Methodology and astrological context for Sadhesati Status.
Determines whether a person is currently experiencing Sadhesati — the approximately seven-and-a-half-year transit of Saturn through the three zodiac signs surrounding the natal Moon sign — and identifies which phase of the cycle they are in.
Sadhesati (also written Sade Sati) is one of the most widely discussed and significant transit periods in Vedic astrology. It occurs when Saturn (Shani) transits through the sign immediately before the natal Moon sign, through the natal Moon sign itself, and then through the sign immediately after — a journey that takes approximately 7.5 years in total. Each of the three signs represents a distinct phase (rising, peak, and setting), each with its own traditional implications for the native's life.
This endpoint computes the natal Moon sign from the provided birth data and compares it against Saturn's current or reference transit position to determine whether Sadhesati is active. It identifies the specific phase of the cycle the native is in, and returns a structured status result along with contextual information about the period's traditional significance. It also detects Dhaiya (also known as Kantaka Shani or Small Panoti) — the 2.5-year sub-period when Saturn transits the 4th or 8th house from the natal Moon — which is considered a related but distinct Saturn transit affliction.
The API returns a structured JSON response including:
