As you know,
there are twelve houses in the rasi chakra. Planets (grahas) move from one
house to another in a continuous, circular motion along this rasi chakra. All
of them except the two shadow planets, Rahu and Ketu move in the clockwise
direction. Rahu and Ketu move in the anticlockwise direction. In addition to
these normal transits, there will be retrograde movements (Vakragati) also,
during which the planets move backwards for a brief period of time.
Saturn (Shani)
is the slowest among the grahas and it spends about two and a half years in
each house. Saturn takes about 30 years to complete one full rotation on the
rasi chakra. Because of its 'mandagati' (Slow speed), Saturn is also known as
Manda.
As the planets
move, they occupy various positions with respect to the Moon sign of the
native. Moon sign (Chandra Kundali or Koor) is the house in which the moon is
located in the horoscope. The grahas give good or bad results depending upon
their positions with respect to the moon sign. For example, when Shani occupies
first, second, fourth, seventh, tenth and twelfth positions, with respect to
the moon sign, it gives bad results. In other positions, it gives good results.
The predictions made, based on the relative positions of various planets with
respect to the moon sign is called the 'Gochara phalam'.
Sade sati (Panauti
or Ezhara Shani) is the period of time during which Saturn transits through a
person’s moon sign and its two adjacent signs. i.e. twelfth, first and second
houses.
For example, if
the moon sign of a person is Leo, then his Sade sati will start when the Saturn
enters the Cancer sign and will end when the Saturn leaves the Virgo
sign.
Take another
example of a person whose moon sign is Sagittarius. In this case, the Sade sati
will start when Saturn enters the Scorpio rasi and will end when it leaves the
Capricorn rasi.

Eg.2 Ezhara Shani for the natives of Dhanu (Sagittarius) Rasi
As Saturn
spends about two and a half years in each rasi, it takes about seven and a half
years to complete its transit through these three rasis. That is why, this
period is called Sade sati or Ezhara Shani.

During Sade
sati (Panauti or Ezhara Shani), Saturn will pass through
1. 12th rasi of
the moon sign
2. the moon
sign (Janma Shani) and
3. 2nd rasi of
the moon sign.
Out of these
seven and a half years, the second spell (Janma Shani) is considered to be the
most troublesome period. The next one will be the first spell. The 3rd spell -
Saturn in second rasi - is considered to be the less troublesome period among
these.
Effects of Sade
sati (Panauti or Ezhara Shani)
Generally, Sade
Sati is considered as a bad, troublesome period in a person's life. But, there
are other things also, to be considered in calculating the degree of
hardship/sufferings. The main factors to be considered are the moon sign of the
native, the undergoing Mahadasa and antardasha,
the position of Saturn (Rasi and bhava) in the horoscope and the details of
other planets aspecting Saturn.
You might have
heard a lot of frightening experiences people had, during their Sade-Sathi. But
there are also several examples of people achieving power, position and wealth
during this period.
Remember one
thing. Saturn does not punish anybody without any reason. It is a great task
master and it demands hard work and discipline. So, naturally, there will be
challenges on every front of your life like profession, family, health, finance
etc. Sade-Sathi is basically a period of repentance. Repentance for all
your past sins. During this period, things will make you sad and you start
worrying. Mental agony and helplessness are the first symptoms of Sade-Sathi.
There will be quarrels and disputes. Some of them may end up in enmity,
litigation or even confinements. Failure in business and loss of wealth can
happen. Loss of goodwill is another possibility. Accidents which may result in
hospitalisation also can happen.
Will Sade sati
(Panauti or Ezhara Shani) cause death?
There is a
possibility of death, happening during this period but again, a lot depends on
other factors especially the dasha as explained above. A person will face Sade
Sathi every thirty years in his life and the probability of it causing death
increases with each time. It is said that the first Sade-Sathi may not cause
death but the probability is higher during the second one and it is very difficult to survive the third one.
In order to
survive the third one, strong yogas which bestow longevity are required in the
horoscope.
Remedies
(Pariharam)
The best method
is to take refuge at the lotus feet of Lord Sree Dharma Sastha (Lord Ayyappa
Swami). He is ‘Kaliyuga varada’ and he will protect you from the ill effects of
Shani. Visit a Sastha temple every Saturday and offer him a Neerajanam. Visit
Sabarimala Sree Dharma Sastha Temple at least once during this period.
Performing 'Shani vritham' on Saturdays and visiting Shani temples like Tirunallar, Thirukollikadu or Shani Singhnapur also can help. Another remedy is to
take refuge at Lord Siva or Lord Anjaneya (Hanuman) Swami. This can also
effectively control the ill effects of Shani. According to certain astrologers,
praying to Lord Krishna and Goddess Mahakali will also help.
This is a
general advice and if you feel that things are really getting out of control,
you may consult a learned astrologer for help.
