Secret of Dasha Timing: Getting It Right – Applied Vedic Astrology






Eye on Astrology: Correcting Dashas

When we learn astrology, we have to learn the basics but as we become more experienced, we realize that the depth of the Vedic astrological ocean is sometimes unfathomable and it takes too deep a dive to fix it. Have to put

Take for example the Vimshottari Dasha. The rules are complicated but many customers are frustrated because it doesn’t always work out well. , Why is it like this? Ancient scriptures tell us that if the Moon is in the 2nd or 6th house then we should calculate the initial dasha from the fourth nakshatra from the moon to get the initial dasha. This is called Keshama Vimshottari Dasha and it means if you are born with Moon in second house in Ashwini, instead of starting your life from Ketu Kaal, you will start it in 4 Nakshatras or Rohini or Chandra Kaal . This will toggle all your statuses.

If you have Moon in 8th or 12th house, the classic text tells you to calculate the starting dasa for Moon in Ashwini from 8 nakshatras from the Moon. Your initial dasa in 8th house would be Pushya or Shani. This is called Adhana Vimshottari Dasha.

If you have Moon in your 3rd or 11th house, then you should calculate the starting dasha from the 5th Nakshatra from the Moon of your birth. So if your Moon is in Ashwini Nakshatra, you will count 5 Nakshatras and your initial dasha period will be the period of Mrigashira or Mars.

Dasha Kaal appears in sequence from the correct starting point i.e. Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus and Ketu.

Hence, 1/2 of the people will have moon in 2, 6 or 3, 11 or 8, 12 and hence their manifest dasha period will be different as compared to having moon in 1, 4, 7, 10, 5. , or the 9th is where the regular Vimshottari dasha works.

Some scholars believe that the toggled starting point is especially important if you have a cluster of planets in your centre, i.e. 1, 4, 7, 10 from your Moon.

In practice, I see that this new calculation is working much better. I had a client with Moon in 8th and he was in period of Mercury in regular Vimshottari dasha and exalted Mercury in 3rd and everyone told him that business would be great. By proper calculations, he was in Shani/Ketu which is one of the toughest phases of his life and in the last one year everything had gone haywire which you can expect from that combination.

Lately I try to use 4-5 dasha systems to get the predictions correct and see how they match and I’m trying to figure out Narayan dasha, Charan dasha, proper Vimshottari dasha and special dashas for some charts. I use it when Sun is in 1st or 10th position in Rahu. , I feel it is much easier to predict now whereas the plain old Vinshottari dasha is always pulling teeth. Parashar tells us that Vinshottai Dasha is the king and should work but it is a stretch at times.

My new series of classes, Secrets of the Masters, seeks to bring to the fore these more advanced yet simple techniques to make our job as astrologers easier. If you consult, I’ll use conditions 4-5 to arrive at the basic predictive truth. Sign up for my first Secret of the Masters Part 1. Part 2 on the secrets of Dasha will be in the fall.

Scorpio daily horoscope – 31 May 2022

The energy around you is in tune with a lot of emotions and it’s all for the power of tomorrow’s new moon, and it will continue to act on you and affect your emotions and your heartbeat in the weeks to come. You have a remarkable ability, in the best of times, to pluck the depths of your and other people’s feelings. But still more because of the intensity of what is happening internally and externally. If your emotions are telling you that you feel that way, there’s no such thing as too intense for you today, but you can still keep a lid on it if you have to. What superpower is your moon revealing?

Mercury has entered its shadow zone on the 25th of Virgo – to look back and complete our transformation into Libra and Virgo

The shadow region is defined by the period where a planet turns retrograde, and where it goes directly after the retrograde period. In this case, Mercury turns retrograde on 9th September into Libra. It will retrograde back to the 25th of Virgo, where it stabilizes directly on 2nd October, the birthdays of Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx. It casts a shadow zone between 25 Virgo and 9 Libra, and on August 21 Mercury enters 25 Virgo, the degree where it will go SD in early October. I will be writing some articles about the upcoming retrograde which will be posted as we get closer. So now we begin an 8-week round of three phases on the first 9 degrees of Libra and the last 6 degrees of Virgo. We will have old Virgo and Libra returns related to people and events that affected our lives in the past. It would be “looking back” in memory of past work and partners, past service and the people we once looked up to as equals. It brings up memories of former Virgo and Libra experiences so that...
