According to astrology and the Hindu calendar, Saturn has moved into Pisces, triggering a phase of Sadhesati for people born under Aries, Pisces and Aquarius. At the same time, Leo and Sagittarius are going through Saturn's Dhaiya. Astrology holds that this effect could last for about the next 5 months, and followers of these five signs are being advised to stay alert.
What Sadhesati and Dhaiya actually mean
In astrology, Saturn's transit is considered highly significant. When Saturn moves through the twelfth, first and second houses from the Moon in a person's birth chart, that phase is called Sadhesati, which lasts around seven and a half years. When Saturn moves through the fourth and eighth houses from the Moon, that phase is called Dhaiya. With Saturn's current transit into Pisces, natives of Aries, Pisces and Aquarius have entered the Sadhesati window, while Leo and Sagittarius remain under the effect of Dhaiya.
What difficulties this phase may bring
Astrology suggests that during Sadhesati and Dhaiya, everyday work can run into obstacles and negative thoughts may take over the mind. Tension and friction can build up at home, while finances may also see ups and downs. People are advised to avoid buying property or investing in the stock market during this period, since even work that is going smoothly can suddenly hit a snag. Money troubles may crop up, and individuals could find themselves caught up in political disputes. Life may throw up several kinds of challenges during this time, so it is advised not to put excessive pressure on oneself.
Remedies suggested to please Saturn
To reduce the inauspicious effects of Sadhesati and Dhaiya, astrology recommends regularly chanting Saturn's mantra Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah. Donating black urad lentils is also considered auspicious. On Saturday evenings, a lamp mixing mustard oil with black sesame seeds should be lit at a Shani temple. Helping people in need is also described as a way to please Saturn. Offering water to the peepal tree and the shami tree every Saturday, and donating black items, are also considered beneficial. In addition, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, Shani Chalisa and Shiv Chalisa daily is said to please Saturn, according to astrology.
Astrology notes that the Sadhesati and Dhaiya phase does not affect every individual in the same way, but this period can be navigated with alertness and patience. Following the remedies mentioned above with devotion is believed to bring relief from Saturn's harsher effects.
