Sadesati

Sadesati is one of the hardest period in every one's life. Saturn is belived to be planet of sorrow & hardships. Saturn completes its rotation around the Sun in 30 years. Thus Saturn passes through each sign for a period of 2½ years.
When Saturn passes through the 12th Rashi (sign) from the birth moon sign, the sadesati begins. When Saturn passes through the 2nd sign from the birth sign, sadesati comes to an end.
Depending on the power of the original horoscope, original Saturn, Jupiter & their placements in horoscope, the hardships & damages during the sadesati vary.
