That is the reason, the native suffer for a longer time in life in the hands of Saturn.

To know the onset of Shani dhaiya, add 90 degrees and three rashi or 210 degrees Jeevenrashi in the Longitude of Natal Moon. The sum total of this addition is the beginning time of Saturn dhaiya. When Saturn completes the sum total of Moon longitude and 120 degrees or 240 degrees the native’s dhaiya comes to an end.
