Sade Sati is the 7.5 years long period of Saturn transit. The period of Sade sati starts when Saturn enters one sign before the birth moon sign of the individual and it ends when it crossed one sign after birth moon sign.

So Sade sati is the period which Saturn takes to cross 3 signs(i.e. the birth moon sign, the sign before and the sign after it). Saturn spends around 2.5 years in each sign. To cross three signs it takes about 7.5 years. Thus the name Sadesati which literally means seven and a half.

Every human being has to go through Shani Sade Sati at least three times in his/her entire life. Sometimes it can happen even four times but this is an exception and rarely happens in one's horoscope. At what age will Sade Sati happen, it depends on the horoscope of the particular person. Sade sati again starts after 30 years from the date of previous start. Sade Sati period is associated with difficulties and challenges but it gives positive and good results as well and it depends on individual's horoscope.
