What is a horoscope consultation?

A personal horoscope consultation looks at what's ahead using your own Vedic birth chart, not just your sun sign. The astrologer reads your yearly horoscope (Varshphal), your current planetary period (dasha), and major transits such as Sade Sati, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu. From these, they give guidance on timing for career, relationships, finances and decisions in the coming months. At Kavach, forecasts describe tendencies and timing, never fixed events.

Your year ahead

Yearly horoscope: plan the year with your own chart

A yearly horoscope, called Varshphal in Vedic astrology, is cast for the year starting from your birthday. Vedang combines it with your current dasha period and the major transits of the year. The result is a calm overview of which months favour which kinds of decisions, and which call for patience. Many clients book one every year, around their birthday or before the new calendar year.

Book within a month of your birthday for a birthday-to-birthday reading, or in November–December for a calendar-year reading.

Major transits

Sade Sati and the transits that shape your years

Transits are the current movements of the planets through the signs, read against your own birth chart. The slow-moving planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu) shape the longer chapters of life, so they're the ones people ask about most.

How long the major transits last

About 7½ years

Sade Sati

Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn passes through the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign, and the sign after it, in three phases of about 2½ years each. Traditionally it's a period of responsibility, effort and maturing. It isn't a curse, and how it feels depends on your whole chart.

About 2½ years per sign

Saturn transits

Saturn's transit through each house of your chart brings that area of life into focus, through discipline, structure and long-term building. A consultation shows which house Saturn is moving through for you, and how to work with it.

About 1 year per sign

Jupiter transits

Jupiter is traditionally associated with growth, learning and opportunity. Its yearly movement is often used to plan expansions, studies, relocation and family events.

About 1½ years

Rahu and Ketu

The lunar nodes move together, always opposite each other. They're traditionally linked with change, ambition and letting go, in the houses they activate for you.

  • Rising phaseAbout 2½ years

    Saturn moves through the sign before your Moon sign. Traditionally a time when new responsibilities begin to appear.

  • Peak phaseAbout 2½ years

    Saturn moves over your Moon sign itself. Traditionally the most demanding stretch, and often the one that builds the most maturity.

  • Setting phaseAbout 2½ years

    Saturn moves through the sign after your Moon sign. Traditionally a period of consolidation as the pressure eases.

"A difficult transit is a season to prepare for, not a reason to be afraid."

Horoscope FAQ

Questions about horoscope consultation

What is Sade Sati?

Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn passes through the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign, and the sign after it, in three phases of about 2½ years each. It's traditionally linked with responsibility and maturing, not misfortune.

Is Sade Sati bad?

Not necessarily. It's often a demanding but constructive period, and its effect depends on your whole chart, including Saturn's strength and your current dasha. Many people make lasting progress during Sade Sati. It calls for preparation, not fear.

How do I know if I'm in Sade Sati?

It depends on your Moon sign in the Vedic (sidereal) zodiac, which comes from your exact birth details. A consultation confirms whether you're in Sade Sati, which phase you're in, and when it ends.

What is a yearly horoscope (Varshphal)?

Varshphal is the Vedic yearly horoscope, cast for the year starting from your birthday. Combined with your dasha and the year's major transits, it shows the main themes and the favourable and slower months of your year.

How is a personal horoscope different from a daily horoscope?

A daily horoscope is written for everyone with the same sun sign. A personal horoscope uses your exact birth chart, current dasha and the transits to your own planets, so its themes and timing apply to you.

How long does a Saturn transit last?

Saturn spends about 2½ years in each sign, so its transit through each house of your chart lasts about that long. Retrograde periods can shift the exact dates, which are calculated from your chart.

Do I need remedies during Sade Sati?

No remedies are required, and Kavach doesn't sell gemstones or rituals. Guidance focuses on understanding the period, planning around it, and making steady, practical choices.

How much does a horoscope consultation cost in Dubai?

At Kavach, the price depends on the package you choose: a transit check, a yearly horoscope, or a combined yearly horoscope and Kundli reading. A Kundli consultation on its own starts from AED 1,100. Your final quote is confirmed on WhatsApp before booking, with no obligation.
