FreeWhat is Dvisaptati Sama Dasha?
Dvisaptati Sama Dasha is a conditional dasha system with a 72-year cycle. Like Chaturashiti Sama Dasha, this is an "equal period" (Sama) system — all 8 planets receive the same 9-year duration. "Dvisaptati" means 72 (8 × 9 = 72).
The 8 planets included are: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu. Ketu is excluded. The system is applied when the Lagna lord is in the 7th house, connecting it to relationship and partnership themes.
The 9-year period for each planet is significant in Vedic astrology — it corresponds to a Navamsha cycle and has deep connections to the D-9 divisional chart, which is the chart of marriage and dharma in Vedic Astrology.
