Every Six-Star type passes through Daisakkai once every twelve years. The three years are always Shadow, Halt, and Decline in that order — but which calendar years they land on depends entirely on your type. A Mars-Plus is in Halt right now in 2026. A Saturn-Plus has three more building years before Shadow opens for them in 2029. A Uranus-Plus just exited Daisakkai last year and is in Seed.
This article is the per-type rundown. For each of the twelve Six-Star types, the next two Daisakkai windows (out to the early 2040s) plus a short read on what the three years tend to emphasize for that type's temperament. Jump to your section below.

If you do not yet know your star type, the free Six-Star reading returns it from your birth date in seconds. The 2026 short answer — which types are in Daisakkai right now — is also available in the Is 2026 my Daisakkai? article.
A note on dates: Six-Star Astrology uses the Gregorian calendar year. Phases turn over at the new year, not at any birthday. The years below are inclusive — "2029-2031" means Shadow 2029, Halt 2030, Decline 2031.
How to read each section
For each type below:
- Next Daisakkai — the next three-year window opening for you.
- Following Daisakkai — the one after that, twelve years later.
- Where you are in 2026 — your current phase, for context.
- What this type usually finds hardest — the area of life the Daisakkai tends to test most for this temperament. Not a prediction. A pattern, drawn from the traditional commentaries on each type's strengths and weaknesses.
The "what this type finds hardest" notes are oriented to the historical Hosoki literature's framing of each star type. They are interpretive, not deterministic. Read them as starting points.
Saturn-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2029–2031 (Shadow 2029, Halt 2030, Decline 2031) Following Daisakkai: 2041–2043 Where you are in 2026: Reunion
Saturn-Plus is the system's reliable, structural type — patient, methodical, and most comfortable when a long plan is in motion. The Daisakkai years tend to be hardest on Saturn-Plus around work continuity. The temperament is built to keep going; the three-year pause asks it to actually pause, which feels counterproductive even when it is necessary.
If you are Saturn-Plus, your next Daisakkai opens in 2029. The years from now to then are the building years — Reunion this year, Prosperity in 2027, Stability in 2028. Use them. Build the kind of business, savings, and routines that can run on autopilot for three years without you driving them. Your Daisakkai is easier the more you have set up to coast.
Saturn-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2030–2032 (Shadow 2030, Halt 2031, Decline 2032) Following Daisakkai: 2042–2044 Where you are in 2026: Confusion (the middle "small kill year")
Saturn-Minus carries the same structural patience as Saturn-Plus, with a more inward, contemplative cast. The Daisakkai years tend to test Saturn-Minus around isolation — the temperament's natural inwardness gets amplified by the cycle, and Saturn-Minus types in Halt often describe a feeling of disappearing from social view.
2026 is your Confusion year — a "small kill" warning, not the full Daisakkai but a related concept. Slow down. Avoid stress decisions. Then 2027 (Reunion) through 2029 (Stability) are your last three building years before your real Daisakkai opens in 2030.
Venus-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2027–2029 (Shadow 2027, Halt 2028, Decline 2029) Following Daisakkai: 2039–2041 Where you are in 2026: Stability (last "easy" year before Daisakkai)
Venus-Plus is sociable, charming, and most alive when in relationship — partnerships, audiences, networks. The Daisakkai tends to be hardest on Venus-Plus around social withdrawal. The temperament does not enjoy quiet, and Halt in particular asks for a kind of stillness that Venus-Plus reads as loneliness.
You are about to enter Daisakkai. 2026 is your last "open" year before Shadow begins in 2027. Use this year to finish what you have started, settle the relationships that need settling, and build a financial cushion. The three years that follow ask the temperament to do its work alone.
Venus-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2028–2030 (Shadow 2028, Halt 2029, Decline 2030) Following Daisakkai: 2040–2042 Where you are in 2026: Prosperity (a peak year)
Venus-Minus shares the sociability of Venus-Plus with a more grounded, sensory cast — Venus-Minus types often care intensely about home, food, comfort, and the texture of daily life. The Daisakkai tends to test Venus-Minus around financial sustainability, especially because the type's peak Prosperity years sometimes encourage purchases that the following Shadow year cannot afford to maintain.
You are at a high point — 2026 is your Prosperity year, and your last building year before Shadow is 2027 (Stability). Be careful with the temptation to upgrade your life during Prosperity in ways that lock you into commitments you'll meet during Halt. Daisakkai-prepared Venus-Minus types tend to be the ones who held back on the upgrade.
Mars-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2025–2027 (already in it — Halt 2026, Decline 2027) Following Daisakkai: 2037–2039 Where you are in 2026: Halt
Mars-Plus is direct, fast, action-oriented, and most uncomfortable with the verb "wait." The Daisakkai tends to be hardest on Mars-Plus around impulse decisions — the temperament's reflex is to do something when the situation feels stuck, and Halt is the year when that reflex causes the most damage.
You are in the deepest year of your Daisakkai right now. The classical advice is at its most conservative for Mars-Plus in Halt: do not act on the urge to fix the stuckness. The stuckness is the design. 2027 is Decline, your release year. Then 2028 (Seed) begins the new cycle and the urge to act is finally cycle-aligned again.
Mars-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2026–2028 (Shadow 2026, Halt 2027, Decline 2028) Following Daisakkai: 2038–2040 Where you are in 2026: Shadow
Mars-Minus has the same forward velocity as Mars-Plus but with a more strategic, slow-build cast. The Daisakkai tends to test Mars-Minus around strategic patience — knowing when not to advance — and Shadow is the year when that test starts.
You are entering Daisakkai now. Shadow this year, Halt next, Decline in 2028. The first thing to know: the energy you are running on is already lower than you can feel, and Shadow is for auditing, not for new moves. The Mars-Minus instinct to "use this quiet period to plan the next campaign" needs to be resisted. Plan, yes; launch, no. Launch in 2029.
Uranus-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2035–2037 (Shadow 2035, Halt 2036, Decline 2037) Following Daisakkai: 2047–2049 Where you are in 2026: Seed
Uranus-Plus is unconventional, inventive, and most comfortable with non-linear paths. The Daisakkai tends to test Uranus-Plus around commitment follow-through — the temperament starts more projects than it finishes, and Halt is the year that asks for finishing.
You just exited Daisakkai (2023–2025) and are in fresh Seed. The next nine years are wide-open building years for you; the next Daisakkai is far away. Use the runway. This is the cycle position with the longest planning horizon — make the long bets that need years to mature.
Uranus-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2024–2026 (already in it — Decline 2026 is the closing year) Following Daisakkai: 2036–2038 Where you are in 2026: Decline
Uranus-Minus shares the unconventional cast of Uranus-Plus with a more private, internal-experimentation tendency. The Daisakkai tends to be hardest on Uranus-Minus around physical depletion — the temperament tends to live inside its own head and notices body warnings late, which Decline punishes more than most types.
You are in Decline, the closing year of your Daisakkai. The classical advice is unusually firm: health, sleep, recovery come first. Do not make Decline productive. 2027 begins a new cycle for you (Seed), and the new energy will arrive — but Decline has to actually be Decline for the new cycle to start clean.
Jupiter-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2033–2035 (Shadow 2033, Halt 2034, Decline 2035) Following Daisakkai: 2045–2047 Where you are in 2026: Bloom
Jupiter-Plus is expansive, generous, and most alive when projects are growing. The Daisakkai tends to test Jupiter-Plus around scale that cannot be sustained — the temperament likes to grow things, and the three-year window arrives just when the previous growth was tempting an even bigger growth.
You are in Bloom — early growth, visibility, opportunity. You have seven building years before your next Daisakkai. The risk pattern for Jupiter-Plus is loading up the Achievement and Prosperity years (2029, 2031) with commitments whose maintenance cost peaks in your Halt year (2034). Plan the scale of what you build with the Daisakkai already on the calendar.
Jupiter-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2034–2036 (Shadow 2034, Halt 2035, Decline 2036) Following Daisakkai: 2046–2048 Where you are in 2026: Sprout
Jupiter-Minus shares the expansiveness of Jupiter-Plus with a more diplomatic, networked cast — Jupiter-Minus types often hold large social and professional graphs. The Daisakkai tends to test Jupiter-Minus around network maintenance — the cycle's lower energy makes the temperament's natural connectedness more expensive than it usually is.
You are in Sprout, the quiet second year of a new cycle. Eight building years before Shadow opens in 2034. Use the time to develop the kind of relationships and partnerships that can run with low maintenance during the Daisakkai. The deepest, oldest connections you build now are the ones that hold during Halt.
Mercury-Plus
Next Daisakkai: 2031–2033 (Shadow 2031, Halt 2032, Decline 2033) Following Daisakkai: 2043–2045 Where you are in 2026: Achievement (a peak year)
Mercury-Plus is sharp, communicative, and most alive when ideas are flowing. The Daisakkai tends to test Mercury-Plus around communication exhaustion — the temperament uses words constantly, and Halt is the year the words run dry in a way that feels disorienting.
You are at a peak right now — 2026 is your Achievement year. Five building years remain before Shadow opens in 2031. The most useful thing Mercury-Plus can do in the lead-up to Daisakkai is to develop one or two non-verbal practices (movement, manual work, time outdoors) that will carry the temperament through the year the words go quiet.
Mercury-Minus
Next Daisakkai: 2032–2034 (Shadow 2032, Halt 2033, Decline 2034) Following Daisakkai: 2044–2046 Where you are in 2026: Weakness (the "small kill year")
Mercury-Minus shares Mercury-Plus's verbal facility with a more analytical, internalizing cast. The Daisakkai tends to test Mercury-Minus around overthinking the cycle itself — the temperament's instinct to analyze can extend the experience of Daisakkai well beyond the three calendar years, which the system would not endorse.
You are in Weakness — the "small kill year," a single year of caution, not a Daisakkai year but a related warning. Do not catastrophize 2026. The full Daisakkai is six years away. Use Weakness to settle into a less anxious relationship with the cycle. The temperament will need that practice when Shadow opens in 2032.
How this is calculated
The numbers above are not interpretations — they come straight from the canonical practitioner tables that the system is built on. Each Six-Star type starts the twelve-year cycle on a fixed reference year:
- Saturn-Plus: 1924 is Seed
- Venus-Plus: 1922 is Seed
- Mars-Plus: 1920 is Seed
- Uranus-Plus: 1918 is Seed
- Jupiter-Plus: 1916 is Seed
- Mercury-Plus: 1914 is Seed
Each Minus polarity sits one position behind its Plus counterpart in the same star group. From those anchors, modular arithmetic does the rest: subtract the reference year from the year you want, take the result mod 12, and look up the phase. The full math is implemented in lib/sixstar/cycle.ts if you want to verify any year yourself.
What to do with this information
If your Daisakkai is years away, the runway matters. Use the building years (Seed through Stability) to set up the kind of life that can coast through three years of quiet. That means: businesses that do not require constant founder attention, finances with cushion, relationships that do not need crisis maintenance, and personal habits that survive without external motivation.
If your Daisakkai is now or imminent, the how to survive Daisakkai guide is the practical playbook — what the three years actually ask of you, the classical don'ts read in their modern form, and a phase-by-phase breakdown of Shadow, Halt, and Decline.
For people in active Daisakkai right now in 2026 — Mars-Plus, Mars-Minus, and Uranus-Minus — the 2026 short answer page covers exactly what kind of year this is for you and what the system recommends. For the deeper background on what Daisakkai is in the first place, the explainer article is the page to start on.
The Daisakkai is fixed for your type. You cannot avoid it; you can only meet it well. Knowing when it arrives is the first step.
