🪐 Los Angeles, California
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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles are below.
Saturday 31 October in Los Angeles: sunrise 7:11 AM, Rahu Kaal 9:54 AM – 11:15 AM, Tithi Krishna Saptami.
| Day (Vara) | Shanivar (Saturday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Saptami until Sun 1 Nov, 1:22 AM |
| Nakshatra | Punarvasu (pada 3) until Sat 31 Oct, 5:09 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 7:11 AM / 6:01 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 9:54 AM – 11:15 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:14 PM – 12:58 PM |
All times are Los Angeles local time (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC−7). Calculated from Los Angeles's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Los Angeles time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Los Angeles today lasts 10 h 49 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 53 min to 14 h 26 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 74 to 108 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Los Angeles today is 7:11 AM, 20 minutes earlier on the clock than in San Jose (492 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Los Angeles is Krishna Saptami; in Delhi it is Krishna Shashthi. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is on Pacific Daylight Time (UTC−7), 12 h 30 min behind India.
Los Angeles uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Los Angeles, 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.
Southern California's Indian community stretches from Artesia's "Little India" to Irvine and the San Fernando Valley. The Malibu Hindu Temple, dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, is a landmark for families across Los Angeles.
No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Los Angeles does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Los Angeles 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.
