By Moon sign

The house from your Moon sign (rashi) in which the event falls.

Moon sign	House from the Moon	What it touches
Aries (Mesha)	1	Saturn over your Moon sign: the middle phase of sade sati. A slower pace and more duty; keep routine, sleep and health in order.
Taurus (Vrishabha)	12	The first phase of sade sati: expenses, sleep and distance from home. Cut waste, rest and prepare for the next years.
Gemini (Mithuna)	11	One of Saturn's traditionally favourable houses: steady effort, older friendships and long-term plans come into focus. Progress with income may take time.
Cancer (Karka)	10	Career may call for more responsibility and sustained work. Progress can be slow; keep your standards steady.
Leo (Simha)	9	Beliefs, teachers and long journeys are reviewed; duty to father and elders grows. Keep faith practical.
Virgo (Kanya)	8	Ashtama Saturn (8th from the Moon) is traditionally considered demanding. Give health routines, shared finances and plans patient attention; avoid shortcuts.
Libra (Tula)	7	Partnerships and contracts may call for maturity and clear commitments. Be fair and take time with major decisions.
Scorpio (Vrishchika)	6	A traditionally favourable Saturn placement for work routines, health habits and competition. Consistent effort can help with pending tasks or disputes.
Sagittarius (Dhanu)	5	Children, study and creative plans move slowly. Practical learning and patience with children help.
Capricorn (Makara)	4	Kantaka Saturn (ardhashtama): home, property and peace of mind feel heavier. Repair, simplify, care for your parents.
Aquarius (Kumbha)	3	One of Saturn's traditionally favourable houses: patient effort can build courage and help with competition. Progress tends to be gradual.
Pisces (Mina)	2	The last phase of sade sati: money and family ask for discipline. Speak carefully, save, finish what Saturn began.

Transit dates

Saturn crosses a sign in about two and a half years. It moves from Pisces into Aries in three steps: 2 June 2027 — entry, 20 October 2027 — back into Pisces, 23 February 2028 — into Aries for good (sidereal, Lahiri).

Saturn debilitated

Aries is the sign of Mars, of fire and fast action; Saturn is the planet of slowness, patience and duty. Here it is debilitated (deepest at 20°). Collectively it is a time when haste is punished and discipline comes through effort: reforms, rebuilding of structures, leaders tested for maturity. For Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, ruled by Saturn, the transit is especially noticeable.

Sade Sati

Sade Sati is counted from the Moon sign. With Saturn moving into Aries: for an Aquarius Moon Sade Sati ends (fully after 23 February 2028); for a Pisces Moon the third phase begins; for an Aries Moon the second, most tangible phase; for a Taurus Moon the first phase — Sade Sati begins.

Kantaka and ashtama

Saturn in Aries is 4th from a Capricorn Moon (kantaka Shani) and 8th from a Virgo Moon (ashtama Shani) — also 2.5-year periods of extra load. In the 3rd, 6th and 11th signs from the Moon (Aquarius, Scorpio and Gemini Moons) Saturn's transit is traditionally favourable.
