Create your chartWhat a planetary transit means
A transit is a planet’s current position compared with its position in a birth chart. In Vedic astrology, readers commonly consider the sign and house a transiting planet occupies from the ascendant and Moon, then interpret it with the natal chart. Transit themes are broad timing context, not certain event predictions.
What Sade Sati describes
Sade Sati is a traditional Saturn transit period covering Saturn’s passage through the sign before the natal Moon, the Moon’s sign, and the sign after it. These three phases span roughly seven and a half years in total. Its interpretation depends on the whole chart and should not be reduced to a label of good or bad luck.
Reading transit results responsibly
Transit calculations depend on accurate birth details and the date used for the current sky. A sign or house placement alone does not establish what will happen in a person’s life. Use the report as one traditional perspective and keep practical decisions grounded in real circumstances.
