| Prediction Using the Vimshottari Dasha System | | Print | |

by Joni Patry for “The Blast” Astrology Conference Sedona, Arizona September 16 - 21, 2008 The dasha system used most commonly is called the Vimshottari Dasha System. The dashas are the planetary cycles of a life based on the placement of the Moon at birth. 9 Cycles of 9 Planets equal 120 years There are nine cycles which include the seven planets, plus the north and south nodes of the Moon (Rahu, Ketu). The outer planets are not used. Each cycle has a designated allotment of years that combine to equal a grand total of 120 years. The ruler of the ruling planet of each dasha is determined by the 27 nakshatras. Each nakshatra is ruled by one of the nine planets and follows in the same sequential order. So where the natal Moon is placed this nakshatra, and the ruling planet of that nakshatra, initiates the beginning of the order of the cycles of life. The planet that rules the main cycle of the dasha is called the maha dasha (major dasha). Within this cycle there are sub cycles called the bhukti. The ruling planets of the maha dasha and the bhukti are then further referred to in the chart by their house rulerships, dispositors, and the houses they are in. Using transits together with current dashas will prove their predictive value.
Nakshatras
Sub CyclesBhuktis and Antara DashasWithin a maha dasha there are sub cycles called the bhuktis or antara dashas. Each maha dasha is divided into nine sub cycles that are also ruled by planets. Again these bhuktis have sub divisions within them called antara dashas. There are further divisions that go down to at least seven levels. I use only the first three levels as beyond that they seem to get more and more subtle (and too complicated) for me. The maha dasha will always be the overall emphasis, the bhukti will be the more immediate and the antara dasha will be more personal. I find the bhukti will reveal the current events in a life.
Priorities in assessing the results of a Maha dasha and Bhukti
The bhukti ruler’s placement and relationship to the dasha ruler tells what the experience will be. Count from the Maha dasha ruling planet to the bhukti ruling planet in forward direction (clockwise). Count the house the Maha dasha ruling planet as house #1, then count from the bhukti ruling planet forward back to the maha dasha ruling planet. Always begin counting the house the planet is in as #1. Spacial Relationships of the Bhukti Ruling Planet counted from the Maha Dasha Ruler 1/1: concentrates on the matters signified by the house the planets are in 7/7: about relationships/connection with other people, marriages and divorce 2/12: gains/losses, money matters 3/11: friendly, competitive, learning, travel and achievement of desires 4/10: action, power, purpose, changes in career or work and changes in residence 5/9: benefic, auspicious, luck, travel, spiritual development 6/8: difficult, losses, enemies, death of loved ones, health problems Charts to be AnalyzedConor Clapton

"Nothing feels worse than the feeling of no control, no choice or freedom. It is like being a child in an abusive home; there is no hope, no way out. But the suggestion that we have free will, the freedom to choose our life and destiny, is invigorating and frees the spirit" |
