Overview

Chara Dasha from Jaimini astrology uses signs (rashis) instead of planets. Key features:

  • Sign-Based: Each sign rules a period based on its lord's position
  • Variable Length: Period length varies (1-12 years) unlike fixed Vimshottari
  • Karakas: Uses Jaimini karakas (AK, AmK, BK, etc.) for prediction
  • Best For: Career, status, marriage timing, and major events
