Acharya Varahamihira, in his renowned work Brihat Jatakam, asserts दुःखं दिनेशात्मजः। , indicating that Shani represents sorrow. If Shani is malevolent and feeble, it is believed to generate unhappiness in any position it occupies. This principle also applies to Gochara. The Gochara of Shani holds significant importance in Nadi Jyotisha. The author of Sri Sarvartha Chintamani, in the second chapter, explicitly states कष्टभे चरति सूर्यनन्दने।, which implies that death (or suffering) occurs when Shani transits over the 8th Bhava. The transit of Shani requires careful analysis, as it spans a duration of 2.5 years. I firmly believe that Sade Sati is not invariably a time of misfortune and sorrow, contrary to popular belief. In the subsequent article, I have elaborated on several key methods derived from various ancient texts.

Scribe's Opinion
A widely accepted principle suggests that Shani's Sade Sati will be detrimental for those signs where Shani is considered malefic, while it will be advantageous for those signs where Shani is deemed benefic. In practice, this principle often proves ineffective and fails in numerous instances. Numerous speculative assertions exist in the market where individuals have unnecessarily attempted to portray Shani's character as exceedingly benevolent, overlooking the insights provided by Sri Varahamihira. Undoubtedly, Shani has the capacity to confer favorable outcomes; however, certain conditions must be met. The primary association of Shani is Dukham, which translates to sorrows that remain unchanged regardless of circumstances.
Illustrations
During Shani's transit over 2nd Bhava from Chandra, in Jan 1966 Smt. Gandhi assumed the position as Prime Minister of India. She faced obstacles in her political career during Ashtama Shani transit. She was assassinated when Shani transited in Thula in trines to position of Chandra in Navamsa.
Sri. Narendra Modi was elected as the Prime Minister of India in 2014 during his Sade Sati period. His political career has been growing ever since he underwent Sade Sati. However, his popularity will decrease significantly by the end of 2026.
The scribe wrote in May 2024 - Currently, Prime Minister Modi is in Ardha Ashtama Shani transit. It requires no astrological prediction to say that PM Modi shall be re-elected as Prime Minister of India in 2024 but only after hardships.
