One hundred useful hints about interpretation of vimshottary dasa

 

Accuracy of our predictions depend on our ability to interpret the results of Vimshottary Dasa. Interpretation of Natal Chart tells us the promises hidden in the chart and events likely to happen in our life. But when will these events happen is revealed by Dasa and Antardasa. Even some of events revealed in the chart may actually not happen if dasa revealing those events do not come at the appropriate time of life. Moreover a bad dasa at the time of career making time of a young man may affect his whole career even if he is very brilliant. On the other hand a native who is less brilliant than him but having good dasa at the time of start of his career, may make a better career. Hence every astrologer should put in sufficient efforts in learning the skill of interpretation of results of Dasa and Antardasa. Many types of dasas are there in two main schools of astrology viz Parashari and Jaimini. Although all students of astrology should learn secrets of interpretation of each type of dasa, but they should have mastery over at least two types of dasas i.e. Vimshottary Dasa in Parashari System and Char Dasa in Jaimini System. This article contains one hundred useful hints about interpretation of results of Vimshottary Dasa. I will be happy to write about Char Dasha also at some later time if this article is helpful to students of astrology.

1. Different planets represent different things and different professions. The results given by a planet by sitting in a house and by aspecting a bhava and by conjunction with a planet are given in dasa of that planet. Planets also give results in respect of things for which they are ‘karka’. If a planet is strong the matters for which he is karka prosper; if he is week and afflicted ,these suffer. If the planet is strong and well placed, he would show good effects pertaining to matters governed by the house or houses he is lord of.

2.Week planets do not give any results. It is said that they give results only in dreams. One may imagine about those results but may never enjoy them.

 3.Planets give good  results when they are  in good house from lagna , when they are in own house, house of exaltation, in friend’s house and when aspected by benefic planets or by their friends or when in conjuction with benefic or friendly planets.

 4.Malefic planets give good results in third, sixth and eleventh house. They also give good results when     exalted or in upachaya houses.

 5. If MD or AD lord is enemy of lagna lord then there may be loss of wealth and increase in enemies.

 6. Following planets give promotion or power in their dasa. Tenth lord, ninth lord when in tenth house, lagna lord when in10th house and when 9th and 10th lord have PAC connection.

  7.According to Sh Gopesh Kumar Ojha lords of the sixth and eighth houses show good effects in respect of matters pertaining to these houses if they are strong and associated with benefics but they should not be stronger than the lord of the Ascendant.

   8. If lord of 12th is very much afflicted and a malefic is in 12th house and if the lord of the sixth house is stronger than the lord of the Ascendant, there may be imprisonment in dasa of 12th lord.

   9.Lord of the 12th as counted from each of the houses will  be detrimental  to the house from which it is  the       12th lord.

   10. If the lord of 8th owns first or fifth or ninth house also and is posited in the 8th,he confers good results      during its dasa.

   11. A natural malefic does not become a benefic only by virtue of lordship of an angle. He becomes a       benefic when he owns a trine also.

    12. Planets which have been described as malefic may cause illness, but if placed in their own house(except lord of 2nd in the 2nd and lord of 7th in the 7th ),they will confer good results pertaining to the house they occupy and own.

    13. Dasa of fifth lord, especially an afflicted fifth lord can cause sudden rough patches in one’s career.

    14. Dasa of third lord is particularly unfavourable for parents.

    15.A planet may give following types of results in its MD/AD:-

                A) In respect of matters for which he is a karka or which is signified by it.

               B)In respect of houses they lord. Matters governed by each house are given in detail in various books                of astrology. If a planet is strong and well placed, he would show good effects pertaining to matters                      governed by the house he is lord of. Similarly if a planet is strong the matters for which he is a  karka prosper.

     16. There are favourable and unfavourable mahadashas for various ascendants which should not be     ignored. It should be considered whether the concerned planet is a functional benefic or malefic for the ascendant concerned.

      17.Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Mars are considered malefics and they are supposed to give separation from the events of the houses they influence, provided  their malefic effects are not cancelled or balanced by influence of benefics.

     18. A planet remains in the influence of 10th lord or planets placed in tenth from its position and the good or bad results during the sub-period of the planet depend on the nature of the planets placed in the 10th from it.

    19. Rahu and Ketu, if unassociated with other planets give results of Saturn and Mars respectively. Rahu and Ketu carry the effects of the planet with whom they are associated with and by whom they are aspected and these effects are also seen in their aspect value. Apart from this the dispositor of Rahu and Ketu are also influenced by them and carry the good and bad effects of Rahu and Ketu in their aspect. Such results are seen during the main/sub period of such dispositor

    20. The results of Dasha/Antardasha of a planets should not be predicted  without taking the principles of     friendship, enmity and neutrality into consideration.

     21. The sub period of a planet who is influencing a particular house in the major period of a planet who is also influencing the same house produces excellent results pertaining to that house. In such a condition malefic planet will give unfavourable results and benefic planet give favourable results. If one of major or sub-period lord is attached to a particular house, results pertaining to the house or houses will be average and results will be negligible if neither of the major or sub-period lord is influencing a particular house.

     23.  Dasha of twelfth lord is capable to bring about transfer or shifts.
