What each phase means for Tula
First phase (Saturn in Kanya, the 12th from your Moon): expenses, travel, broken sleep and a feeling of being alone. Old things fall away; a good time for saving and spiritual practice.
Second phase (Saturn in Tula, over your Moon): the heaviest part. Responsibility and tiredness rise, results come late and the mind feels pressed. Steady routines, care for health and avoiding big gambles help most.
Third phase (Saturn in Vrishchika, the 2nd from your Moon): care with money, speech and family matters. The pressure eases step by step and effort begins to show results.
Tula is ruled by Venus, a friend of Saturn, so tradition holds that Sade Sati is comparatively gentle for Tula natives. In the second phase Saturn is exalted (strongest) in Tula, so this phase is thought to be easier. Saturn’s place in your own chart, your dasha and your Ashtakavarga change the effect a great deal; Sade Sati is not bad for everyone.
