevance?
Should the occurrences in the native's life be checked to determine which concept is accurate?

Please give your opinions.

Hi,

My experimenting was involving the two main points of sade sat. ie: the start and the end.....

Sade sati effects begin from the rasi and not in terms of degrees, is my belief.

Shani Sade Sati begins when Shani transits the 12th house from the natal moon in a birth chart. and ends when shani enters third house. This is the only thing I  ever come across about Sade sati. So if any one is proficient about the existence of the second theory  (which Raman too is  saying )  let us have clear example please. Thanks.
