• "Something real shifted during [that specific year range]." Natives with this placement report the clearest life inflection during Sun Mahadasha or its Antardasha within other dasha periods, the timing is almost universal when this placement is well-integrated.

Common Life Patterns

• transformation and longevity re-surface as a life theme roughly every 12 years (Jupiter's cycle) and every 2.5 years (Saturn's transit through each house)
