Sade sathi: As Saturn transits the 12th (your secret closet), 1st (you, your identity) and 2nd (your possessions, your values) house with relation to your Natal Moon, it can reflect patterns of imbalance within your life.
Saturn spends approximately 2 1/2 years in each house of the Zodiac, and the 7 1/2 years it takes to transit those three houses are referred to as Sade sathi.
Jupiter/Saturn Relationship
Jupiter gives the inspiration behind an endeavor, while Saturn gives it structure and form. Without Saturn’s influence nothing of lasting value could ever be actualized. Jupiter gives new, expansive ideas but not necessarily the ability to manifest them. Therefore, we need both for an idea to come into full manifestation.
Consider a tree. Think of Saturn as the roots and trunk of the tree, and Jupiter as its leaves and branches. Jupiter aspires to the heavens with new growth while Saturn establishes a firm foundation. Both are obviously dependent on one another for any significant and sustained growth to happen.
