JAIMINI NAVAMSHA DASHA- SALIENT FEATURES & CALCULATION

Salient features of Jaimini Navamsha Dasha:

All moveable signs and karakas/planets posited therein aspect all fixed signs except
the one adjoining to it.
All fixed signs and karakas/planets posited therein aspect all moveable signs except
the one adjoining to it.
All Planets/Karakas in common signs mutually aspect each other.

Dasha sequence for Odd and Even Signs:

-

Counting of year of Dasha is done by direct order in case of odd Rashis from the
rashi itself, by treating one Rashi as one complete year.
Counting of year of Dasha is done by indirect or reverse order in case of even
Rashis. The number of years are taken by as many houses the Rashi Lord is away
from the Rashi, by treating one Rashi as one complete year.
In case of Rashi Lord is in its own Rashi or in 12th house from the Rashi concerned,
the Rashi Dasha assigned would be of 12 years for that sign.
Sub-periods are in months corresponding to the full Rashi Dasha and are in direct
sequence coming one after another.
There will be no deduction of 1 year as in the case of Chara dasha. The lord in the
7th house from the rashi will get 7 years only.

- In the above navamsha chart, the lagna is Taurus, an even sign. The
daha will start from the 7th house, i.e., Scorpio. We have to take Ketu as
the lord. As Ketu is in the sign itself, Scorpio dasha will get 12 years.
- Sagittarius dasha will be for 7 years as Jupiter is in the 7th from the
rashi.
- Capricorn dasha will get 8 years (counting is reverse for even signs).
- Aquarius dash will get 4 years as we have taken Rahu.
- Pisces dasha will get 4 years (reverse counting for even signs).

Anthar dasha calculation in Navamsha dasha:

rashi itself. In the above case, the first dasha is that of Scorpio. The
anthar dasha will start from Scorpio itself.
- The period of the anthar dasha will be 1/12th of the total period. In this
case, the dasha period is 12 years, therefore, the anthar dasha period for
for each of the anthar dasha in Scorpio dasha will be 1 year.
