Sade Sati Is Counted from the Moon's Rashi

Sade Sati is counted from the Moon's rashi, so a writeup for each Sun sign describes the wrong point. Saturn transits the sign twelfth from the natal Moon, then the Moon's own sign, then the second sign from the Moon. If the Moon is in Karka, those signs are Mithuna, Karka, and Simha. They are not a fate for Cancer Sun people. A Cancer Sun can have the Moon in any of the twelve rashis. Until the Moon is known, Saturn's current sign cannot be called the rising, middle, or setting phase.

The three signs are astronomy. The houses are personal. Mithuna, Karka, and Simha might be the 10th, 11th, and 12th for a Virgo lagna, or a completely different trio for a Taurus lagna. That is why two people with the Moon in Cancer feel Sade Sati in different rooms of life. One meets it in career, another in the 4th house of home. Publishing one paragraph per solar sign erases the lagna. Read the transit sign, note which whole-sign house it occupies, and read the lord of that house.

The phase on the janma rashi presses name, body, and mood because the Moon is the mind. The phase on the 12th from the Moon leans toward expense, sleep, and endings. The phase on the 2nd from the Moon leans toward family, speech, and money. None of these is a permanent type, and none is assigned to Leo or Pisces as brands. Natal Saturn still modifies the transit. A Saturn exalted in Libra carries the same three signs differently from a Saturn debilitated in Aries. After the Moon sign is fixed, stop. Do not invent a twelfth personality to fill a list.
