DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SADE-SATI, ASHTAMA-SANISTHA DASA, AND SANI MAHADASA

In vedic astrology there are many dictums and parameters to understand the impacts of a planet on an individual’s life as per his horoscope. A same planet with different parameters can give its impact at different time period of its activation.

Sade-sati, Ashtama-sanistha dasa, and Sani Mahadasa are three different astrological concepts in Vedic astrology, each of which is related to the planet Saturn (Sani) and it gives its impacts at different time intervals during its activation.

One need to understand that Saturn / Shani is not a cruel planet who only gives negative impacts. Since these 3 kind of results which gives due to its placement in the horoscope and as on when it gets activated, it will give results as per the significance of it in that horoscope, be it positive or negative.

Lets understand each of these concepts and their differences :

SADE-SATI :

Sade-sati is a period of seven and a half years during which Saturn (Sani) transits through the zodiac sign immediately before, the same, and immediately after the Moon sign of an individual's horoscope. This period is believed to be a challenging time in an individual's life, as Saturn is considered to be a planet of karma, restrictions, and limitations. Sade-sati occurs approximately every 29.5 years and is said to have three phases. During the first phase, Saturn transits through the sign before the Moon sign; during the second phase, it transits through the Moon sign; and during the third phase, it transits through the sign after the Moon sign. The effects of Sade-sati are believed to depend on the placement and strength of Saturn in an individual's horoscope.

ASHTAMA-SANISTHA DASA :

Ashtama-sanistha dasa is a period of eight years during which Saturn (Sani) is in the eighth house from the Moon sign in an individual's horoscope. The eighth house is traditionally considered a difficult house in Vedic astrology, associated with death, transformation, and unexpected events. Ashtama-sanistha dasa is believed to be a challenging period in an individual's life, and the effects of this dasa are said to depend on the placement and strength of Saturn in an individual's horoscope.

SANI MAHADASA :

Sani Mahadasa is a period of 19 years during which Saturn (Sani) is the primary planetary influence in an individual's horoscope. Mahadasa refers to a major period in Vedic astrology, during which the planet in question exerts its maximum influence on an individual's life. Sani Mahadasa is believed to be a challenging period in an individual's life, as Saturn is considered to be a planet of karma and restrictions. The effects of Sani Mahadasa are said to depend on the placement and strength of Saturn in an individual's horoscope, as well as the planetary influences of other planets during this period.

So the difference between Sade-sati, Ashtama-sanistha dasa, and Sani Mahadasa is that they work on different parameters or they get activated by different dictum laid down in vedic astrology and each one is independent and gives its result as per the significance of that horoscope.

For example if a native is running both Sade Sati and Shani mahadasha together then Sade Sati will give its own results and shani mahadasha will give its own results, both will give their independent results / impact and can be positive or negative as per the horoscope.

In a nutshell all three concepts - Sade-sati, Ashtama-sanistha dasa, and Sani Mahadasa - are related to the planet Saturn (Sani), they represent different periods and phases in an individual's horoscope. Sade-sati is a seven and a half year period during which Saturn transits through the zodiac sign immediately before, the same, and immediately after the Moon sign. Ashtama-sanistha dasa is an eight year period during which Saturn is in the eighth house from the Moon sign. Sani Mahadasa is a 19 year period during which Saturn is the primary planetary influence in an individual's horoscope. The effects of these periods are believed to depend on the placement and strength of Saturn in an individual's horoscope, as well as the planetary influences of other planets during these periods.

The Astrology of Millennials & Gen Z

Astrology notes while listening to mitski

(most of these are my personal theories and a compilation of tweets from other astrologers on astro tw, please feel free to add more if you want)

✷ I noticed a lot of capricorn dominant/stellium people like astrology, spirituality and tarot, it must be cause of their sidereal Sagittarius stellium, but it’s good that they like these kinds of things since it can help the person be less uptight 

✷ Wanna know how your love life is gonna go this year? check your solar return, if you haven’t had your birthday yet, then put 2020 after your birthday instead of 2021, see if there’s any aspects in your 7H, for example, if your 7H in the Solar Return is aspecting Neptune, you might be more idealistic about your relationships in general, so be careful by not seeing something that’s not there! or aspecting Pluto, you’ll attract a lot of past lovers, you must also be careful not to fall into possessiveness or unhealthy habits in your relationships, this can count on Venus aspects too! but i personally think the 7H is more important

✷ Also, this has been brought up by another astro blog and they said if your Natal Chart 1H is in your 7H or 5H in your Solar Chart you’ll also be most likely to have romantic relationships that year or it will play an important role that year too (this post!)

✷ Most people that have Saturn in 7H tend to marry or get into really serious relationships rather young, it’s recommended for them to not get married until they have their Saturn return because they’ll probably get divorced (@iJadee on twitter talks a lot about this specifically, and i 100% believe its true, be careful!)

✷ Too much of virgo and libra in one chart can make someone incredibly giving and they get taken advantage of A LOT, they don't know how to put boundaries between being polite and being used, this is something they have to battle with for the rest of their lives because they probably have it since childhood, being the mediator of the family or the one everyone is counting on to be harmonious and happy and giving

✷ A person with plenty of 8H, specially in Venus, Mars and/or Saturn are NOT the type to have one-night stands, these people see sex as the ultimate sacrifice to let yourself be vulnerable with your partner, they probably were in very serious long relationships from a young age or are waiting until they get into a relationship, they are very connected to physical touch, that’s why they won’t give it to just anyone

✷ Also, now that we are in the 8H, this house doesn’t always necessary means sex or what they do with partners or their kinks, this house is way more than that, you’d figure people here will already know that, but not everyone knows. So I’ll tell you what this house means; death, heritage, your dark side, money and how you push yourself, transformation and what you can be scared of, this house has so many more meanings than sex

✷ Having gemini degrees (3°, 15°, 27°) in any planet, but specially MC and ASC, gives the person an innate ability to write and communicate, even if this person has hard aspects with Mercury, people are drawn to what they have to say, this makes someone really good at things related to marketing, or social media, publishing, selling things, etc (the original tweet!)

✷ Following the topic of degrees, if you have several degrees in a sign, like having them in Leo degrees, 5°, 17°, 29°, but not having any Leo in your chart, you can still feel like you relate to that sign to some extent, or having a lot of degrees in a same element (4°, 16°, 28° cancer degree, 8°, 20° scorpio degree, 12°, 24° pisces degree) gives a person more water attributes even if they don’t have water in their chart

✷ A Venus dominant person, or having Venus aspected the most on their chart makes a super artistic person, yes, they know how to create art and are good at it, but Mercury dominant people (especially with Venusian influence) are just as good, they add realism to beauty, they can make normal everyday things look poetic and inspiring, virgos get inspired by that, their routine and geminis by the people around them

✷ This also happens with Saturn dominant people, i think, personally, that capricorns have a way of connecting to their femininity or their softer, more delicate side, and this has nothing to do with gender, earth people normally have a gracious way of moving and a really soft, pretty way of interpreting art, a capricorn will make something like pain or obligations into art, talk about jobs and how money works and how everything is the same in a way that seems likeable, more dreamy

✷ Just gonna continue talking about capricorns lol, these people are very fatalist, they see complications and problems as something beautiful, most musicians that are capricorns or have this sign a lot in their chart use the pain that a situation has caused them and romanticize it, it's almost like they are happy difficult things happen in life to make them feel human

✷ libras don't get enough credit, these people are very ambitious and will do anything to succeed on whatever they want, they might even risk their own health for it

✷ Don't know what to gift your scorpio rising friend? Gift them a cat, scorpio risings have a Leo MC and, as we know, Leo and cats just go together, there is something about the connection a Leo placement and their cats have that nobody else ever will, don't be stupid, gift them a cat!

That's it's all for today folks, please don't send me your birth charts because i won't read them unless you pay me 🤠
