Elinati Shani | 7 ½ years of Saturn Transit | Sadesati | Ezharai Sani

Elinati Shani (Sadesati Shani) is the 7 ½ years of Saturn Transit period which has greater significance in any native’s life. Saturn transits 2 years and 6 months in every sign. It takes 7 and a half years for Saturn to transit from the 12th sign to birth sign and to move out of the 2nd sign. This is called Elinati Shani.

It means that Saturn remains 2 ½ years in 12th sign, 2 ½ years in Ascendant sign (Lagna) and 2 ½ years in the 2nd house sign.

According to the general astrological principles, when Saturn transits in the 12th house from the moon sign, he brings great loss; when he transits in the first first house he brings great calamity; and in the 2nd house he brings great financial loss. Since these periods give much difficulty and problems to the people, it has gained such prominence.
