People ask a lot of time, How will be my Jupiter dasha in 2nd house ? How will be the Dasha Saturn in 7th house ? Will it cause trouble to married life and so ? How will be my Rahu Dasha ? How will be dasha of debilitated Moon ? What effects will dasha of a combust planet bring ? and much more of such questions.
Dashas (be Maha Dasha or Antar Dasha) are hot topics of Jyotisha since the realisation of the fruits of fortune depends so much on them. Dasha says when and what a person will experience based upon his birth chart Horoscope. So let’s take a deep look into what causes these dashas to be favourable or unfavourable for person running them.
Before we get started,
What are Dashas in Vedic Astrology ?
Dasha(s) is a planetary time period, a time in lifespan of person which is said to be ruled by a certain planet of his birth chart.
There are various types of Dashas in Jyotisha, namely, Vimshottari Dasha, Yogini Dasha, Chara Dasha of Jaimini Astrology (a sub stream of vedic astrology), etc.
The Vimshottari Maha dasha is the most popular among others dashas. It is being applied by wide number of Jyotishis in their practice. In this post, I will talk about Vimshattari Maha Dasha and its Antar Dashas, and all the rules will be targeted for this Dasha.
How to judge the effects of Vimshottari Maha dasha ?
The total effect of a Dasha will be a combination of many things like 1. Nature of Dasha lord (Natural Benefic or Malefic). 2. His functional abilities (Functional Benefic or Malefic). 3. Dasha lord’s house placement. 4. Dasha lord’s sign placement. 5. His involvement in good or bad yogas. 6. Dasha lord’s house rulership 7. Placement with other planets and aspects. 8. Other dignities like Dig Bala (directional strength), placement in Divisional charts.
For what form of results (or what events of life) a planet will bring, we must see planets’s house and sign placement, which houses he rules and his natural Karakatwas.
For the intensity and auspiciousness of results by dasha lord, we must see how powerful he is in birth chart and in which type of yogas he gets involved.
Some guidelines from astrological texts to predict the effects of dashas
Basics for predicting the nature of effect a Maha dasha will bring :
From the codes of ancient Jyotisha text, it is very clear that planets which are deducted as auspicious from birth chart, will produce good effects during their dashas and other planet which are seen not so favourable will produce not so good effects.
The dasha of the trikona lord is best in my experience, in terms of material fulfilment.
But wait a minute… there is even something more to it.
This make a lot more difference in how a normal person sees a birth chart and how a wise astrologer does.
Any trikona lord (1,5,9) when involved in auspicious Raja yogas, Dhana yogas or any other kind of favourable yogas will produce a very noticeable good effects during his Maha dasha or Antra dasha.
Normally people search for these noticeable good effects in their life and try to find them through the lenses of Jyotisha. But the unequipped sight for looking at the birth chart causes so much of confusion.
If that same trikona lord goes in to bad condition in birth horoscope, it will give mixed kind of effects and these remains same of every other plant and vice versa. Therefore, sight of the person observing a birth chart keeps lot of importance with the complete knowledge of all applicable rules.
Planets with different strengths like Vargottama, placement in good house (kendra and trikona), association with benefics, these all contributes a lot towards planet giving favourable or uplifting effects during his dasha.
Rahu and Ketu behaves as per their placement and conjunction in birth chart, and these is much true even for their dasha effects.
Which dasha can cause extreme good time (Golden period as per person’s fortune) in someone’s life ?
This is most sought after question in jyotisha.
For a time period to be favourable to bring bliss of fortune and noticeable upliftment in lifestyle or career. It is very important that combined effect which causes this bliss should show up in same time. I mean to say, when active Maha dasha and Antar dasha both are of the planets that causes very auspicious yogas or are very auspiciously placed in birth chart, these type of effect which we can call as extreme good time can be experienced by native.
Some astrologers even go so far to say that effects of Maha dasha of Raja yoga causing planet can be realised in the Antar dasha of a planet which is either very favourably placed or even himself causes or be a part of any auspicious yog.
