🪐 Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn passes through the signs around your Moon sign. If you live in Canberra and life has felt heavy lately, check whether Sade Sati or Shani Dhaiya is running for you and what it means.

Saturday is Shani's day. Many people in Canberra visit a temple, light a sesame-oil lamp or give to charity on Saturdays during Sade Sati. If you plan something important on a Saturday, avoid Rahu Kaal, which on Saturdays falls in the third eighth of the day. The next Saturday's timings for Canberra are below.
Saturday 7 November in Canberra: sunrise 5:55 AM, Rahu Kaal 9:21 AM – 11:04 AM, Tithi Krishna Trayodashi.
| Day (Vara) | Ravivar (Sunday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Saptami until Sun 1 Nov, 8:22 PM |
| Nakshatra | Punarvasu (pada 4) until Sun 1 Nov, 11:09 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:00 AM / 7:33 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 5:51 PM – 7:33 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:19 PM – 1:14 PM |
All times are Canberra local time (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, UTC+11). Calculated from Canberra's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Canberra time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Canberra the shortest day has about 9 h 47 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 33 min (today: 13 h 32 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 73 to 109 minutes.
Sunrise in Canberra today is 6:00 AM, 6 minutes later on the clock than in Sydney (247 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 1 November the sunrise Tithi in Canberra is Krishna Saptami; in Delhi it is Krishna Saptami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.
Canberra is on Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11), 5 h 30 min ahead of India.
Canberra uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Canberra, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
Canberra shares Sydney's clock but sits further inland and south, so its sunrise and Rahu Kaal fall a few minutes differently. Many Indian families in the capital work in research and the public service, and the Canberra Hindu Mandir in Torrens is a focal point for festivals.
No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Canberra does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Canberra time.
Saturn has been in Meena (Pisces) since 29 March 2025 and moves into Mesha (Aries) in June 2027. Until then Sade Sati runs for Kumbha (Aquarius, last phase), Meena (Pisces, peak phase) and Mesha (Aries, first phase), and Shani Dhaiya for Simha (Leo) and Dhanu (Sagittarius).
No. It is a period of hard work, responsibility and lessons, and for many people it brings lasting results. The report explains your phase and practical steps.
