Conclusions
Saturn balances our karma, makes us pay off karmic debts through difficulties, losses, illnesses. When Saturn transits in the 12th, 1st or 2nd house from the position of the Moon in the natal chart, this period is called Sade Sati. Translated, Sadhe-Sati name means “seven and a half”, which in turn is an indication that it takes Saturn seven and a half years to pass this transit. It is, of course, impossible to avoid or cancel this transit. Each person goes through such a period at least once in his life, and most often two or even three times since this cycle repeats every 30 years.
