For a Moon in Taurus (Vrishabh), Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through Aries (Mesh), then Taurus (Vrishabh) itself, then Gemini (Mithun). Kantaka Shani is Saturn in Leo (Simha) and Ashtama Shani is Saturn in Sagittarius (Dhanu).
Saturn's strength in each of the three signs: Aries (Mesh), debilitated; Taurus (Vrishabh), in a friend's sign (ruled by Venus); Gemini (Mithun), in a friend's sign (ruled by Mercury). Saturn is debilitated in Aries, so the rising phase is traditionally the one read with most care.
Vrishabh is ruled by Venus, 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 Vrishabh rashi. Treat it as a tendency; the full chart decides.
From 17 April 1998, 1:06 PM IST to 26 May 2005, 7:23 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:
| 17 Apr 1998 to 7 Jun 2000 | Rising phase: Saturn in Aries (Mesh), 12th from the Moon |
| 7 Jun 2000 to 23 Jul 2002 | Peak phase: Saturn in Taurus (Vrishabh), 1st from the Moon |
| 23 Jul 2002 to 8 Jan 2003 | Setting phase: Saturn in Gemini (Mithun), 2nd from the Moon |
| 8 Jan 2003 to 7 Apr 2003 | Peak phase: Saturn in Taurus (Vrishabh), 1st from the Moon, re-entered retrograde |
| 7 Apr 2003 to 6 Sep 2004 | Setting phase: Saturn in Gemini (Mithun), 2nd from the Moon |

| 13 Jan 2005 to 26 May 2005 | Setting phase: Saturn in Gemini (Mithun), 2nd from the Moon, re-entered retrograde |
From 3 June 2027, 5:28 AM IST to 13 July 2034, 4:24 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:
| 3 Jun 2027 to 20 Oct 2027 | Rising phase: Saturn in Aries (Mesh), 12th from the Moon |
| 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 | Break: Saturn in Pisces (Meen), 11th from the Moon (stepped back while 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 Vrishabh rashi these are Saturn's stays in Leo (Simha) and Sagittarius (Dhanu):
| 1 Nov 2006 to 10 Sep 2009 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 10 Jan 2007 to 16 Jul 2007 while Saturn is in Cancer |
| 26 Jan 2017 to 24 Jan 2020 | Ashtama Shani (8th), with a break 21 Jun 2017 to 26 Oct 2017 while Saturn is in Scorpio |
| 27 Aug 2036 to 13 Jul 2039 | Kantaka Shani (4th), with a break 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039 while Saturn is in Virgo |
| 8 Dec 2046 to 4 Dec 2049 | Ashtama Shani (8th), 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 Vrishabh Moon feels each phase.
| Rising phase, Saturn in Aries | 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 Taurus | 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 Gemini | 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 Leo | 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 Sagittarius | 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. |
