#Predicting With Jaimini's Rasi Dasas
#Predicting With Jaimini's Rasi Dasas
#Predicting With Jaimini's Rasi Dasas
By Ernst Wilhelm
www.astrology-videos.com
Jaimini teaches the calculation of his predictive Rasi Dasas in the Chapter 2, Pada 4 of Upadesa Sutras. In addition
to the information in that chapter, Chapter 1, Pada 1 covers the necessary basic principles of Forward/Reverse for
Odd/Even Rasis and Dasa lengths. In this handout I will be covering the exact method of how to predict with
Rasi Dasas, something Jaimini expects us to figure out on our own as he gives little specifics other than the
calculations. It's in understanding the calculations, however, that the secret of the Dasas are revealed, so as always,
Jaimini gives us everything we need to know - we just have to study it deeply.
2.4.1. Dvitiiyam bhaavabalam caranavaamse.
dvitiiyam – Nom. second. bhaavabalam – Nom. house strength. caranavaamse – Loc. moving nine:
partitions, parts; caranavamsa dasa.
The second house strength in the moving navamsa (Caranavamsa Dasa).
The second house strength in the moving nine part (Caranavamsa, Aya, Svakendra, Chatushtaya, Manduka,
Yogarda, Drig, Trikona, Sva).
1. Karakas in a Rasi
2. Cara Karakas in a Rasi
3. Bhava Cusps in a Rasi
4. Padas in a Rasi.
The nature of the experience is dependent upon the nature of the Grahas that influence the Rasi through
conjunction and Rasi aspect.
Saumya Grahas cause concrete experiences that are as comfortable and easy as possible.
Kruura Grahas cause concrete experiences that have stress, hardship and work attached to them.
Masculine Grahas get involved in concrete experiences for the sake of external fulfillment - to create a better
life in the World.
1
Feminine Grahas get involved in concrete experiences for the purpose of internal fulfillment - to create a more
satisfied inner life that contains the many bright "Stars" of love and happiness.
Neuter Grahas get involved for both of the above purposes.
BRAHMIN, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA & SUDRA GRAHAS (Graha Sutras Chapter 11)
Venus and Jupiter are Brahmins.
Sun and Mars are Kshatriyas.
Moon and Mercury are Vaishyas.
Saturn is Sudra.
Ketu is a Mixed Caste.
Rahu is an Outcaste.
Brahmins gain greater understanding through the concrete experiences that they are involved with.
Kshatriyas get stronger and use their will more appropriately through the concrete experiences that they get
involved with.
Sudra Saturn get involved because they have pay for their right for life, which means, to pay their dues.
Mixed Caste Ketu gets involved for all of the above reasons, with the Kshatriya reason being the dominant
reason.
Outcaste Rahu gets involved for reasons that are not the real reasons and also for Sudra reasons.
Sattva Grahas get involved with the concrete experiences of the Rasis because they are inspired to do so.
Rajas Grahas get involved with the concrete experiences of the Rasis due to choosing the experiences in the
hope that the experiences will prove desirable.
Tamas Grahas get involved with the concrete experiences of the Rasis because troubles require them to do so.
The Luminous Grahas, through their concrete experiences, allow the individual to find out about who they
really are and what they really need.
The Starry Grahas allow the individual to find out what their skills and capabilities really are.
The Dark Grahas allow the individual to find out about their dark side.
Birds search and find what works for them. Sun searches for his kingdom, Mercury searches for the best
possible situation.
Creeping forms do whatever it takes to survive and get their needs met.
Biped Grahas progress, with their heads up, and move forward.
Quadruped Grahas have the strength to deal with extremes, Saturn that of carrying great burdens as does an
ox; and Mars that of the strength to deal with critical immediate needs such as a hungry Cheetah chasing
dinner, or that of an antelope running to escape being dinner.
Up looking Grahas strive towards the best outcome they can envision with respect to the concrete things
indicated by the Rasis they influence.
Sideways looking Grahas move towards the obvious possibilities in the concrete things indicated by the Rasis
they influence.
Down looking Grahas bring about the negative possibilities that they dwell upon in respect to the concrete
things indicated by the Rasis they influence.
Grahas that look everywhere equally do all of the above.
Dry Grahas do not comfort or soothe, they take things as they are and expect others to do likewise.
Wet Grahas comfort and soothe and try to make things feel better than the situation merits.
Moist Grahas fall in between the above two states.

MANIFESTING, SEPARATING & OTHER GRAHAS
Mercury, Jupiter and the Lord of a Rasi joining or Rasi aspecting the Rasi assist the Rasi in manifesting its
concrete experiences and in maintaining them. This is Jaimini's Second Strength.
Sun, Saturn the 12th lord from a Rasi serve to separate the individual from the concrete experiences of the
Rasi.
Rahu makes things weak and prone to failure, Ketu puts things on a solid foundation.
Mars fights and Venus heals. Mars is hungry for things while Venus is fulfilled by things. Mars's influence
without Venus's influence indicates an expense of activity with less than needed fulfillment.
Waxing Moon creates external growth, but lack of progress internally. Waning Moon creates inner growth, but
lack of progress externally.
DEGREE OF EFFECTS
The degree of a Grahas desirable and undesirable effects is based on the Grahas dignity:
To change the standard Navamsa Dasa to Caranavamsa simply requires that we use changeable (Cara)
Dasa length as per the Sutra on determining Dasa lengths which is found in Chapter 1 of Upadesa
Sutras:
One of the certain cases where the rule that even Rasis are counted in the reverse is not adhered to
is for the purpose of determing the length of the variable length Dasas. The length of many Rasi Dasas
is dependent upon how far the lord of the Rasi has moved from the Rasi. Since planets move in the
forwards direction from Aries to Taurus, etc. the Dasa lengths are always counted in the forward
direction, no matter whether the Rasi under consideration is odd or even.
If the lord of the Rasi is in the Rasi itself then the length of the Dasa is 12 years. If the lord of the
Rasi is in the second from the Rasi, then the length of the Dasa is one year, and so on.
Some commentators also believe that Rahu and Ketu should be considered as co-lords of Aquarius
and Scorpio and that they also have a say on the Dasa length, but this view is erroneous and not
supported anywhere in the Sutras. It does find support in Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, but I am not of
the opinion that the version of that text that we have available to us is accurate on this point. Not even
a hint of such an idea is found in Jaimini Sutras.
Another similarly erroneous view is that if the lord of the Rasi is exalted, one year is added to the
Dasa length, and that if the lord of the Rasi is debilitated one year is subtracted. Again, this is nowhere
supported in Jaimini’s Sutras, though it is stated in Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra. One obvious problem
with the idea of subtracting a year for a planet in debilitation, as pointed out by KN Rao who does not
follow that idea, is that for Sagittarius Jupiter in Capricorn would give a Dasa length of 0 years – how
can Sagittarius Dasa not have any time?

CALCULATING ANTAR AND BUKTI DASAS
2.4.34. Antarbuktyamsayoretat.
antar – sub. bukti – sub –sub. amsayoh – Loc. Dl. portions. etat – the preceeding.
The preceding in the Antar and Bhukti.
In this sutra which is at the end of the predictive dasas chapter, Jaimini tells us to calculate the Antar and
Buktis in the same manner as the previous directions on calculating the Maha Dasa. As obvious as this is, I
mention this sutra as some people believe that all antardasas should start at the 1st or 7th from the mahadasa
or that the 2nd from the mahadasa should be the first antardasa, but neither of those are stated by Jaimini.
This sutra also lets us know that Rasi Dasas are meant to be calculated down to three levels, not 5 levels as is
done with Vimshottari Dasa.
For timing and event: Look for the similiar event to come up in the Antardasa as that of the Mahadasa and
look for the similiar event to be indicated by the Bhukti as is indicated by the Antardasa. When all three Dasa
levels indicate an event, the event happens. The quality of the event is as per the influences to the Dasa,
Antardasa and Bhukti Rasis. If the Antardasa Rasi is better disposed than the Mahadasa Rasi, then the event
will be strong in the beginning, but wane in a future Antardasa. If the Antardasa Rasi is more badly disposed
than the Mahadasa Rasi then the event can improve later in another Antardasa. Similiarly read the Bhukti in
respect to the Antardasa.
Same House
House from the House
Rasi with the House Lord
Rasi with the Karaka or Jaimini Karaka
Rasi with the Pada
Rasi with dispositor of house lord, or dispositor of house from the house lord.
Rasi with the dispositor of the Karakas
Padas of Rasis of the Above
For seeing the ups and downs of an event: After an event has been given by the Mahadasa, the Antardasas of
any Rasis that hold planets that are influencing the Mahadasa Rasi will create some shift to the event, for good
or ill depending upon the influencing planets. Read the Bhukti the same way in reference to the Antardasa.
For seeing important transition periods that may be periods of termination: For this Jaimini has some special
principles that are invaluable.
2.4.36. Anyathaaanyathaa.
anyathaa – otherwise. anyathaa.
Otherwise – otherwise.
2.3.8. Tatastungaadih.
tatah – then. tunga – prominence, high. aadih – Nom. commencing from.
Then exaltation, etc.
2.3.9. Nisargastatah.
nisargah – Nom. natural condition. tatah – then.
Natural condition then.
Dual Rasi are stronger than the fixed and the fixed are stronger than the moveable.
7
a – denotes comparison. agra – supernumerary, foremost. aayattah – Nom. depending on, resting on. atra – in
this place, then. viseshaat – Abl. even more, difference between, exceedingly, particularly.
Then, the foremost depending on the difference between the resting place.
Count from the Rasis to the lord, the longer count is the stronger as per the Dasa length rule.
Look for these in all Vargas with the Hora being the most important Varga.
Analyze the Aya Dasa with the same principles as we used in the Caranavamsa Dasa.
PREDICTING ALL THINGS WITH THE HELP OF CARANAVAMSA & AYA DASA
Caranavamsa and Aya Dasas almost always point somehow to the most important events that a person may be
going through. Caranavamsa as it indicates the path the person is on and for an event to be extremely
important it has to be part of the individual's path. Aya Dasa as it indicates the fortune in a person's life and
every important event has a huge bearing on the individual's fortune. Thus these two Dasas will almost always
indicate the most important events in the relevant Vargas. These events may be indicated based on the specific
Caranavamsa and Aya Dasa indications thus far taught, or they may be indicated by common Varga
indications:
Or they may be indicated by the Dasa of the critical Rasis in each Varga:
The Rasi holding the critical cusp.
The Rasi holding the critical Pada.
The Rasi holding the critical cusp lord.
The Rasi holding the dispositor of the critical cusp lord.
The Rasi holding the critical cusp from the cusp, its lord, or its dispositor, or its Pada.
The Rasi holding the Karaka or Carakaraka.
The Rasi holding the dispositor of the Karaka or Carakaraka.
The Rasi that is the critical Rasi (or Rasi from the Rasi) from the Karaka or Carakaraka.
The Rasi holding the lord of the critical Rasi (or Rasi from the Rasi) from the Karaka or Carakaraka.
The Rasi holding the dispositor of the lord of the critical Rasi (or Rasi from the Rasi) from the Karaka or
Carakaraka.
The Rasis of the Padas of Rasis of the Above
Or they may be indicated by the Caranavamsa of the critical Rasi as counted from the Sun or AK; or by the
Aya Dasa of the critical Rasi as counted from the Moon or AmK.
Lastly, the Mahadasa of the critical Rasi as counted from Aries can indicate the event.
Svakendra Dasa follows the principles of Jaimini's Third Strength: Planets on angles from the AK are the
strongest, those in 2, 5, 8 and 11 the second strongest and those in 3, 6, 9, and 12 the weakest. In the first part
of life when the self will is most fiery the signs in angles from the AK navamsa run. In the second part of life
the 2, 5, 8 and 11 from the AK navamsa run. And lastly when the self will is most relaxed the 3, 6, 9 and 12
from the AK navamsa run. Dasa length follows the same general principles as for other variable length Dasas.
Look for these in all Vargas with the Drekkana and Bhamsa being the most important Varga. In all Vargas, the
Rasi from Mars and BK are important.
Analyze the Svakendra Dasa with the same principles as we used in the Caranavamsa Dasa.

USING CHATUSHTAYA DASA
Chatushtaya Dasa is important for predicting events that can provide concrete happiness. Happiness is the core
meaning of the 4th Bhava. Life on earth is hard and thus it is difficult to be happy, but a few things in life help
us get away from the stress of these difficulties so that we can relax our minds and allow for the natural
happiness of the soul to pour into our hearts. These are the things of the 4th house and they allow us to take a
break from the hardships and stresses of the world. Property and fortune in wealth from the Chuturthamsa
Varga (D4), vehicles from the Shodamsa (D16) and strongly auspicious events from the Khavedamsa Varga
(D40) are the primary considerations of the 4th Bhava. The primary Graha from the Chaturthamsa is Mercury
for fortune in wealth and Mars for property, Venus for vehicles and the Moon for auspicious events.
Many people would consider the 7th house to be the house of happiness because we all look so hard for
happiness in human relationships, but the fact is that the 7th house more than anything else shows us our lack
of happiness that we see reflected in the condition of our partnerships. The 7th is only a second Bhava of
happiness due to being the 4th from the 4th and thus also ruling 4th Bhava things.
Dasas of Rasis holding the 4th Bhava Karakas (Mercury, Mars, Venus and Moon) and 4th Bhava factors
indicate times when the greatest opportunities for these happiness enhancing opportunities come. The Dasas
during which the individual will put a great deal of energy into something are that of the Rasis holding:
Look for these in all Vargas with the Chaturthamsa, Shodamsa and Khavedamsa being the most important
Vargas. Analyze the Chatushtaya Dasa with the same principles as we used in the Caranavamsa Dasa.
Look at Manduka Dasa to see how much a person's heart is into something.
In respect to actual physical ailments, the 6th house, Saturn and the Trimsamsa are the primary factors
to consider with Niryana Dasa. The Rasi Varga, Mars, and the Gnatikaraka and the 8th are secondary
factors to consider with Niryana Dasa. Don't forget the 6th and 8th from the Karakas and the 6th from
the 6th (the 11th) and the 8th from the 8th (the 3rd). These in all vargas can indicate other stresses that
drain away the life from the body.
Niryana Dasa is not analyzed the same way that the other event timing Dasas. The 2nd source of
strength is not used for assessing Niryana Dasa. Instead, Kruura Grahas cause stress that wears the life
out of the body while Saumya Grahas regenerate and rejuvenate the body.

CALCULATING KALACHAKRA DASA
2.4.18. Siddhaa ududaaye.
siddhaa – Nom. accomplished, thoroughly skilled or versed in. udu – water. daaye – Loc. portion, share.
Accomplished at the water portion.
In this Sutra Jaimini tell us to become accomplished in the Uda Dasa. Uda Dasa refers to Nakshatra
based Dasas. Vimshottari Dasa itself is known as Uda Dasa, and it can be calculated for Rasi
Antardasas so it is very comptabile with Jaimini's system. Jaimini more likely is referring to Kalachakra
Dasa, another well known Dasa of Rasis that is calculated based on the Moon's Nakshatra. Kalachakra
Dasa is the most time senstive Dasa - even small inaccuracies can lead to huge changes in Dasa timing.
The calculation of Kalachakra Dasa is very involved as compared to other Rasi or Nakshatra Dasas.
Essentially the Pada of the Moon is taken and related to a Rasi and this Rasi is called the Amsa, or
portion of the Moon. This portion will rule 83, 85, 86 or 100 years of life. This portion is divided into
nine Rasi Dasas. The length of these Rasi Dasas will depend on the lord of the Rasi: Sun - 5 years,
Moon 21 years, Mars 7 years, Mercury 9 years, Jupiter 10 years, Venus 16 years, Saturn-4 years. The
exact position of the Moon in its Nakshatra Pada determines how much of the Amsa's years are left
and which Dasas have passed and which are to come.
There are two groupings of Nakshatrasa: Regular order or Savya and Reverse order or Apasavya,
which is dependent upon the Forward or Reverse motion of the Moon's Amsa.
13
Depending on the Amsa under which the individual is born they will be a certain type of person:
Examine the Rasi and Navamsa of these signs before coming to conclusions.
In the advent that the individual completes all the Dasas of one Amsa and moves onto the next Amsa, then
the effects of that Amsa will color their life to some degree.
If Sun is in the Deha or Jiva Rasi, there will be danger from fire.
Cruel Moon in the Deha or Jiva Rasi will cause danger from water;
Mars in the Deha or Jiva Rasi will cause fear from weapons;
Cruel Mercury in the Deha or Jiva Rasi will cause fear from windy troubles;
Saturn in the Deha or Jiva Rasi will cause fear from gulma (a disease);
Rahu and Ketu in the Deha or Jiva Rasi will cause fear from poison.
If the Deha or Jiva Rasis are occupied by Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, the native will be wealthy, will enjoy all kinds of
comforts, and will have good health.
Mixed results may be expected if the Deha and Jiva Rasis are occupied by both benefics and malefics.
14
Standard Movement: Dasa moves from Rasi to Rasi.
Manduki: of a Frog - Dasa skipping a Rasi. In Savya indicates trouble from enemies and attacks, problems with
people and troubles to relatives, particularly those indicated by the skipped Rasi. In Apasavya indicates trouble
to spouse and children, fever and loss of status.
Markati: of a Monkey - Dasa moving back to previous Rasi. In Savya indicates loss of wealth and prosperity,
loss of elders, laziness and loss of animals. In Apasavya indicates fear from water, loss of position, death of
father, punishment and wandering.
Leoavalokana: Lion's Backward Glance - Dasa moving to trine Rasi. In Savya indicates physical harm particularly
from accidents or attacks, pain and loss of friends and dear ones, and loss of home. In Apasavya reduction in
rank, death of father or close relative.
106-108. In the Dasa of the Rasis with the Manduki Gati in the Apsavya Chakra, the effects will be distress to wife and
conditions, loss of children, possibility of feverish conditions, and loss of position.
In the Dasa of the Rasis with the Markati Gati in the Apsavya Chakra there may be danger from watery places, loss of
position, distress from father, punishment from Government, and wandering in the forests.
In the Dasa of Rasis with the Simhaavalokana Gati in the Apsavya Chakra, there may be destruction of the dwelling and
death of father, etc..
Directions
BPHS: 112-113. 0 Brahmin! In the Kalachakra Dasa favorable and unfavorable effects may be predicted after taking into
account the directions of the Rasis and Grahas.
Virgo to Cancer: 114-119. If the movement is from Virgo to Cancer, good results are realized in places located in the East
and at that time journeys to the places in the North prove fruitful. Unfavorable effects will be felt in places located in the
West and the South. It will be advisable not to undertake journeys in those directions in the Dasa of these Rasis.
Leo to Gemini: If the movement is from Leo to Gemini, no journey should be undertaken to places located in the East.
However, the journeys to the South-West will prove fruitful in the Dasa of those Rasis.
Cancer to Leo: If the movement is from Cancer to Leo, journeys during that period to the South will prove unfavorable
and result in loss, and the native has to return from the South to the West.
Leo to Cancer: It will not be advisable to undertake journeys to the West during the related period if the movement is
from Leo to Cancer.
15
Pisces to Scorpio: If the movement is from Pisces to Scorpio, there will distress if the native goes to the North.
Sagittarius to Capricorn: The same would happen if the movement is from Sagittarius to Capricorn (there will distress if
the native goes to the North).
Sagittarius to Aries: Going North, there may be ill health, imprisonment, or death if the movement is from Sagittarius to
Aries.
Sagittarius to Scorpio: Going North, there may be gains comforts and property and marriage if the movement is from
Sagittarius to Scorpio.
Favorable results should be predicted if the Rasis are conjunct with benefics and adverse if the Rasis are conjunct with
malefics.
Dasa Effects
129-130. In the Dasa of the Rasis owned by malefics the body and soul will be in distress. The effects will be favourable in
the Dasa of the Rasis owned by benefics. If a malefic Rasi is occupied by a benefic Graha, or if a benefic Rasi is occupied
by a malefic Graha, the effects will be of a mixed nature.
BPHS: Effects of Kalachakra Dasa of the Rasis in Lagna and other Bhavas.
When using the following Sutras from Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, focus on Bhava cusps primarily, secondarily the
Rasi as counted from the Lagna. Also consider similar effects when running the Dasa that holds the lord of a Bhava. The
road of the individual's life will follow the path of the Bhavas as per the Kalachakra Dasa. The road won't be exactly that
as described in the Sutras, but it will relate somehow to the Bhava.
1st Bhava: 131-132. In the Kalachakra Dasa of the Rasi in Lagna the body remains healthy and the native spends a life
with many kinds of comforts. If the Lagna Ras is a benefic one, the good effects are realized fully. If the Lagna Rasi is a
malefic Rasi there is likelihood of ill health. If a Graha in exaltation or in its own Rasi occupies Lagna, the native is
respected by the king or government and acquires wealth.
2nd Bhava: 133-134. In the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in Dhan Bhava, the native receives good food, enjoys happiness of
wife and children, gains wealth, achieves progress in the educational sphere, becomes a clever conversationalist and moves
in good society. If the Rasi be a benefic, good effects are realized in full, otherwise the effects would be of a mixed nature.
3rd Bhava: 135-136. Happiness from co-borns, valour, patience, comforts, acquisition of gold, ornaments, and clothes,
and recognition by the king or government, are the effects in the Kalachakra Dasa of the Rasi in Sahaj Bhava. If the Rasi is
a benefic, the good results are realized in full, otherwise adverse effects may also be experienced.
4th Bhava: 137-138. Good relations with kinsmen, acquisition of land, houses or a kingdom, conveyances and clothes,
and enjoyment of sound health, are the effects of the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in Bandhu Bhava. If the Rasi is a benefic
one, the good effects are realized in full. If it is a malefic Rasi adverse results are also experienced.
5th Bhava: 139-140. Being blessed with wife and children, favors from Government, enjoyment of sound health, good
relations with friends, achievement of fame, good progress in the educational sphere, patience and valour, are the effects
of the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in Putr Bhava. If the Rasi is a benefic one the good results are enjoyed in full. If the Rasi is
a malefic one, adverse effects are also experienced.
6th Bhava: 141-142. Danger from the king (government), fire and weapons, and the possibility of suffering from diabetes,
gulma and jaundice are the effects in the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in Ari Bhava. If the Rasi is a malefic one, the above
adverse effects will be experienced in full. There will be some mitigation of the evil effects in the case of a benefic Rasi.
7th Bhava: 143-144. Marriage, conjugal happiness, being blessed with children gain of agricultural products, cows and
clothes, favors and recognition from the king (government), and achievement of fame, are the effects in the Chakra Dasa
of the Rasi in Yuvati Bhava. The beneficial results will be experienced in full if the Rasi is a benefic one. Meager good
effects will be realized in the case of a malefic Rasi.
16
8th Bhava: 145-146. Destruction of a residential house, distress, loss of wealth, poverty, and danger from enemies, are the
effects of the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in Randhr Bhava. The adverse effects will be realized in full in the Rasi is a malefic
one. Some mitigation in evil effects may be expected in the case of a benefic Rasi.
9th Bhava: 147-148 Happiness with wife, children, house, agricultural activities, performance of good and pious deeds,
progress in religious inclinations and privilege of moving in the society of great religious leaders are the effects in the
Chakra Dasa of the Rasi of the 9th Bhava. The good results will be realized in full in the case of a benefic Rasi. Very
meager good effects will be experiences in the event of the sign being a malefic one.
10th Bhava: 149-150 Acquisition of Kingdom, recognition from the kin, happiness from wife and children, success in
ventures and performance of pious deeds are the effects in the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in the 10th. The good results will
be realized in full in the case of a benefic Rasi. Good effects will be few in the event of the Rasi being malefic.
11th Bhava: 151-152 Happiness from wife, children and kinsmen, receipt of favors from government, acquisition of
wealth and clothes and association with good people are the effects in the Chakra Dasa of the Rasi in the 11th Bhava. The
good effects will be enjoyed in full in the case of a malefic Rasi. Very little good will happen in the Rasi of a malefic.
12th Bhava: 153-154 Failure in efforts and ventures, pain in the body, loss of position, poverty and unnecessary
expenditures are the effects in the Kalachakra Dasa of the Rasi in the 12th Bhava. The adverse effects will be experiences
in full in the case of a malefic Rasi. Some good may happen in the Rasi of a benefic.

56-58. Maharishi Parashara said to Maitreya: O Brahmin! The effects of Antardasas in the Kalachakra Dasa
which have been described above are based on Savya Chakra. The effects of Antardasas in the Dasas of the
Rasis in the Apsavya Chakra have to be assessed in the same way. The peculiarity in this respect is that
inauspicious results have been ascribed to malefics, but, if during the Antardasa the Graha concerned is a friend
of the lord of the Dasa, the results of the Antardasa will be favorable. If the Graha concerned is a benefic, but
an enemy of the lord of the Dasa, his Antardasa effects will not prove favorable. This is how the Antardasa
effects have to be analyzed and conclusions arrived at.
In Addition to the specific Antardasa results mentioned in Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, the effects of the
Dasas of the Houses as per the Mahadasas also apply, as do the effects of Manduki, Markati and Simhavalokana
Dasa movements and the effects of the directions. Also, read the Yogas related to the Antardasa Rasi.
Venus is the most important planet as ultimately it is Venus that determines what is worth doing, what the
effort required is worth the fulfillment given. Venus's importance in determining our path is shown by it being
the brightest of the five starry planet. The cornerstone of Kalachakra Dasa is the Moon as it is the Moon's
Nakshatra Pada that is used to calculate Kalachakra Dasa. Venus and the Moon both have a shared agenda of
fulfilling the individual. The Moon is the individual's psychological capacity to feel fulfilled, so that part is up to
the individual; Venus is anything in the world that makes a person feel fulfilled, which is to say, the things that
give the Moon, the psychology of the individual, an opportunity for fulfillment. These two Grahas work
together in this, which is shown by their Shad Bala value connection. The Moon is exalted in earthy Taurus, a
Rasi of Venus, which shows that a healthy psychology is grounded in reality and capable of experiencing a level
of fulfillment with the things in the world in a realistically achievable way. The Moon is, however, an enemy to
Venus which illustrates that an individual who expects the world to make them happy rather than realizing that
one has to have the capacity for happiness, will ruin any chance of fulfillment - and this is what happens when
the Moon joins or strongly aspects Venus as per the Lajjitaadi Avasthas.
