Summary

Calculates the Sade Sati period based on birth data and selected ayanamsa, identifying the current or upcoming 7.5-year Saturn transit phases relative to the natal Moon.

Inputs

• year (required) — Birth year in 4-digit format (e.g., 1990)
• month (required) — Birth month as number 1-12 (January=1, December=12)
• day (required) — Birth day of month (1-31)
• hour (required) — Birth hour in 24-hour format (0-23, where 0=midnight, 12=noon)
• minute (required) — Birth minute (0-59)
• locationType (required) — Choose how to specify birth location: by city name (auto-detects coordinates) or exact latitude/longitude
• city (required) — Birth city name (e.g., 'London', 'New York', 'Kyiv') – shown when locationType is city
• countryCode (required) — 2-letter ISO country code for the birth city (e.g., US, GB, UA, DE, FR) – shown when locationType is city
• latitude (required) — Geographic latitude of birth location in decimal degrees (-90 to 90, positive=North) – shown when locationType is coordinates
• longitude (required) — Geographic longitude of birth location in decimal degrees (-180 to 180, positive=East) – shown when locationType is coordinates
• ayanamsa — Ayanamsa (precession correction) system for Vedic calculations – defaults to lahiri
• nodeType — Calculation method for lunar nodes (Rahu/Ketu): mean (average position) or true (actual astronomical position)
• precision — Decimal precision for degree calculations (0-6) – defaults to 2
• simplify — Whether to return simplified response with key data only; disable for full API response with all metadata – defaults to true

Output shape

JSON object containing Sade Sati phase information, including start and end dates (or transit periods) of Saturn over the natal Moon and adjacent signs, referenced against the selected ayanamsa and node type. When simplify is true, returns key data only; otherwise includes full metadata from the API response.

This operation is specific to Vedic astrology and does not require a target date or transit time – it calculates Sade Sati periods from the natal birth data alone. The result is typically used to understand current or upcoming astrological influences associated with Saturn's transit over the Moon.

Examples

Example 1: A workflow builder adds the Astrology node, selects Vedic > Sade Sati, enters birth details for 15 August 1990 at 08:30 in London, UK, with default lahiri ayanamsa. The node returns the current Sade Sati phase, indicating whether Saturn is entering, within, or exiting the 7.5-year period over the natal Moon, along with approximate dates and traditional interpretation cues.

year=1990, month=8, day=15, hour=8, minute=30, locationType=city, city=London, countryCode=GB, ayanamsa=lahiri, nodeType=mean, precision=2, simplify=true
