🪐 Chicago, Illinois
Saturn's transit is the same for everyone on Earth, but its effect depends on your own Moon sign. Enter your name and date of birth and Zodastro tells you which phase you are in, when it started, when it ends and what helps.

Saturday is Shani's day. Many people in Chicago 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 Chicago are below.
Saturday 7 November in Chicago: sunrise 6:30 AM, Rahu Kaal 9:02 AM – 10:18 AM, Tithi Krishna Chaturdashi.
| Day (Vara) | Ravivar (Sunday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Ashtami until Mon 2 Nov, 1:41 AM |
| Nakshatra | Pushya (pada 3) until Sun 1 Nov, 5:00 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:23 AM / 4:44 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 3:27 PM – 4:44 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:13 AM – 11:54 AM |
All times are Chicago local time (Central Standard Time, UTC−6). Calculated from Chicago's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Chicago time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Chicago today lasts 10 h 22 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 8 min to 15 h 14 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 68 to 114 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Chicago today is 6:23 AM, 33 minutes earlier on the clock than in Atlanta (948 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 1 November the sunrise Tithi in Chicago is Krishna Ashtami; in Delhi it is Krishna Saptami. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Chicago.
Chicago is on Central Standard Time (UTC−6), 11 h 30 min behind India.
Chicago uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Chicago, 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.
Chicago's Devon Avenue has been the heart of Indian life in the Midwest for decades, and the Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Temple in Aurora is one of the region's main temples. Central Time is 10 h 30 min to 11 h 30 min behind India, so festival dates often fall a day earlier than the Indian calendar suggests.
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.
No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Chicago does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Chicago time.
