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