स्थिर-दशाSthira-Daśā — Fixed-Sign Periods

Sthira-daśā — Adhy. 3 · Pāda 2 — Sthira-daśā uses fixed periods (7/8/9 years per sign) rather than computed periods. A coarser timing-frame than cara-daśā.

viṣaya-sūcī · what this module covers

  • Sthira ('fixed') — periods do not depend on chart-specific counting
  • Movable signs (cara) — 7 years per sign
  • Fixed signs (sthira) — 8 years per sign
  • Dual signs (dvi-svabhāva) — 9 years per sign
  • Use as cross-check with cara-daśā

01सारांशःThe topic, unfolded

saṃkṣepa

Sthira-daśā ('fixed daśā') is one of Jaimini's secondary daśās. Unlike cara-rāśi-daśā where each rāśi's duration depends on a chart-specific counting rule, sthira-daśā uses fixed per-sign periods: 7 years for movable (cara) signs, 8 for fixed (sthira), 9 for dual-natured (dvi-svabhāva). The total cycle is 4×7 + 4×8 + 4×9 = 96 years.

Interpretive use: sthira-daśā provides a 'rougher' timing frame than cara-daśā and acts as a cross-check. When both cara-daśā and sthira-daśā emphasize the same rāśi or graha in a window, the interpretive signal is stronger. Adhy. 3 · Pāda 2 also covers Niryāṇa-daśā and Sūla-daśā — additional sign-based timing systems with specialized applications (Niryāṇa for longevity-end indications, Sūla for ariṣṭa-class events).

  1. 01 · Computation

    At /jaimini-dasha-deep, identify the current cara-daśā AND the current sthira-daśā for the same chart. Do they emphasize related rāśis or grahas? Where they converge, the classical tradition reads a stronger signal.
