Shani's Sadesati Panoti (Year 2025)

Shani (Saturn) is known as the lord of justice in Vedic astrology. When Shani transits into a new moon sign, it influences different moon signs in various ways, particularly through Sadesati and Small Panoti (Dhaiya). In 2025, Shani will enter Pisces (Meen Rashi) on 29 March, 2025, and this will have a significant impact on certain moon signs.

About Shani Sadesati:

Shani Sadesati is a 7.5 year period when Shani transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses from the natal Moon sign. It is believed to bring major life challenges, hardships, and karmic lessons. However, for some, it can also bring opportunities, discipline, and spiritual growth depending on their individual charts.

About Small Panoti (Dhaiya):

Small Panoti or Dhaiya is a period of 2.5 years when Shani transits through the 4th or 8th house from the natal Moon sign. This is considered a testing period, bringing struggles and obstacles in life.

Moon Signs Affected by Sadesati in 2025:

• Kumbh (Aquarius) will be in the last phase of Sadesati with Silver Paya. The struggles of the past will begin to fade, leading to improvements in career and financial gains. The overall impact is considered auspicious.

• Meen (Pisces) will be in the middle phase of Sadesati with Gold Paya. This phase brings major transformations, potential health issues, career instability, and financial struggles. The effect is considered inauspicious.

• Mesh (Aries) will enter the first phase of Sadesati with Iron Paya. The initial impact may bring stress, challenges in relationships, and difficulties in personal and professional life. The effect is considered inauspicious.

Moon Signs Affected by Small Panoti in 2025:

• Sinh (Leo) will experience the impact of Small Panoti with Iron Paya. This period may bring career obstacles, mental stress, delays in work, and unexpected expenses. The influence of Shani in this period is considered inauspicious

• Dhan (Sagittarius) will experience the impact of Small Panoti with Iron Paya. This period may bring professional slowdowns. This phase can be particularly testing and requires patience and perseverance. The effect is also considered inauspicious.

Moon Signs Not Directly Affected by Sadesati or Small Panoti:

• Vrishabh (Taurus) will experience financial stability with minor struggles.
• Mithun (Gemini) will see career growth, new opportunities, and moderate challenges.
• Kark (Cancer) is likely to have a favorable period with family happiness and improved wealth.
• Kanya (Virgo) will witness career advancements but may also face some family tensions.
• Tula (Libra) will benefit from business growth and better financial control.
• Vrischik (Scorpio) will experience stability in relationships and new opportunities.
• Makar (Capricorn) will recover from past struggles and see good financial progress.

How to Reduce the Negative Impact of Sadesati and Small Panoti:

If your moon sign is affected by Sadesati or Small Panoti (Dhaiya) in 2025, chanting Shani mantras like the Shani Beej Mantra or Hanuman Chalisa can help alleviate difficulties. Donating black sesame seeds, mustard oil, or iron items on Saturdays is another effective remedy. Feeding crows and black dogs is believed to appease Shani Dev and reduce hardships. Worshipping Lord Hanuman and Shani Dev regularly can also bring relief.

It is advised to avoid lying, cheating, and negative karma, as these actions invite Shani’s harsh punishment.

Shani’s transit in Pisces in 2025 will have a profound impact on various moon signs. Those under Sadesati should take extra care in decision-making and perform remedies to minimize difficulties. Meanwhile, other signs may experience moderate or positive effects.
