Shani Dasha is a period in Vedic astrology that focuses on the influence of the planet Saturn (Shani) on an individual's life. This phase lasts for seven and a half years and is believed to bring challenges, lessons, and opportunities for growth. It is often associated with hard work, discipline, and the need for patience. During Shani Dasha, individuals may experience significant changes in their personal and professional lives. The effects can vary based on one's birth chart and the position of Saturn. While some may face difficulties, others may find success through perseverance and self-reflection.
