Kalachakra Dasha is the "Wheel of Time" system based on Moon's Navamsa position, creating a 144-year cycle. Signs run in two patterns: Savya (clockwise) and Apsavya (counterclockwise).

Jaimini Chara Dasha uses signs rather than planets as period rulers, with each sign lasting 1-12 years based on its distance from its lord.
