Sade Sati periods

Calculate all Sade Sati periods for a natal chart. Returns rising, peak, and setting phases for each period (first entry, final exit and every stay of Saturn in the sign, so retrograde re-entries are shown), current active status and phase from Saturn's sign on the check date, intensity score (0-100 scale, 40-90 while active), intensity label, and next upcoming period. Optionally check status for a specific date using check_date. Sade Sati is Saturn's 7.5-year transit over natal Moon sign and adjacent signs. Small Panoti (Dhaiya) covers Saturn in the 4th or 8th sign from natal Moon (~2.5 years each). Returns all past, current, and future Sade Sati cycles with phase descriptions.
