Dhanu rashi. My sade sati ended in 2023, but since 2025 home and family feel heavy again. Is Saturn back on me already?
Saturn is in Pisces, the 4th sign from your Moon, called kantaka dhaiya, until February 2028. It is not sade sati. Share your birth date, time and place, and I will see which house Pisces is for you and what your dasha adds.
Short answer
Dhanu rashi sade sati, for a Moon in Sagittarius, ended on 17 January 2023 and the next one runs from 11 December 2043 to 25 February 2052, by calculation with Lahiri ayanamsa. On 3 November 2026 the kantaka dhaiya is running: Saturn is in Pisces, the 4th sign, from 29 March 2025 to 23 February 2028. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read it by chat or call, online from anywhere.

What does an astrologer check for a Sagittarius Moon in Saturn's dhaiya?
- The house Pisces holds from your ascendant. Phaladeepika sloka 22 lists Saturn in the 4th from the Moon among its harder places, touching home, relatives and money 1.
- Your Jupiter. Jupiter rules both your Moon sign, in BPHS 4.17 4, and Pisces, the sign Saturn is passing now.
- Saturn's ashtakavarga bindus in Pisces. Phaladeepika sloka 41 says more bindus give good results even in a bad place 1.
- Your dasha in 2025 to 2028, and whether it involves Saturn, Jupiter or the 4th lord.
- What the 2014 to 2023 sade sati showed, as a guide to how your chart takes Saturn.
What changes the reading for a Dhanu rashi chart?
- Sagittarius ascendant too. Saturn then rules your 2nd and 3rd houses, so astrologers read its transits for savings, speech and siblings.
- Jupiter strong at birth, in Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces. A strong lord of both signs involved is read as steadier.
- A move of home or a parent's health in these years. The 4th from the Moon is the home and mother, so astrologers expect these questions.
- Natal Saturn in Pisces. Then Saturn is transiting its own birth position, its return, a separate event many astrologers read in its own right.
What are the dates of Dhanu rashi's sade sati and dhaiya?
| Saturn's transit from a Sagittarius Moon | Saturn's sign | Calculated dates |
|---|---|---|
| Sade sati just completed | Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn | 2 Nov 2014 to 17 Jan 2023 |
| Kantaka dhaiya (4th), now | Pisces | 29 Mar 2025 to 23 Feb 2028, with Aries 3 Jun to 20 Oct 2027 |
| Ashtama dhaiya (8th) | Cancer | 13 Jul 2034 to 27 Aug 2036 |
| Next sade sati, first phase | Scorpio | 11 Dec 2043 to 23 Jun 2044, and 30 Aug 2044 to 7 Dec 2046 |
| Peak phase | Sagittarius | 7 Dec 2046 to 6 Mar 2049, and 10 Jul to 4 Dec 2049 |
| Last phase | Capricorn, own sign | 6 Mar to 10 Jul 2049, and 4 Dec 2049 to 25 Feb 2052 |
Calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library, Lahiri ayanamsa, in Indian time. Saturn turns direct in Pisces on about 11 December 2026 and reaches its last 10 degrees again from 11 March 2027. The kantaka dhaiya is explained further on shani dhaiya.
What do the classical texts say about Saturn passing Jupiter's signs for a Sagittarius Moon?
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra names Jupiter as lord of Sagittarius in verse 4.17 4, and Pisces is Jupiter's other sign. So the dhaiya running now has Saturn moving through a sign of your own Moon-sign lord.
By the rule in verse 3.55, Jupiter and Saturn are neutral to each other both ways. From Sagittarius, Saturn rules the 2nd, a friendly house, and the 3rd, an unfriendly one; from Aquarius, Jupiter rules the 2nd and the 11th, again one of each 2. Neutral bonds leave more weight on the rest of the chart.
Phaladeepika, the classical transit text, reads Saturn in the 4th from the Moon as hard on home, relatives and money in sloka 22 1. Its sloka 41 tempers every such reading with the ashtakavarga: more bindus in the sign give good results even in the 6th, 8th or 12th 1.
| Source | Rule | For a Sagittarius Moon |
|---|---|---|
| BPHS 4.17 4 | Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter | Pisces, the dhaiya sign, is also Jupiter's |
| BPHS 3.55 2 | Natural friendship from the moolatrikona sign | Jupiter and Saturn: neutral both ways |
| Phaladeepika 26.22 1 | Saturn in the 4th from the Moon | Running 2025 to 2028 |
| Phaladeepika 26.41 1 | Ashtakavarga bindus modify transit results | Checked for Pisces in your chart |
| BPHS 4.19 3 and Phaladeepika 26.31 1 | Capricorn is Saturn's sign; an own-sign planet does no harm | Saturn in Capricorn, 2049 to 2052 |
What can a Sagittarius Moon do while the kantaka dhaiya runs?
- Note the house Pisces rules in your chart, since that is where Saturn sits until February 2028.
- Plan home repairs, moves and property papers with extra time built in.
- Keep in touch with parents and older relatives, and book their routine health checks.
- Treat money for the home as a long project: save first, borrow last.
- Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual sold as dhaiya protection.
Sagittarius Moons have seen all three phases recently; the phase pages explain each: first phase, peak phase, last phase. The overview is on sade sati.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: Dhanu rashi sade sati is still running in 2026.
It ended on 17 January 2023, by calculation. What runs now is the kantaka dhaiya, Saturn in the 4th sign, until 23 February 2028.
Belief: Once sade sati ends, Saturn leaves you alone for 22 years.
For a Sagittarius Moon, two dhaiya spells, 2025 to 2028 and 2034 to 2036, fall inside the gap before the 2043 sade sati, by calculation.

Questions people ask
Dhanu rashi sade sati kab khatam hogi?
Dhanu rashi sade sati is already over: it ended on 17 January 2023, when Saturn entered Aquarius, by calculation with Lahiri ayanamsa. It had started on 2 November 2014. The next Dhanu rashi sade sati begins on 11 December 2043 and ends on 25 February 2052.
When does the dhanu rashi dhaiya end?
The dhanu rashi kantaka dhaiya ends on 23 February 2028, when Saturn enters Aries for good, by calculation. Saturn briefly enters Aries from 3 June to 20 October 2027, so some sources show 2027. The dhaiya began on 29 March 2025.
Is dhanu rashi dhaiya good or bad?
Dhanu rashi dhaiya is neither good nor bad by itself. Phaladeepika lists Saturn in the 4th from the Moon among its harder places, but also says ashtakavarga bindus can turn a hard place good. Astrologers read it through the house Pisces rules for you and your current dasha.
What is the difference between kantaka dhaiya and ashtama dhaiya?
Kantaka dhaiya is Saturn in the 4th sign from the Moon, and ashtama dhaiya is Saturn in the 8th; each lasts about two and a half years. For a Sagittarius Moon the kantaka dhaiya runs now, to February 2028, and the ashtama dhaiya from July 2034 to August 2036, by calculation. Neither is sade sati.
What are easy remedies for Saturn's 4th-house dhaiya?
Easy remedies astrologers mention for a 4th-house dhaiya are free: care for one's mother and elders, Thursday and Saturday prayers, keeping the home clean and orderly, and helping workers. They are traditions, not promises. If anyone presses you to buy a stone or puja, get a second opinion first.
