FreeWhat is Chaturashiti Sama Dasha?
Chaturashiti Sama Dasha is unique among all dasha systems because it assigns equal 12-year periods to all 7 planets: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. "Chaturashiti" means 84, and "Sama" means equal — hence "84-year equal cycle."
This equal distribution (12 × 7 = 84 years) means no planet dominates the cycle. The system is applied when the 10th house lord is in the Lagna, making it particularly relevant for career-oriented chart analysis.
The 12-year period for each planet corresponds to one Jupiter cycle (Jupiter's orbital period is approximately 11.86 years), giving the system an astronomical foundation that connects each dasha period to a complete Jupiter transit through all 12 zodiac signs.
