For a Moon in Virgo (Kanya), Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through Leo (Simha), then Virgo (Kanya) itself, then Libra (Tula). Kantaka Shani is Saturn in Sagittarius (Dhanu) and Ashtama Shani is Saturn in Aries (Mesh).
Saturn's strength in each of the three signs: Leo (Simha), in an enemy's sign (ruled by Sun); Virgo (Kanya), in a friend's sign (ruled by Mercury); Libra (Tula), exalted. Saturn is exalted in Libra, which tradition reads as a more constructive setting phase.
Kanya is ruled by Mercury, which Saturn counts as a friend. By the widely repeated traditional view that Sade Sati weighs lighter where Saturn and the Moon sign's lord are friends, it is read as lighter for Kanya rashi. Treat it as a tendency; the full chart decides.
From 1 November 2006, 7:14 AM IST to 2 November 2014, 8:55 PM IST, about 8.0 years. Saturn's retrograde motion makes it cross a boundary more than once, so the phases run in this order:
| 1 Nov 2006 to 10 Jan 2007 | Rising phase: Saturn in Leo (Simha), 12th from the Moon |
| 10 Jan 2007 to 16 Jul 2007 | Break: Saturn in Cancer (Kark), 11th from the Moon (stepped back while retrograde) |

From 27 August 2036, 8:37 PM IST to 30 August 2044, 7:00 AM IST, about 8.0 years. Saturn's retrograde motion makes it cross a boundary more than once, so the phases run in this order:
| 27 Aug 2036 to 22 Oct 2038 | Rising phase: Saturn in Leo (Simha), 12th from the Moon |
| 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039 | Peak phase: Saturn in Virgo (Kanya), 1st from the Moon |
| 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 | Rising phase: Saturn in Leo (Simha), 12th from the Moon, re-entered retrograde |

| 23 Jun 2044 to 30 Aug 2044 | Setting phase: Saturn in Libra (Tula), 2nd from the Moon, re-entered retrograde |
The Dhaiya, or small panoti, is about two and a half years of Saturn in the 4th (Kantaka) or the 8th (Ashtama) from the Moon. For Kanya rashi these are Saturn's stays in Sagittarius (Dhanu) and Aries (Mesh):
| 17 Apr 1998 to 7 Jun 2000 | Ashtama Shani (8th) |
| 26 Jan 2017 to 24 Jan 2020 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 21 Jun 2017 to 26 Oct 2017 while Saturn is in Scorpio |
| 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030 | Ashtama Shani (8th), with a break 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029 while Saturn is in Pisces and Taurus |
| 8 Dec 2046 to 4 Dec 2049 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 6 Mar 2049 to 10 Jul 2049 while Saturn is in Capricorn |
None of this is fixed fate: the birth chart and running dasha decide how a Kanya Moon feels each phase.
| Rising phase, Saturn in Leo | Saturn in the 12th from the Moon. Traditionally a time of rising expenses, disturbed sleep and distance from familiar ground, and of letting go of what has run its course. |
| Peak phase, Saturn in Virgo | Saturn over the natal Moon itself. The most intense stretch in the tradition, for the mind, health and responsibilities, and classically the most transformative. |
| Setting phase, Saturn in Libra | Saturn in the 2nd from the Moon. Pressure tends to ease, and the focus moves to savings, family and speech, with consolidation of what the earlier phases built. |
| Kantaka Shani, Saturn in Sagittarius | Saturn in the 4th from the Moon. About two and a half years when home, property, vehicles, the mother's health and peace of mind are traditionally in focus. |
| Ashtama Shani, Saturn in Aries | Saturn in the 8th from the Moon. About two and a half years treated with the most caution: health, sudden setbacks and reputation need care. |
When Saturn moves into Aries (Mesh) on 3 June 2027, it enters your 8th house from a Virgo Moon. Ashtama Shani: the most cautious Saturn transit, for health and sudden setbacks. For this Moon sign Ashtama Shani, the second Dhaiya, begins. It becomes final on 23 Feb 2028, after Saturn's retrograde return to Pisces.
