It is a dasha system based on sign not on the planets.There are two groups of sign in finding chara dasha Odd sign (1,2,3,7,8 and 9) are called Savya rashi whereas even sign(4,5,6,10,11 and 12) are known as upsavya rashi.
Steps involved in calculation
1) If 9th house falls in savya group, then the order of dasha is direct. In case of upsavya group, the order of dasha is reversed.
2) As name suggest dasha period is not constant in this method. Dasha period is dependent on position of lord from its sign. Now if the sign is savya then count the distance between the sign and its lord, in case of upsavya rashi count the distance but in reverse direction.
3) Subtract 1 from the distance; it will give you the period of that particular sign.
4) Some exceptions are there in case of planet posited in its own sign, exalted or debilitated. If sign lord is in its own sign then the period of that sign is 12 years. In case of exaltation add extra 1 year in step 3, and for debilitation of lord subtract 1 year from step 3.
5) In Jaimini system Aquarius and Scorpio have two lords. Aquarius: - Saturn and Rahu Scorpio : - Mars and Ketu
6) To solve this huddle whether to take Saturn or Rahu for lordship of Aquarius. Sage Jaimini discuss all the possible answer to find the actual lord. Different possibilities are: - a) When both conjunct in the same sign.( Follow step 3) b) If one placed in own sign and other in different then opt the second option. c) If both are in different sign then choose the lord having more companion.
If both are having same numbers of planets with themselves then choose
the lord placed in dual sign. (Dual Sign> Fixed Sign>Movable Sign) and
if sign are also same then finally opt the one who give more number of years
in dasha.
Will be back with example chart.....
