Sade Sati · 7.5-year Saturn cycle
Sade Sati for Leo Moon
Sade Sati runs while Saturn transits the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your Moon. For a Leo Moon, that window is Cancer → Leo → Virgo — roughly 7.5 years in total, with the hardest stretch when Saturn stands directly on Leo.
Rising phase (12th house)
Saturn transits Cancer, your 12th house of hidden matters. Confidence dips quietly, expenses rise, and the ego undergoes a private audit.
Peak phase (Saturn on your Moon)
Saturn crosses your Moon in Leo. Recognition, authority and pride are tested — promotions stall, roles shift, and the lesson is leadership without applause.
Setting phase (2nd house)
Saturn enters Virgo, your 2nd house of wealth and speech. Finances and health demand systems; the humility learned in the peak phase becomes your advantage.
The core lesson
Ego versus service. Leo learns that authority survives when it serves rather than performs.
Remedies & practice
Sun worship at dawn plus Saturday Hanuman prayers. Service without audience — quiet, uncredited help — is the medicine.
