Is Cancer in Sade Sati right now?

No. Cancer is not in Sade Sati at the moment. The next period begins on 31 May 2032.

When will Sade Sati end for Cancer?

Do I need my birth time for this?

No. Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign (rashi), not on your birth time or place. If you do not know your Moon sign, a free kundali will give it to you — but the dates on this page are complete on their own.

What is Dhaiya, and is it the same thing?

No. Dhaiya (often called the small panoti) is Saturn transiting the 4th or 8th sign from your Moon, and it lasts about two and a half years rather than seven and a half. It is listed separately on this page when it applies.

Sade Sati for Cancer (Karka)

Cancer is not in Sade Sati right now. The next one begins 31 May 2032.

The three phases, with dates

First phase (rising)

31 May 2032 to 13 July 2034 (about 2 years and 2 months)

Saturn is in the 12th sign from your Moon. Classically this phase is read as expenditure, sleep disruption and quiet endings — the period of letting go of what will not travel with you.

Second phase (peak)

13 July 2034 to 27 August 2036 (about 2 years and 1 month)

Saturn is over your Moon sign itself. Traditionally the heaviest stretch, read as pressure on mood, health and the body clock — and, in the same texts, the period that consolidates whatever you build through it.

Third phase (setting)

27 August 2036 to 22 October 2038 (about 2 years and 2 months)

Saturn is in the 2nd sign from your Moon. Classically associated with family, speech and finances — the departing phase, where the weight starts lifting but the accounts still get settled.

What Sade Sati actually is

Sade Sati is the stretch when Saturn transits the three signs centred on your natal Moon: the 12th, then your own rashi, then the 2nd. Saturn takes roughly two and a half years per sign, which is where the seven-and-a-half-year figure comes from — but the real boundaries are the dates Saturn actually changes sign, which is what the table above shows for Karka.

Classical texts read Sade Sati as a period of pressure, responsibility and slow consolidation rather than as a verdict. Nothing on this page is a prediction about your life, and no reputable jyotishi reads a transit without the rest of the chart.

For the longer explanation — the mythology, the remedies people are usually sold, and what the texts do and do not claim — read what Sade Sati actually is.

Do not know your Moon sign?

Sade Sati follows the Moon sign, not the Sun sign most horoscopes use. A free kundali gives you yours in a few seconds.
