Sade Sati and Dhaiya dates for every Moon sign

Common questions
How do I know my Moon sign?
Sade Sati is read from the Moon sign. Make your free kundli to find it, or look it up by your name's first letter on the rashifal page.
Can I marry or start something during Sade Sati?
Yes. Good events are timed by your dasha and muhurat; Sade Sati alone is no reason to wait.
Which phase is the hardest?
Usually the middle phase, when Saturn is on the Moon sign itself.
