Sade Sati peak hit hard — job loss, breakup, family loss, and feeling completely alone
Hey everyone, I don’t usually post, but I’ve been going through a really intense phase and felt like sharing here might help me process it—and maybe hear from others who’ve been through something similar. I’m currently in the peak phase of Sade Sati. In my D1 chart, I have a conjunction of Moon, Mars, and Saturn in Taurus ascendant (Moon around 6°, Saturn around 24°), and Saturn is considered a yogakaraka for my chart. During the rising phase of this period, things actually started going well for the first time in my life. I got into my first relationship and landed my first decent job. Before that, I always had constant anxiety about my career—I started quite late around 26, and there was always this pressure of “what will I even do in life?” But during the peak phase, everything kind of collapsed at once. I lost my job — I was working at a very small startup. They terminated me saying there wasn’t enough work. They’re still holding my 2 months’ salary with vague reasons related to “tax,” and I don’t even know if I’ll get it. My manager said I’ll get exit documents, but that’s still uncertain. I went through a breakup — my first relationship ended, and that has been really hard to process. I also experienced my first death in the family — my grandmother passed away. We weren’t extremely close, but witnessing it at home affected me more than I expected. On top of all this, my support system feels like it’s falling apart too. I have a few close friends, but one of them has completely ghosted me after I opened up about what I’m going through. Others are there, but I don’t really feel understood or supported. I’ve started noticing some bitterness building inside me towards them, even though I don’t show it outwardly. Mentally, it’s been very unstable. During the day, I distract myself and feel somewhat okay. But nights hit really hard—I start overthinking, feeling vulnerable, doubting myself, sometimes even breaking down. I’ve been applying for jobs, getting some responses, but mostly rejections like “not a good fit,” which just adds to everything. Right now, I’m dependent on my parents again for basic expenses, even things like gym or daily needs, and that’s also affecting my self-esteem. I think what hurts the most is not just the events themselves, but the feeling of going through all of this without consistent emotional support. I find myself wishing I had someone who would just check in and ask how I’m holding up. If anyone here has gone through a similar phase—especially during Sade Sati or any intense life period—how did you cope with it? Did things actually turn around after this? Also open to hearing any insights about what this phase might be trying to teach or how to navigate it better. Appreciate anyone who took the time to read this.
