On a another form and by various emails I have received, there have been many that are experiencing śad sāti and its affects. I thought to ask this form's members if any are having this experience as of late and what has occured.
Heres a bit of knowledge on this matter for one's kind consideration.
Please add to it as you see fit.
The words śad sāti help depict possible experiences. I say possible, as it all depends on what houses śani rules in one's natal chart ( janma kuṇḍalī
.
Some people say this śani śadsāti period means 7 1/2 years of Saturn (influence). Perhaps to the casual observer this may be the case. Yet with closer inspection there is more to it.
Here are some of the qualities of this śanaiscara (saturn, the slow moving one) name and time period one would experience.
We said sāti साति is used as 'gaining, obtaining'. Its second use is 'endings, destruction, pain'. By using this word its potency is that withn this 7 year period, one gains and obtains pain. (This was exactly my experience some years ago).
Hence this is the insightful definition that can be brought to śad sāti which in one stroke tells you the period of time ( 7 1/2 years) and the quality of the time period.
We have yet to define this astrologically. Śad sāti is when this śanaiscara (saturn, the slow moving one) is 12th, 1st and 2nd from the natal position of the moon. That is , it is transiting ( residing or gocara) in the 12th from the moon, then moves in the same house as the moon ( in one's birth chart) and then in the 2nd house from the moon in one's birth chart. This period takes ~ 7.5 years to complete.

- śad is to fall off, fall from; to fell , to fall from yet in the term śad sāti, śad it is used as 'half' from the notion that śad is also 'to cut off' and hence it's applied to half ( 1/2 ).
- Now what of this sāti ? If the wise wanted to write '7' they could have just written sapta सप्त, 7. Then it would be called śad saptan and there would little doubt that it was a 7 1/2 year period.
- sāti साति is first used as gaining, obtaining. Its second use is endings. destruction, pain.
- And in its 3rd use, it's the name of a meter (meter is called chandas छन्दस् ). This meter is called padanicṛt or padanikṛt. This is pada + ni + kṛt ( just brillant!). Pada is a step, stride, a portion + ni is the 7th musical note or niṣadha + kṛt is to cut or split ( kṛt is also making to doing, performing and also applies)So this meter is that which is cut (kṛt) into parts (pada) of 7's (ni).
