The Mathematics Of Sade Sati And Dhaiya

Saturn stays in one sign for nearly 30 months. When Saturn moves through the sign before birth sign, the birth sign itself, and the sign after it, the combined seven-and-a-half-year cycle is called Sade Sati. When Saturn occupies the fourth or eighth position from the birth sign, it creates Dhaiya, another sensitive karmic phase.
