    Sade Sati is Saturn's 7.5-year transit through the sign before, the sign of, and the sign after the Moon's natal Rashi. It is treated as a period of friction and discipline rather than plain misfortune, and depends on Saturn's natal placement and the particular sign.

    Dasha is the Vedic astrology term for a planetary time period — the system that turns a fixed birth chart into a timeline of periods ruled by different grahas. The Vimshottari Dasha, calculated from the Moon's Nakshatra at birth, is the one in most widespread use.
