In astrology, Sadesati and Dhaiya of planet Saturn are often discussed. Many people believe that struggle, hard work and difficult times begin in the lives of those whose zodiac sign is under the influence of Saturn. Shani Dev is considered the god of justice and action. According to astrology, due to the influence of Shani Dev, people get results according to their deeds. People who have bad karma have to face tough times during the influence of Saturn.

 

There are two main periods of Saturn, which are called Sadesati and Dhaiya. In Sadesati, the influence of Saturn lasts for 7.5 years, whereas in Dhaiya, this influence lasts for 2.5 years. Shani Dev is considered the planet of discipline, justice and patience. Astrologers believe that when Saturn’s Mahadasha occurs in one’s horoscope, it teaches the person patience and discipline. Those who live their lives according to these qualities do not suffer much. Now the question arises that what is Sade Sati and Dhaiya of Saturn and what is the difference between the two.

 

 

What happens in the condition of Sade Sati?

 

In astrology, Sade Sati of Saturn is considered very important. It begins when Saturn enters one house before a person’s birth sign. During this period, Saturn’s influence remains on the person for a total of 7.5 years. This time is divided into three parts, each part being of approximately two and a half years. In these three stages a person has to face different types of experiences and challenges.

 

The effect of Sade Sati usually comes twice in life. During this time, a person should give up laziness, otherwise career may get hampered. Work is completed slowly, which requires more hard work. At this time a person can achieve success only on the basis of his hard work. Also, during this period, one should not misbehave with any helpless person, otherwise Shani Dev can immediately give punishment as per the deeds.

 

What is Dhaiya Dasha of Saturn?

 

When Saturn enters the fourth or eighth house of a person’s horoscope, then the effect of Dhaiya is considered. During this time, Saturn teaches important lessons of life to the person. This period lasts for approximately 2.5 years. During this period, a person may have to face such situations, due to which he develops the habit of honesty and hard work.

 

In Dhaiya Dasha, instead of giving excessive punishment, Saturn inspires the person to become action-oriented. People who are hardworking and honest can also get promotion during this period. This time works to improve the person. Overall, in both the cases one gets the results of the karma. Whatever work a person does, he gets the same result.

 

What to do during Saturn’s dasha?

 

Have faith in hard work – At this time, the results get delayed, but hard work definitely pays off.
Maintain honesty – Do every work with complete honesty.
Be patient – There may be more conflict during this time, so patience is necessary.
Donate – Donating black sesame and lentils is considered auspicious.
