Where Saturn goes in Leo’s Sade Sati
Sade Sati for Leo Moon sign is Saturn’s passage through Cancer (the 12th sign from your Moon), Leo itself, and Virgo (the 2nd). In those signs Saturn is in a sign of the Moon, which it treats as an enemy, then a sign of the Sun, which it treats as an enemy, then a sign of Mercury, its friend, by the classical tables of dignity and friendship. Many astrologers read Saturn as steadier where it is dignified, but the texts judge a transit with the whole chart: the dasha you are running, Saturn’s position in your birth chart, and its ashtakavarga support.
When Saturn turns retrograde near a sign boundary it can step back into the previous sign for a few months. The table above lists every stay, so the dates may differ from tables that only count Saturn’s first entry.
