For a Moon in Gemini (Mithun), Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through Taurus (Vrishabh), then Gemini (Mithun) itself, then Cancer (Kark). Kantaka Shani is Saturn in Virgo (Kanya) and Ashtama Shani is Saturn in Capricorn (Makar).
Saturn's strength in each of the three signs: Taurus (Vrishabh), in a friend's sign (ruled by Venus); Gemini (Mithun), in a friend's sign (ruled by Mercury); Cancer (Kark), in an enemy's sign (ruled by Moon).
Mithun 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 Mithun rashi. Treat it as a tendency; the full chart decides.
From 7 June 2000, 12:59 AM IST to 16 July 2007, 4:46 AM IST, about 7.1 years. Saturn's retrograde motion makes it cross a boundary more than once, so the phases run in this order:
| 7 Jun 2000 to 23 Jul 2002 | Rising phase: Saturn in Taurus (Vrishabh), 12th from the Moon |
| 23 Jul 2002 to 8 Jan 2003 | Peak phase: Saturn in Gemini (Mithun), 1st from the Moon |

From 8 August 2029, 12:34 PM IST to 27 August 2036, 8:37 PM IST, about 7.1 years. Saturn's retrograde motion makes it cross a boundary more than once, so the phases run in this order:

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 Mithun rashi these are Saturn's stays in Virgo (Kanya) and Capricorn (Makar):
| 10 Sep 2009 to 4 Aug 2012 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 15 Nov 2011 to 16 May 2012 while Saturn is in Libra |
| 24 Jan 2020 to 17 Jan 2023 | Ashtama Shani (8th), with a break 29 Apr 2022 to 12 Jul 2022 while Saturn is in Aquarius |
| 22 Oct 2038 to 26 Sep 2041 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 and 28 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041 while Saturn is in Leo and Libra |
| 6 Mar 2049 to 25 Feb 2052 | Ashtama Shani (8th), with a break 10 Jul 2049 to 4 Dec 2049 while Saturn is in Sagittarius |
None of this is fixed fate: the birth chart and running dasha decide how a Mithun Moon feels each phase.
| Rising phase, Saturn in Taurus | 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 Gemini | 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 Cancer | 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 Virgo | 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 Capricorn | 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. |
