Tula rashi is not in Sade Sati at present. Its next cycle begins on 22 October 2038, when Saturn first enters Virgo — the 12th sign from Libra — and runs to 8 December 2046. Tula holds the gentlest peak configuration of the twelve: its peak phase carries Saturn through Libra, the sign of Saturn’s exaltation, so the most intense stretch of most cycles is, for a Libra Moon, the most constructive. This page gives the exact dates, explains what each phase will affect, lists Tula’s previous and future cycles, and sets out the remedies traditionally prescribed. It is one of the twelve pages covering Sade Sati by moon sign.
Is Tula Rashi in Sade Sati right now?
No. Tula (Libra) is not in Sade Sati at present. Saturn is transiting Pisces, the 6th sign from Libra, which is outside both the Sade Sati and Dhaiya ranges. The next cycle begins on 22 October 2038.
Tula last left Sade Sati in October 2017 and does not re-enter until 22 October 2038 — one of the longest clear runs of any sign right now, and more than a decade away.
If you have been told otherwise, the confusion usually comes from a sun-sign reading rather than a moon-sign one: Sade Sati is calculated from the Moon, and a Libra sun sign with a different Moon can be in Sade Sati while Libra Moons are not.
Tula’s coming cycle is also one of the longer ones at eight years and two months. The name promises seven and a half; the actual span depends on where Saturn’s retrograde loops fall relative to the Virgo, Libra and Scorpio boundaries, and for Tula they fall badly.
What are the exact Sade Sati dates for Tula Rashi?
Tula is not in Sade Sati now; its next cycle runs from 22 October 2038 to 8 December 2046 — eight years and two months. Retrograde motion splits every phase into separate windows.
| Phase | Saturn in | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| Rising phase | Virgo | 22 Oct 2038 – 5 Apr 2039, then 13 Jul 2039 – 28 Jan 2041, then 6 Feb 2041 – 26 Sep 2041 |
| Peak phase | Libra | 28 Jan 2041 – 6 Feb 2041, then 26 Sep 2041 – 11 Dec 2043, then 23 Jun 2044 – 30 Aug 2044 |
| Setting phase | Scorpio | 11 Dec 2043 – 23 Jun 2044, then 30 Aug 2044 – 8 Dec 2046 |
The defining feature of this cycle is the peak. Saturn is exalted in Libra, so Tula’s peak — normally the hardest phase — runs with Saturn at its strongest and most constructive. Pressure still arrives as responsibility and heavier structure, but it builds rather than breaks.
Every one of Tula’s three phases is broken by retrograde motion, which is unusual — most signs get one or two clean phases. The rising phase alone splits three ways. This is why Tula’s dates vary more between calculators than almost any other sign: tools that report a single unbroken span from 2038 to 2046 are averaging over five separate re-entries.
Which phase will Tula Rashi enter first, and what does it mean?
The rising phase, with Saturn in Virgo — the over-commitment audit, and the phase that decides how heavy the rest of the cycle feels. Tula enters the rising phase first, with Saturn in Virgo. The three phases of the coming cycle read as follows, each named for Saturn’s position relative to the natal Moon — the shared sequence is set out under the three phases.
Rising phase for Tula Rashi: Saturn in Virgo
Saturn moves through Virgo, the twelfth from your Moon, and the cost is administrative and physical: details, health, service, and the accumulated weight of everything you agreed to. Libra Moons arrive at this phase over-committed. Use it to audit the calendar — list every recurring obligation and end the three that exist purely because refusing felt unkind. That single act removes most of this phase’s pressure.
Peak phase for Tula Rashi: Saturn in Libra
Saturn sits on your Moon in Libra, where it is exalted — the mildest and most constructive peak of the twelve. Pressure still arrives as responsibility, deadlines and heavier structure, but it builds rather than breaks: this is the phase that turns a diplomatic Libra Moon into someone with real authority. Say yes to the responsibility being offered, and stop negotiating with yourself. Decide, in writing, with dates attached.
Setting phase for Tula Rashi: Saturn in Scorpio
Saturn enters Scorpio, the second from your Moon and an enemy sign, so the closing phase runs less smoothly than the peak did: joint finances, shared obligations and buried matters come up for settlement. Handle them directly rather than diplomatically. This is the phase in which a Libra Moon must have the uncomfortable money conversation — with a partner, a relative, or a bank — and close the account properly.
How does Sade Sati affect Tula Rashi natives?
More gently at the centre than at the edges, because Saturn is exalted in Libra and Tula’s peak is the mildest of the twelve. Saturn is exalted in Libra, so the peak — the stretch most people dread — is for a Libra Moon the constructive centre of the cycle. The difficulty sits at the edges: an over-committed rising phase and an enemy-sign setting phase.
Career. The peak in exalted Libra is a building phase rather than a breaking one. Responsibility offered during it tends to convert into lasting authority, and the characteristic Libra error is hesitation — negotiating internally instead of accepting. Deciding clearly, in writing, is the specific counter for this sign.
The rising phase is the over-commitment audit. A Libra Moon arrives at Sade Sati having said yes too often, and the Virgo rising phase bills all of it at once through detail, service and health. Ending the obligations that exist only because refusing felt unkind removes most of the phase’s pressure.
Money. Steady through the peak, with the exposure in the setting phase. Saturn’s move into Scorpio brings joint finances and shared obligations up for settlement, and a Libra Moon’s instinct to keep the peace can defer the necessary conversation. Having it directly, and closing the account, is the cycle’s practical demand.
Marriage and family. Partnership is Libra’s core theme, and the setting phase in Scorpio tests the financial and obligational side of close relationships rather than the emotional side. Directness, not diplomacy, is what the phase rewards.
Health. Kidneys, lower back and balance-related significations classically, with the rising phase’s over-commitment expressing as fatigue. The audit that clears the calendar also clears much of the health strain.
These are traditional interpretations of the transit rather than predictions of outcome.
What are the previous and next Sade Sati cycles for Tula Rashi?
Tula’s cycles arrive roughly every 29 years, so most people meet two in full and part of a third. Tula’s cycles arrive roughly every 29 years.
| Cycle | Dates |
|---|---|
| Previous | 20 Sep 1950 – 7 Nov 1958 |
| Previous | 4 Nov 1979 – 17 Dec 1987 |
| Previous | 10 Sep 2009 – 26 Oct 2017 |
| Next | 22 Oct 2038 – 8 Dec 2046 |
If you lived through the 2009–2017 cycle, those years are your best evidence for how this transit behaves in your chart. For a Libra Moon the useful question is where over-commitment and partnership obligations concentrated, because the coming cycle tends to press the same points.
Tula’s most recent cycle, from November 2009 to October 2017, is the reference point worth using. Anyone who was an adult through those years has direct evidence of how Saturn’s transit lands on their chart, and the coming cycle in 2038 will rhyme with it more closely than with anything written about Libra in general.
The lengths are not uniform either. The 2009 cycle ran eight years and one month; the coming one runs eight years and two months, against a nominal seven and a half. Retrograde re-entries account for the gap, and they are also why Tula’s dates differ between calculators.
What remedies are prescribed for Tula Rashi during Sade Sati?
Saturday discipline, personal charity and the Shani mantra — none of which require a cycle to be running before they are worth starting. Three remedies apply to every Sade Sati and can begin at any time:
- Saturday discipline. Rise before sunrise and complete the task you have most avoided before noon.
- Personal charity. Give black sesame, black urad dal or a blanket to someone elderly or labouring, handed over yourself.
- Mantra. “Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah”, 108 repetitions daily at a fixed time.
For Tula, the most useful discipline is learning to decline — the practice of refusing obligations cleanly, which protects the whole cycle from the over-commitment that defines the rising phase. Venus rules Libra, so Friday observances are classically recommended. The full sequence is on Sade Sati remedies.
Does Sade Sati affect every Tula Rashi native the same way?
No. The dates on this page are identical for every Libra Moon; the intensity is not. Four chart-level factors decide how heavily the transit lands: your Ascendant, your natal Saturn’s dignity, your running mahadasha, and the aspects on your natal Moon.
For a Libra Ascendant, Saturn is a yogakaraka — the chart’s most constructive planet — which, combined with the exalted-Libra peak, can make this a genuinely building cycle. The Sade Sati calculator weighs all four factors against your birth details and returns a severity score with its reasoning. For the full live picture, see which rashi has Sade Sati now.
