Sade Sati for Capricorn (Makara)
Sade Sati is Saturn's transit through the three signs centred on your Moon sign. Here is what it means for Capricorn (Makara rashi), and how the timing works.
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.
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.
Frequently asked
- Is Capricorn in Sade Sati right now?
- Sade Sati depends only on where Saturn is relative to your Moon sign — Saturn transiting the 12th, then Makara itself, then the 2nd. It runs about seven and a half years in total.
- When will Sade Sati end for Capricorn?
- Sade Sati ends when Saturn leaves the 2nd sign from Makara. Each of the three phases lasts as long as Saturn stays in that sign, which is about two and a half years.
- 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 other rashis
Phase boundaries are computed from Saturn's sidereal position (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa) and shown in IST. The three-phase structure and the readings above are classical convention, not measurements. Soul Yatri does not offer predictions about health, litigation or death.
