Sadhesati Life Cycle API

Sadhesati Life Cycle

Returns a complete, lifetime view of all Sadhesati and Dhaiya (Kantaka Shani) periods a person will experience across their entire lifespan, based on their natal Moon sign and Saturn's cyclical transit pattern.

What this API does

While the Sadhesati Status endpoint answers whether a person is currently in Sadhesati, this endpoint takes a broader, longitudinal perspective. It maps out every past, present, and future occurrence of Sadhesati and Dhaiya across the native's life — from birth through old age — providing a comprehensive timeline of all significant Saturn transit periods.

Sadhesati recurs roughly every 29.5 years (Saturn's full orbital cycle), meaning most people experience it two to three times in their lifetime. Each occurrence spans approximately 7.5 years and is divided into three phases (rising, peak, and setting), each with distinct traditional implications. Dhaiya — Saturn's 2.5-year transit over the 4th or 8th house from the natal Moon — occurs more frequently and is treated as a related but separate Saturn affliction.

This endpoint computes the natal Moon sign from the provided birth data and then projects Saturn's transit cycle forward and backward across the native's expected lifespan, returning a structured list of all Sadhesati and Dhaiya occurrences with their precise start and end dates, phases, and contextual descriptions.

What data it returns

The API returns a structured JSON response including:

• Complete Sadhesati timeline: A chronological list of all Sadhesati occurrences across the native's lifetime, each broken down into its three phases (rising, peak, setting) with precise start and end dates
• Complete Dhaiya timeline: A chronological list of all Dhaiya (4th house and 8th house) occurrences with start and end dates
• Natal Moon sign: The zodiac sign of the Moon in the native's birth chart, which serves as the reference point for all calculations
• Phase details: For each Sadhesati occurrence, the individual phases are listed with their respective date ranges, the sign Saturn is transiting during each phase, and contextual descriptions of the phase's traditional implications
• Past, present, and future periods: The timeline covers periods that have already occurred, any currently active period, and all future occurrences projected across the native's lifespan
• Contextual interpretation: Textual descriptions of the traditional significance of each Sadhesati occurrence and its phases, providing life-stage context for the native's Saturn transit history and forecast
