How Long This Phase Lasts
Each of the three Sade Sati phases lasts roughly 2.5 years, for a total 7.5-year cycle — but the exact start and end dates depend on Saturn's precise transit speed and your Moon's exact degree, so two people with the same Moon sign can have meaningfully different phase dates.
