Um, nature, fate, and the terms of successful predictions

Robert A. Koch
Om parasmai jyotishe namah
A few days ago, thinking about the predictive nature of Jyotish, I thought it a shame, having an
arsenal of predictive techniques, sometimes even so wrong in the final prediction.
There are various reasons why this may be happening.The most important, of course - the human
nature, prone to errors.Further, inaccurate birth wrong ayanamsa, computer "glitches", unrecorded
change the time in the place of birth, just "bad influences of the planets," or just a simple lack of
practical experience of an astrologer working with horoscopes.In short, there is a whole list.
No matter what the real reason for the fact - that the astrologer, even striving for 100% accuracy, it
is difficult to downright impossible to find the correct prediction.Some scientists, however, called
the astrology a science of probability, not a deterministic (objective laws).Others say that it is - an
art rather than a science.Still others feel that only God can know the future, and the astrologers
can only detect variations or trends, not an event.Whatever point of view, a serious Vedic
astrologer is always striving for a consistent methodology, with which he or she will be able to
succeed with the predictions - knowing that within Jyotish have the means to detect not only the
possibility or probability, but also the realization of events.
STATE OF MIND - against environmental influences
The first step in the development of this methodology - the need to understand the difference
between mental and physical planes of human existence, and then figure out how Parasara and
other sages assayed by various methods.Because of the hierarchical structure of human nature
sometimes it happens that in the circumstances of appearance of prosperity, mentally, he or she
may be anxious or disturbing at the same time.Thus, the astrologer needs a set of tools that it can
detect not only what happens physically to predict the impact of the environment;but also as an
individual will perceive these events and influence.
Dasha system, Calculated from the nakshatra of the Moon at birth is now used are the best
method to understand the activity of the mind in a particular period of life.
Rasi dasa assayed at home (living area) astrology Map showing its influence in a specific period.
So that means a thorough analysis and nakshatra- and Rasi dasa systems give a good
understanding of when and in what manner we have the influence of the environment and how it
will be perceived and accepted by the individual.This - the first step in the development of a
reliable predictive system.
Mental perception and Vimsottari-DASHA
Vimsottari dasa - the most important dasa system to determine the state of mind in a particular
period as a basis for calculation shall be the position of the moon in the constellation at the time of
birth.Classical Works recommends this method of calculation for the most goals in the Kaliyuga.Some classical texts, however, such as Jataka Parijata, recommend specific restrictions on
the calculation Vimsottari dasa depending on the characteristics of the analyzed astrological
chart.
Therefore, if the moon nakshatra birth - the only way in which the astrologer calculates Dasha
cycle, it appears that this method is not always It gives acceptable results.
Therefore, Jataka Parijata, Ch.18, verses 33 to 35, explains the somewhat unique conditions against

which to be targeted Vimsottatri dasa:

Dasha considered the strongest of the following
Rising star or Nakshatra ascendant at birth;
Janma Nakshatra or the star, where the Moon is placed at birth;
Star, where the Moon is placed at the time of issue (for the timing results Prashna);and
Nakshatra, corresponding to the first syllable of the name of the child.also said that
Vimsottari-dasa can be calculated from the following Nakshatras
Utpanna Nakshatra, or the 5th of Janma Nakshatra routinely star;
Ksema Nakshatra, or the 4th of Janma;or
Adha Nakshatra, 8th of Janma Nakshatra.
Since Dasha, computed from the 4th and 8th Nakshatras refer to Ayur dasa dasa, or to determine
the life expectancy can safely rely on the use Utpanna nakshatra as a possible starting point for the
calculation of all other life events.
Now, since the calculations "on behalf of, an appropriate constellation" means the use of Sanskrit
names, and as in Western countries are a few names such inefficiency is extremely likely to use most
of the first syllable of the names as a starting point computing Vimsottari-dasa.Thus, in order to
simplify the approach, we can identify the strongest position among the Lagna Nakshatra
(nakshatra, which gets an ascending degree, ascendant at the time of birth), Janma Nakshatra
(the Moon), and Utpanna Nakshatra.
Defining a stronger position, first find the sign and the house in which each Nakshatra is
located.Next, determine the sign / house, which has more planets in the corners.If the
number of planets in the corners of each Nakshatra - the same, the look, which contain
corners of the planet in its own sign or exaltation.If ambiguity still exists, see what angles
greater than aspected own ruler, Jupiter and Mercury.If there is still a lack of confidence,
it is best to use Nakshatra occupied by the Moon as a point of reference Vimsottari dasa.
As an illustration, consider the following map: Lagna - 2 degrees of Libra, Chitra Nakshatra.Luna - in
the 21 th degree of Libra, in the constellation of Visakha.Considering the moon, only two planets in
the corners of Libra.As the number of planets in the corners of the ascendant and the Moon the
same way, the power Nakshatras Lagna and the Moon and to start counting Vimsottari dasa is
essentially the same.Counting 5th Nakshatra of Visakha, we get as a Purvasadha Utpanna
Nakshatra.Purvasadha occupies part of the Sagittarius from 13:20 to 26:40 degrees.In this map
there are four planets angle to Sagittarius, iethree in Virgo, and one in Gemini.Thus the calculation
Vimsottari dasa from Purvasadha rather than from lagna or Janma Nakshatra, can provide more
accurate results.
(Note: in order to calculate the balance of the first dasha of Utpanna stars use the same
point Utpanna Nakshatra, as it reached the Moon in Janma Nakshatra. Determine the
balance of the first dasha in the usual way, but making steward Utpanna-nakshatra ruler
opening mahadasha).
Other useful dasa system
If the above-mentioned types of computing Vimsottari dasa is not enough, there are many
conventional Dasha mentioned in Brihad Parasara Hora Shastra.The conditions under which most
of them are designed, however, not often found in most of the horoscopes.However Ashtottari
dasa, the conditions of application of which are present in many of the cards can be used instead

Vimsottari dasa.This dasa, which measures the Paramayus (lifetime) of a person in 108 years, can
be used if the following conditions are met:
Birth day for decreasing the moon;
The birth of the night, during the waxing Moon;and
Rahu should be in a quadrant or Trikona from Lagna lord (the Ascendant).
Now, some interesting details in the calculation Ashtottari and Vimsottari dasa.
In Vimsottari Dasha, 27 Nakshatras divided into three groups of 9, and thus each of the nine planets,
from Mercury to Ketu, operates three Nakshatra.Dasha cycle of each of these nine planets so
repeated three times.
The Ashtottari Dasha Ketu does not control any Nakshatras and thus control 27 Nakshatras divided
into 8 groups.In contrast to the scheme Vimsottari first four nakshatra, since Ardrey, ruled by the
Sun;The following three starting from Magha, controlled Moon;The following 4 since Hasta, ruled by
Mars, etc.If the study is the difference between the schemes and Vimsottari Ashtottari, you will
notice that each of the nine planets controls each Dasha Vimsottari consistently and Ashtottari
scheme three or four consecutive Dasha spodryad Nakshatras managed only one planet.Length
Dasha managed one planet also differ.And, as Ketu off from a list of rulers in Ashtottari dasa, the
total number of years, donated all the planets the full duration of a person's life, will be 108 instead
of 120, according to Vimsottari.
Depending on the scheme used by Dasha, 27 Nakshatras will be managed by different planets.This
is particularly important to keep in mind, for example, those who use Krsnamurti Paddhati system
where extensive use of stewards and stewards AIS Nakshatras house cusps - basic methodology.If
Ashtottari Dasa (Dasa or any other system except Vimsottari) is used with this system, the planetary
control Nakshatras be different.It goes without saying, therefore, astrologers, widely used specific
dasa system, emphasize the specific rulers Nakshatras.
And the parallels between Vimsottari astottara DASHA
An interesting difference between the two dasa system is connected to two Vedic guru,
ie,Brihaspati (Jupiter) and Shukra (Venus), which are considered deities, inspiring everyone to
train.In the Vedic stories (Puranas and Itihasas) Brihaspati - guru divine beings (Devata) and
Sukracarya - guru Daityas (demonic beings).Symbolically, each of which represents the forces of
light or consciousness;and darkness, that is, identification with illusory manifestations of Nature
(Maya), respectively.If we add the length of the dasa of the stars, the sun and moon, we get the
length of the dasa of Jupiter (in Vimsottari) and Venus (in Ashtottari).In Vimsottari Dasha Sun 6
years, Moon - 10 years, and adding them together, we get the length of the dasa mentor Gods
(figuratively forces of light), namely Jupiter dasa 16 years.In Ashtottari dasa system dasa of the
Moon 15 years Sun - 6 years, and their addition gives the length of the dasa Shukra (Venus), which
lasts for 21 years.
Thus, there are fundamental differences between what dasa system corresponds to a particular
sign.If an individual is more inclined to the sensual orientation and karmic need to act in the realm
of matter (higher than a force of light, where the growth of consciousness and the desire for
moksha - evolutionary trend), then perhaps Ashtottari Dasha is more appropriate.This is further
indicated by the position of Rahu in the corners or on the Tricon Lagna lord, nocturnal birth at
growing moon or birth day when fading moon, as required for the legality of the calculation
Ashtottari dasa.
PARAMAYUS: The maximum duration of life for the people and events

In Vimsottari Dasha, years, donated planets is 120, which is thought to be the maximum life
expectancy of people in Kali-yuga.Paramayus or maximum duration of life is an important
consideration, because Dasha for events vary depending on the duration of their
implementation.Dasha cycle, which is compressed to a certain specified period of time, can be
very useful for certain types of cards.For example, suppose you need to calculate the dasa
Vimsottari card for the inauguration of the new President of the United States.We know that the
maximum "durability" of each term of office of the president - 4 years, and in conformity with the
maximum 120-year cycle Vimsottari dasa can be compressed or distributed for 4 years.So if Venus
dasa Vimsottari in 20 years, according to the 120-year-old Paramayus, it can be used to determine
the proportion of the length of the dasa of Venus at 4 years Paramayus:
Twenty years / 120 years = X / four years.
Or 80 divided by 120 equals 0.67 years or 8.04 months as the length Vimsottari Venus dasa, if life
expectancy horoscope 4 years.Similarly, it can be calculated in proportion to the length of the
other dasa.Any dasa can be compressed and used in proportion to the annual figure
(Varshaphal), given that Paramayus, or the maximum durability of this card (Varshaphal, solar
return) is equal to one year.Dasha also can be compressed for any situational maps (Prasna) if the
"life expectancy" of the situation.
It is important to note that Ashtottari Dasha, Paramayus, made up of contributions each year
Dasha - 108. The value of this can be commented as follows: a symbolic development of the soul,
which is illustrated by a set of 12 zodiac signs can be most directly correlated to the transit of
Jupiter, the full cycle is 12 years.Jupiter Association Jiva or life force not only apply it to the
development of the consciousness of the soul, but also to the life span.If the length of Ashtottari
Dasha make equal and attributed to each of the 12 signs / houses astrological chart, each Dasa
will be nine years (12 x 9 = 108 s), and each sub-period is equal to or Antaradasha 9 months.Given
that the first 9 months - the exact date of the human gestation period, it can be concluded that
Dasha Paramayus for 108 years - more in line with the cycles of life.Thus the two most important
Nakshatra dasa Vimsottari and Ashtottari first better as a Phalita dasa (for the timing of the results of
destiny), and the latter as the best Ayur dasa (to determine the durability).
The system Rasi dasa, commonly known as "Jaimini" ( more on that later), the two most important
Ayur dasa determining longevity - Shula Navamsha Dasha Dasha - give each of the nine years
Dasha 12 characters, and each of the first 9 months of sub-periods.Thus for the longevity of people
with Paramayus Dasha cycle of 108 years is most effective;Results for all other actions that can be
calculated, Dasha 120 years Paramayus, the best.
Thus, a careful analysis of the characteristics birthday cards should be made prior to use
to calculate the lunar nakshatra Vimsottari dasa.If the computing system or Vimsottari
Ashtottari Dasha define stronger Nakshatra, given the unique characteristics of the
analyzed maps, the predictions based on these calculations may be more correct, and
the determination of their life cycles, and so will also be more accurate.At least, it is
worthwhile trying to use more opportunities for predictions - compared with only
moonlight Vimsottari dasa, the only prognostic method.
Rasi dasa ASPECTS AND SPECIAL Lagna: even so, who was Jaimini?
Astrologers often contrasted Parasara and "Jaimini" astrology, and some even say that they are
two separate systems, which should not be used in conjunction with each other.The problem with
these ideas, however, is that (1) full Jaimini Rasi system (based on the signs) -aspektov, -dasha etc.,
was outlined in Brhat Parasara Hora-sastra, particularly in Chapter 48, which describes the various

dasa system;and (2) Jaimini called his work "Upadesha" sutras.The word "upadesa"refers to a
comment that implies - Upadesha Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini been total and further disclosure of
what has been said in Brhat Parasara Hora-sastra.
So, while causing a wholly-owned trust information Jaimini hard to find, we can assume that he was
a follower, a colleague or a student Parasara and that forecasting systems, they described were
essentially Parasara.
Rasi-Dasha and Rasi aspect: why are they used?
As Nakshatra dasa represent the scope of the Manas or mental perception of environmental
influences and Rasi dasa or based on signs dasa system, shows the influence of the environment
itself.
Thus, the first dasa system, - a description of the periods when some perceived influence, and the
latter indicates the time of life when the positive and negative physical effects as rezulty destiny will
manifest.Therefore, the normal approach - to use at least one Nakshatra dasa system (Vimsottari the best for all practical purposes), and one-dasa Rasi.Rasi- aspects, by which each of the
cardinal signs (and planets in them) all aspects the fixed signs [excluding related], and all the
mutable signs and planets in their aspect the rest of the mutable signs show the mixing of influences
of different signs and planets with any Rasi dasa and its sub-period, this influence may appear at
any time.As a result, the astrologer is gaining more holistically understanding the meaning of
interferences, the time of their implementation in life and how to be born at the same time to feel
these effects.In addition, the use of two or more dasa systems serves as a double check that could
happen on the mental and physical levels, whereas the use of Dasha can only give part of the
picture.
Another advantage of using Rasi dasa that are rising sign indicates the starting point for the
calculation;the duration of periods assigned according to how far the ruler of each sign is removed
from the ascendant.Thus, the birth of minor errors do not affect the accuracy of the calculations of
the dasa.If the rising sign is known, the length and the beginning / end of each dasa be accurate.
WHAT Rasi dasa use?
Just as Vimsottari dasa most important and universally applicable among Nakshatra dasa,
Narayana dasa still known as Padakrama Dasha - chief among Rasi dasa, and can be used with all
the cards."Nara" refers to the people, "Ayana" refers to their progress and development, which
ultimately culminates in Moksha or termination of birth and death.Narayana is also another name
of Vishnu or Krishna, who is glorified in the Vedic hymns as the final place of refuge wishing to
Moksha or liberation.
Cycle Narayana dasa corresponds to a very important principle.He says that the three classes of
characters, ieCrucially, double (mutable) and a fixed, controlled the main deity responsible for
creation, sustenance and destruction, - respectively Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara (Shiva).
Always starting from the ascendant (or stronger between the 1st and 7th houses ), there are three
different types of formation Rasi dasa cycle for mutable rising sign, for the first dasa dasa should
mark the 5th, then the 9th;then the 10th sign, 5th from the 10th, and the 9th sign of the 10th,
etc.Subject Vishnu control Mutable Cross signs, it resonates with the three houses of the Dharma, 1,
5 and 9 m.
The basic principle of action and creation [Brahma] corresponds to the cardinal signs.With rising
cardinal signs, the cycle moves from the first to the next character, and so Dasha follow one
another like Chara Dasha.
The theme refers to the destruction of Shiva, and thus Narayana dasa being accrued from fixed

ascendant, goes on to the second from the previous ;restrictions difficulties, obstacles and possible
destruction associated in astrology with the 6th house.
Thus, the symbolism of the creation, maintenance and destruction, are present everywhere within
the material existence is manifested through different sequences of three characters in the circuit
crosses Narayana dasa.
Another advantage of the Narayana dasa that he can be calculated for any fractional cards
except Natal.Thus it can be made separate calculation Dasamshi for example, when determining
the time necessary professional development.Or separate calculations for navamsa for timing
partnership or marriage, or divorce.
The method is simple: take the number associated with the desired Varga, and find the
associated house in the birth chart.Then take the ruler of the house and find its location
in the relevant Varga.Finally, calculate the Narayana dasa of that mark.For example,
take the ruler of the 9th house in the natal chart, and find its location in Navamsa - and
there Compute navamsa Narayana dasa.Or take the ruler of the 10th house birthday
card, get his position in Dasamshe - and there Compute Dasamsha Narayana
dasa.Similarly, certain things associated with any Varga, can be analyzed using the
Narayana dasa for this Varga.
OTHER Rasi dasa
As with Nakshatra-dasa Rasi dasa also grouped into categories Phalita and Ayur.Some of them are
also used according to the unique features of the horoscope.Among them, a good analogue of
the Narayana dasa - dasa Rasi Kendrari ascendant;it is usually used instead of Narayana dasa
only if the sign of the Moon more ascendant.If Lagna is stronger it can be used in addition to the
Narayana dasa to define wealth, prosperity and material achievements born.
Lagna Kendrari Rasi dasa begin with stronger between Lagna and 7th, and follow the
Kendram from him, or against moving Therefore sign depending on whether the sign or
ascendant 7th odd or even, respectively.When all four Kendra dasa thus calculated,
followed by signs Panapara (2, 5, 8, 11) again in the same direction, and then finally find
signs Apoklima dasa.
Variety LKR-dasha - Sudasha that starting from Sri Lagna, determines the sign showing where in the
birth chart seek the blessings of Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth.It is important to determine the
abundance of Dasha, fame and influence, who can give birth to fate.
So Narayana dasa can be used as an outstanding Rasi dasa system, although any Rasi dasa,
computed according to the specific needs of an individual or as a unique birthday card is also
extremely helpful.Their use in combination with Vimsottari or Ashtottari Dasha is a powerful method
to determine - how and at what level, and what events can be accurately calculated.
[Note: For specific details on the calculation of the Narayana dasa dasa or other mentioned here,
please contact with the author.Or read the book Pandit Sanjay Rath, which illustrates the use of
these dasa: Crux of Vedic Astrology: Timing of Events (Sagar publications)].
OTHER IMPORTANT REFERENCE POINT
There are other items that can be used in the interpretation of the dasa.Special lagna, such as
Horus and Ghatika, mentioned in Brhat Parasara Hora-sastra, and are important points to assess the
strength and the time of finding fame and wealth / status, respectively.It is also very important

Arudha decay because it shows the level at which perceived the events eliminated any home.All
of this - some checkpoints, allow you to analyze various aspects of manifestation of birthday cards
that can be found in the Brhat Parasara Hora-sastra, as in Upadesha Sutras Maharishi Jaimini [best
translation - by Pt.Sanjay Rath, Sagar pub.]
Therefore, many important details that illustrate the results of the destinations can be found in the
writings of Parasara and related classic texts, even without reading between the lines.
Learning how to use these different elements mentioned in the classical texts of Jyotish, deserves
attention and time, as promised more the percentage of accuracy in the prediction and
interpretation of the general birthday card.
