Sade Sati Remedies While Saturn Crosses Three Signs
Sade Sati remedies are Saturday disciplines kept while Saturn transits three signs from the natal Moon: the 12th, the Moon's own sign, and the 2nd. Service, restraint, and sesame are the ordinary set. The transit ends when Saturn leaves the 2nd, not when the fast feels complete.

Match the remedy to the phase you are in
The first phase is approach, Saturn in the 12th from the Moon. The middle phase is Saturn on the Moon, usually the heaviest. The third is Saturn in the 2nd, often cost and family duty. A single fear for all seven and a half years ignores the phase. Saturday is correct in all three because the graha is Saturn throughout. If Saturn mahadasha is also running, the fast has two reasons. If Venus mahadasha is running, the fast is only for the transit, and Friday still belongs to the decade's lord.
Do not remedy a yogakaraka as an enemy
Taurus lagna and Libra lagna have Saturn as yogakaraka, ruling a kendra and a trikona. Sade Sati is still heavy, because it is on the Moon, and the natal Saturn is still a benefit by lordship. The remedy is endurance and clean Saturday conduct, not a rite meant to weaken Saturn, and not blue sapphire bought in a panic. The stone is a separate class and is not prescribed here. Charity and showing up for work fit a Saturn transit better than an attempt to switch Saturn off.
The Moon sign is the whole calendar
Twelve Chandra rashis are not in Sade Sati together. A date you saw for one sign is the wrong date for the next. This page prints no ingress. Look up Saturn's sign against your Moon. When Saturn enters the third sign past the Moon, the cycle of this Sade Sati is over. The next return is decades later, because Saturn takes about thirty years to circle. Natal Saturn remains. Only the transit ends. Keep the fast for the transit you are actually in, then stop.
