here are many tools of analysis

described in ancient astrological

literature. One such tool is

Dasa System. Out of 42 Dasa Systems

mentioned by Parasara, Vimshottari

Dasa is mostly used. This Dasa System

supplemented with the transit of Jupiter and

Saturn in the natal Sarvastakavarga is used

for timing any event in human life.

Service is considered from the

Artha Trikona (the 2nd, the 6th and the

10th houses) of Birth Ascendant and the

Moon Sign. Of these, the 10th house is

most important as it refers to occupation,

profession, means of livelihood and

dignity. Service and allied events may

fructify in the Dasa of following planets:

(1) Lords of the Artha Trikona;

(2) Planets posited in the Artha

Trikona;

(3) Planets aspecting the Artha

Trikona;

(4) Planets aspecting or

associating with the lords of

Artha Trikona; and

(5) Planets forming special

yogas

T

These planets may influence the above planets either as lords of major period

(Maha Dasa) or lords of sub – periods / sub – sub periods, etc.

The sub – period of planets capable of influencing the 10th house indicate excellent

results pertaining to the 10th house provided both are in harmonious position in relation to each

other.

Planets Forming Special Yogas:

The four houses, viz., 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th counted from the Ascendant are termed as

kendras (Quadrants) and the two house, viz., 5th and 9th as Trikonas (Trines). The lords

of these six houses are termed as Karakas as per dictum.

केन्द्र ेकोण ेकारका भावनाथा भाव प्रीप ृं and give good results in their Dasa period.

If a planet simultaneously owns a Kendra and a Kona he becomes Yogakaraka for

that ascendant and indicates excellent results in his Dasa (Period). Three planets i.e.

Mars, Venus and Saturn become Yogakaraka. Mars is yogakaraka for Cancer and Leo

ascendants; Venus for Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants; and Saturn for Taurus and

Libra ascendants.

Rahu and Ketu as Yogakaraka:

Each of them becomes yogakaraka if

(i) posited in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, & 10th house) and combined with or

aspected by a Trinal Lord (Lord of 5th or 9th house); or

(ii) posited in a Trikona (5th or 9th house) and combined with or aspected by a

Kendra Lord.

Special Yogas:

These yogas are generated when the lord of a Kendra is related to the lord of a

Trikona in any one of the following four ways:

(1) In each other’s house; or they exchange their houses;

(2) They associate in a house; or

(3) Mutual aspect (i.e. both aspect each other); and

(4) One side aspect. This is possible in the case of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn who

have special aspects. Mars aspects 4th and 8th sign; Jupiter, 5th and 9th sign;

and Saturn, 3rd and 10th sign.

Special yogas are to be identified in natal horoscope. Some of these yogas become

ineffective if the Karaka planets are blemished on account of their lordship of bad houses. It is

the Dasa period of planets forming effective yogas which indicate service and rise in

career. These effective yogas are given in the following table:

Transit Effects:

The Dasa effects are supplemented with the effects of transiting planets. The

transits of Jupiter and Saturn are of primary importance. Their transit in a house having

more than 25 benefic dots in the Sarvastaka Varga indicates good results. The timing of the

event can be further narrowed down by using the 8 Kakshya division and

Parasarashtakavarga.

The chart as developed in Jhora is given below:

Lord of 2nd is Saturn, 6th is Venus, and 10th is Mercury. From the Moon sign 2nd

lord is Venus, 6th lord is Saturn and 10th lord is Mercury. The 10th lord is Mercury in both

the cases. The other two lords are Venus and Saturn. Mercury is posited in the 2nd, Rahu

1 Ayanamsa-Lahiri Chitrapaksha as per Jhora is 22°.51’.06.82. Hence slight difference in Longitudes of planets is seen.

in the 6th and the Moon in the 10th. Mercury is aspected by Saturn, Jupiter aspects the

Moon, Venus and Saturn. Three special yogas are formed by Mars & Jupiter, Sun &

Jupiter and Mercury & Saturn.

Rahu situated in the 6th is aspected by its sign dispositor Venus. From the Moon

sign, Rahu is situated in a Trikona and aspected by its sign dispositor. So Rahu becomes

Yogakaraka and indicates excellent results. Rahu is in 9th from the 10th house and indicates

good results.

The native completed his education in the sub – period of Saturn of Rahu major

period. In the sub – period of Mercury in Rahu major period he got employment and

ultimately joined the Central Government in February, 1955. At that time Jupiter was

transiting in Gemini with 27 benefic dots and Saturn in Libra with 37 benefic dots in the

Sarvastaka Varga. Both these houses have more than optimum points.

Promotion: This is mainly judged from the 11th house. The 11th house of natal

horoscope falls in Libra and its lord is Venus. The 11th house from the 10th (Profession or

Services?) falls in Cancer and its lord is the Moon. Thus, Venus and the Moon are

primary determinants. Lords of Dharma Trikona (1st, 5th and 9th) are secondary determinants.

The lord of the first is Jupiter, fifth lord is Mars, and the ninth lord is the Sun. These

three, viz., Jupiter, Mars, and the Sun also indicate promotion.

The native was promoted in Venus sub – period of Rahu Dasa in September, 1958.

Venus is the lord of the 11th house in the natal chart. In transit, Jupiter was in Libra with 37

benefic points and Saturn in Scorpio with 24 points.

The native was promoted as a Gazetted Class One Officer in May, 1963 in the sub

– period of Mars in Rahu Dasa. Mars is the 5th lord and is the Navamsa dispositor of the

fifth lord and is the Navamsa dispositor of the fifth lord. According to Deva Keralam

great happiness is the result. Jupiter was transiting Pisces with 29 benefic points and

Saturn in Capricorn with 30 benefic dots. The following dictum of Deva Keralam also

describes great rise in status.

त्रयाणाृं रान्यनाथानाृं चन्द्राद ्ऱग्नाद ्ब हस्पत।े सु्फटयोशृं रोप जीव ेराज्य पजू्यृं वववनवदिशते॥्(Book 2, V2647)

In, interalia means, if Jupiter transits over the natal position of the tenth lord counted

from either the ascendant or the Moon, or Jupiter, the native is honoured by the King. In this

case, counting from Jupiter, the tenth lord is Jupiter posited in Pisces.

The native was inducted in the Indian Economic Service in April, 1984 in Saturn –

Mercury dasa. Jupiter was transiting Sagittarius with 26 benefic dots and Saturn in Libra with

37 dots.

The native retired in the dasa of Saturn – Ketu.

The native was promoted in June, 1986 with retrospective effect from 09.12.1974 in

pursuance of the Supreme Court judgment. In June, 1986, the native was in Saturn –

Venus Dasa. Saturn and Venus are the lords of the second and sixth house, combined

and aspected by Jupiter. Jupiter was transiting Aquarius (28) and Saturn, Scorpio (24).
