Where Saturn goes in Libra’s Sade Sati
Sade Sati for Libra Moon sign is Saturn’s passage through Virgo (the 12th sign from your Moon), Libra itself, and Scorpio (the 2nd). In those signs Saturn is in a sign of Mercury, its friend, then its sign of exaltation, then a sign of Mars, which it treats as an enemy, 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.
