SadeSati - Should we be terrorized by it? - Part 2
Hello all,
Namaste! Hope all of you had a good weekend and read the first part of this post and had some time to deliberate about it. Today let us tackle the last part of SadeSati. Last week we discussed how the SadeSati or Saturn comes and starts disrupting our subconscious structures in the first 2.5 years and how in the second 2.5 years it comes to get rid of the physical structures that do not work with our life anymore.
The second 2.5 years many times make us get into a physical and mental survival mode, by the time the 5 years rolls by we are made humble to our core and it makes us realize that many times there are higher forces at play, which we cannot control. Remember, we discussed in the post on Vedic Astrology, we cannot control the circumstances, but we can only adjust the sail of our boat in this ocean called life.
So we can be either be afraid of SadeSati and be frozen to the spot without taking any actions or tackle it with focus and intentions. Whether we like it or not the circumstances particular to our life or horoscope is going to happen because Shani is actually doing us a favor by removing structures and fundamental beliefs that does not work in our life anymore. The remaining analysis we will do after the discussion of the third phase.
SadeSati:
Phase 3: The Value (descending) phase: So all the structures, foundations, beliefs, subconscious thoughts, and patterns have been ripped apart first in the subconscious phase and later in the physical or core phase. Now we have become very much a clean slate. All our past conditioning whether from our parents and family or the things we bring into this life subconsciously from other lifetimes, a nice percentage of it is wiped clean.
After 5 years of constant mental, subconscious and physical battle with changing circumstances, falling belief systems and toppling thought patterns, we become extremely tired and wished this constant barrage could just stop and let us be just peaceful. But no, we have another 2.5 years to go through. This is the value phase where Shaniswara says, "OK, now you are a person fresh as a new flower. Build your new value system". Value system here is our core values on which we function or lead our life like sincerity, honesty, personality, character, authenticity etc and these values later gets transmuted into wealth, money and abundance (For example a person of very high value (eg: Bill Gates) earns or makes more).
But is it easy to just build a value system different from our previous one? Not so easy. We have gone through so much change we ourselves don't know what to accept and what to reject. Remember as a baby we take years to build our value system and here also it will continue. Only this is the first stage to it. Now let us come back to our Leon family who has immigrated to the U.S.A. (Most probably the Dad or Mom may have had SadeSati, which kick-started the process.)
The Leon family have survived the first winter. Even though the first snow was exhilarating, they also had to come to terms with the cold, winter weather and going about doing their business in this unfriendly weather. If they have kids, they have started going to school. In the workplace as well as the school they are met with people who talk a very different accent of English, very different skin color and very different social conditioning. It could have been mentally difficult first to come to terms with it as they were not planning to make the move and they were forced to make it due to the social and political unrest. Now also they crave to be back home with family and friends and just go about their everyday stuff. In case of the SadeSati, most of the time that is the case, Saturn forces us to change by putting new and difficult experiences and many times we just don't want to change.
Another thing the Leon family is met with is the very different value system the U.S.A has compared to their home country. Maybe they had a presidential, monarchy or a traditional political and social system and the individual values and family values can be very different in their adopted country compared to their country of origin. In the U.S.A., individual freedom and happiness are given more importance than the happiness and freedom as a group. So that may be a value change they may have to make. Also, they are far away from all the traditions and the family values they knew till now.
Here, in a new country, they may have people who have come from their same country and who may have similar values and this becomes the family they have in the new place. So the close friends and network groups who share the same values become their family. Likewise there may be innumerable mental and cultural obstacles one has to go through to grow roots in a new place, like food, language, culture, weather, climate, seasons, and other emotional changes like loneliness, away from a home culture, detachment from the new culture, not making any sense of the new environment and many other things.
Also another big question, the Leon family will struggle with is how to bring up their kids? Should they teach the customs they used to follow in their birth country, should they completely follow the customs and rituals of the new country or should they balance both cultures and take the best of both worlds? So here Saturn forces us to face our dilemma, come up with a solution and put in place a solid value system and foundation that works for the new environment we find ourselves in.
Analysis of SadeSati: Now let us come to the analysis part. We discussed all the three, ascending, middle and the descending phase, which is a total of 7.5 years that can really tear us apart from what we knew till then. This SadeSati happens over our Moon, which is our mind and mental space. Now whether we like it or not, whatever circumstances that has to occur in our life like a death, divorce, accident, mishap or moving to a new country, being a refugee or caught in a political unrest (eg; Let us think whether any normal ordinary person in Syria would have liked to be caught in the middle of a civil war? ) is going to happen. We cannot control the Universal forces that are at play in our life or in our circumstances. It will be like the boat caught in the middle of a huge wave. Now the only thing we can do is to adjust our sail and at least take control of the helm of the boat.
How do we do that? Saturn goes over our Moon in SadeSati. Moon is our mind that takes in the experiences and produces the different varieties of emotions that create our experiences. The things that are happening are actually neutral in nature, but we use our Moon to associate a particular emotion to the experience and bring that experience into our mental view. Instead of reacting to every change that occurs during SadeSati with grief, sadness, happiness, frustration, anger and other emotions, if we take the fact that change is inevitable and work to make ourselves flexible with the change, isn't that a better tactic to deal with Saturn and SadeSati? A sturdy or inflexible tree in the storm breaks, but a flexible one bends and stands another day to tell the story. Same way the only thing we can do during SadeSati is to surrender to the changes, take the best actions possible given the circumstances and not to get emotionally tied up with every circumstance that is thrown at our face.
Now for that what do we need to do? We have to make our Moon or our mental emotions strong and go with the flow and take the best actions by keeping our mentality balanced and flexible. Is it good to thrash around in the boat in a rough sea or at least pull down the sail and guide the boat through the turbulence? If we don't do anything, the boat is definitely going to crash or we are definitely going to be thrown into the water and drown. Here is another point we need to consider, if we hold onto our previous circumstances, our life will stagnate and the faulty foundation will finally topple our whole life. Instead, it is better to be flexible with the changes and allow new energies to bring fresh circumstances into our life. Old and stagnant energies bring in more bad experiences, so always better to welcome the change.
Another point, as mentioned before, SadeSati comes every 30 years. So Saturn will come back over our Moon only after another 30 years and if we think the first phase of the SadeSati as the fresh new beginning, then this beginning sets the tone of our material and physical life (Remember, Saturn is the Lord of the material and physical reality) for the next thirty years. That is 1/3 of our life. Do we want to start the SadeSati and the next thirty years on the wrong foot? So think what do we want for the next thirty years of our life, be flexible with the change, focus on the circumstances that we want in our life (What we focus on grows in our life and that we don't focus on, wilts) and work towards blossoming that in our life.
One last note, (Not sure whether the concept of 'recurring lifetimes' happens, but intuitively I feel that it does) all of us may have gone through numerous lifetimes and the emotional/psychological baggage, patterns, conditioning etc from many lifetimes we bring into this lifetime. On top of that, we build conditioning and patterns again in this life. Also in each lifetime we only get to work on a small part of the total whole of emotional/psychological baggage. Shani helps to clear many of these loads we are carrying. So we have to be extremely Thankful to Shaniswara who is helping us to work on some of those heavy loads we are carrying. Shani commands, "Travel light and fast"! ;-).
So finally my question to all, "Should we bent like a bamboo or break like a tree? And should we be terrorized by SadeSati?"
I wish you a good weekend and I'll see you next Friday! 😉

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance ; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried".
