Where Saturn goes in Aquarius’s Sade Sati
Sade Sati for Aquarius Moon sign is Saturn’s passage through Capricorn (the 12th sign from your Moon), Aquarius itself, and Pisces (the 2nd). In those signs Saturn is in its own sign, then its own sign, and its moolatrikona, then a sign of Jupiter, which it treats as neutral, by the classical tables of dignity and friendship. Many astrologers read Saturn as steadier where it is dignified, but the texts judge a transit with the whole chart: the dasha you are running, Saturn’s position in your birth chart, and its ashtakavarga support.
When Saturn turns retrograde near a sign boundary it can step back into the previous sign for a few months. The table above lists every stay, so the dates may differ from tables that only count Saturn’s first entry.
