🪐 Kochi, Kerala
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 Kochi 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 Kochi 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 Kochi are below.
Saturday 31 October in Kochi: sunrise 6:15 AM, Rahu Kaal 9:11 AM – 10:40 AM, Tithi Krishna Shashthi.
| Day (Vara) | Shanivar (Saturday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Shashthi until Sat 31 Oct, 4:58 PM |
| Nakshatra | Ardra (pada 4) until Sat 31 Oct, 7:11 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:15 AM / 6:02 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 9:11 AM – 10:40 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:44 AM – 12:32 PM |
All times are Kochi local time (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30). Calculated from Kochi's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Kochi time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Kochi today lasts 11 h 47 min. Over the year it ranges from about 11 h 33 min to 12 h 42 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 87 to 95 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Kochi today is 6:15 AM, 3 minutes later on the clock than in Bengaluru (368 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Kochi is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
Kochi does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
Kerala has its own deep astrology tradition, and in Kochi horoscope matching before marriage is close to universal. Onam, Vishu and the Malayalam month of Chingam follow the solar calendar, so Sankranti dates (when the Sun changes sign) matter here as much as Tithis.
No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Kochi does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Kochi 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.
