Shodashottari Dasha — 116-year nakshatra dasha cycle (BPHS Adhyaya 46 group). 8 planets (Rahu excluded, Ketu included), seed nakshatra = Pushya (8). Sequence: Sun(11)→Mars(12)→Jupiter(13)→Saturn(14)→Ketu(15)→Moon(16)→Mercury(17)→Venus(18). Distribution: 3 planets get 4 nakshatras, 5 get 3. Per AmatyaKaraka tradition: applicable when lagna in Chandra hora during Krishna paksha OR Surya hora during Shukla paksha (informational; dasha is computed regardless). Algorithm port of PyJHora shodasottari.py.
