Lesson 1.1

Entire Lesson 1 of this thread is on Nakshatras.

The belt on which 12 Rashis are considered is divided into 27 smaller divisions, each division containing a
constellation (or Nakshatra/न ), & is known by the name of most prominent Star in it or just around it.

Lesson 1.2

So, the Zodiac belt is divided into 27 Nakshatras. Dividing 360° by 27, we get 13°20' (13 degrees & 20
minutes). So, every Nakshatra is 13°20' wide. Consider Nakshatras as a fixed background and Grahas
/
k i ( ii )i f d
keep moving (transiting) in foreground.

Lesson 1.3 Threader Sign up

There are different literal meanings of Nakshatra. One meaning states One the remains fixed, second
meaning implies Sky Map, third meaning infers one that cannot decay and the fourth meaning conveys as
Star Map. You should know all of these to understand them.

Lesson 1.4

Each Nakshatra is further divided into 4 Equal Quarters (चरण/पद). As I told, 1 nakshatra is 13°20' wide,
diving it by 4, we get 3°20' (3 degree & 20 minutes).

So, now we know:-

1 Rashi = 30°
1 Nakshatra = 13°20'
1 Quarter (चरण/पद) = 3°20'

Lesson 1.5

Each Quarter (चरण/पद) is known by a Swara (sound). When a native is born, in whichever Quarter the
Moon transits, the Swara of that Quarter decides initial on which we keep name of child on Naamakaran
Sanskar. I will explain it later.

Screenshot from Drikpanchang.

Lesson 1.6

As I told, above, 1 Rashi = 30°

1 Nakshatra = 13°20'
1 Quarter (चरण/पद) = 3°20' /
This translates to: Threader Sign up

1 Rashi = 9 Padas,
1 Rashi = 2¼ Nakshatras (you will understand) how fraction is dealt).

Now, we will learn Nakshatras and their Lords ( ामी). Recite them by heart.

Lesson 1.7

Some Math.

1 Nakshatra is 13°20', so 2 Nakshatras = 2 x 13°20' = 26°40'

Now remaining ¼ Nakshatra means 1 Quarter (¼th Part) of Nakshatra = 3°20'

Adding, 26°40' + 3°20' = 29°60'

1 degree (1°) = 60 minutes (60').

So 29°60' becomes 30°0', or simply 30° = 1 Rashi.

Lesson 1.8

Nakshatra and Rashis, both begin from same point. The beginning of the first Nakshatra, or constellation
of Ashwini, the first Nakshatra, is same as that of the first Rashi Aries (मेष). Each sign contains the
combined influence of the Nakshatras falling within it.

In next some days, we will keep learning names of all 27 Nakshatras (daily 6), their Lords and the Rashis
in which they expand. Take out copy, make diagram according to your ease and remember everything that
I teach related to each Nakshatra. Copy-pen are a must, I repeat.

Lesson 1.9

Now we will learn names of 6 Nakshatras daily. You have to remember their serial number, Name and
Lord. Recite them 3-4 times a day, repeat previous ones too. Write in copy if need be.

Request you save the following image in your devices.

Lesson 1.10

As I told in lesson 1.8, Nakshatra and Rashi, both start at same point. Refer to image in Lesson 1.9.

You can see that Rashi No. 1 in Aries (मेष) contains entire Ashwini (4 quarters), entire Bharani (4
quarters) and 1 Quarter (चरण/पद) of Krittika.

Lesson 1.11

4 quarters of Ashwini+4 quarters of Bharani+1 quater of Krittika = 9 Padas form Aries Rashi.

Now Rashi No. 2 Taurus (वृष) will start from 2nd Qtr (चरण) of Krittika Nakshatra, will include its 3 Qtrs,
then entire (4 qtrs) of Rohini Nakshatra & 2 quarters of Mrigshira

Lesson 1.12

3 qtrs of Krittika + 4 qtrs of Rohini + 2 qtrs of Mrigshira Nakshatra = 9 Padas for Taurus.

So, in first 2 Rashis, I introduced you to 5 Nakshatras. Next 2 lessons will contain their details. Remember
serial number of every Nakshatra!

Lesson 1.13

1. Ashwini (अि नी)

Lord: Ketu (केतु)

2. Bharani (भरणी)
Lord: Venus (शु )

3: Krittika (कृि का) /

4, Rohini (रोिहणी)

Lesson 1 is not finished, will take other lessons simultaneously

Lesson 1 is not finished yet, it is only 50% over. So, leave equal space in your notebook. I will start other
lessons simultaneously so that you are not stuck at one thing for 5 days.

Memorize, recite, learn, write Serial number, names and Lords of all Nakshatras daily.

Lesson 2.1

Exaltation/Debilitation of Grahas ( हों का उ / नीच होना)

Graha, if placed in a certain Rashi, are believed to have power in giving good results. It is said to be
Exalted in that Rashi (उस रािश म वह उ का कहा जाता है ). It is called Exaltation.

Lesson 2.2

Consider a person born in a rich family of Agra. In his home, he gets all type of facilities. He becomes a
Judge in Delhi. So, in Delhi, he would enjoy facilities as well as power/authority. Thus, he would fare
better in Delhi than Agra. This is Exaltation.

Lesson 2.3

Remember image to know Exaltaion Signs (उ रािश) of all Grahas.

Some consider Rahu exalted in Taurus, some in Gemini. Same way, people differ on exaltation Sign of
Ketu. So they appear twice in image. Make your opinion upon studying more, but use only 1 Sign.

Lesson 2.4

Sun, being the King among Grahas, gets first Sign Aries for exaltation. So, Sun is written in House where
number 1 is written. It need not be in FIRST Bhava, it can be in any House.

Sun is best exalted (परम उ ) at 10° in Aries. Read Next tweet.

Lesson 2.4 in Hindi

हों म राजा होने के कारण सूय थम रािश (मेष) म उ माने जाते ह।

सूय को उस भाव म दे ख सकते है जहाँ सं ा 1 िलखी ई है । आव क नहीं है िक यह थम भाव म ही हो, िकसी भी भाव म हो
सकता है ।

मेष रािश म 10 िड ी पर सूय परम उ हो जाते ह

/
Lesson 2.5
Threader Sign up

Open any chart. If Sun is present in chart where Number 1 is written (it can be in any Bhava), then Sun is
exalted in any chart.

Moon, considered Queen among Grahas, gets exalted in 2nd Rashi Taurus (वृष). Moon is most exalted
(परमो ) at 3° of Taurus.

Lesson 2.6

Astrologers have divided opinion on Exaltation Sign on Rahu and Ketu. First, let's discuss Rahu.

Some are of opinion that Rahu is Exalted in Taurus (वृष) while others opine that Rahu gets Exalted in
Gemini (िमथुन), the next Rashi. Image shows both opinions.

Lesson 2.7

Jupiter gets Exaltation in Cancer (कक) Rashi, & is most exalted at 5° of Kark Rashi.

Cancer is Rashi of Jupiter's Friend Moon.

बृह ित कक रािश म उ के माने जाते ह, और कक रािश म 5 िड ी पर वे परमो हो जाते ह.

कक गु के िम चं की रािश है

Lesson 2.8

Mercury (Budh) is only Graha which gets exalted in its own Sign. Mercury is Exalted from 0-15° of Virgo
(क ा) Rashi, most exalted at 15° Virgo.

बुध एकमा ह है जो अपनी ही रािश म उ हो जाता है . ये क ा रािश म 0 से 15° तक उ माना जाता है . 15° पर परमो .

Lesson 2.9

Saturn gets Exalted in Libra (तुला) Sign, and most Exalted at 20° of Libra Rashi.

शिन तुला रािश म उ के माने जाते ह, और तुला के 20° पर परमो ।

If Saturn in your Kundali is place in any House ccontaining number 7, it is Exalted.

Lesson 2.10

Now, astrologers are divided in their opinion on Exaltation Rashi of Ketu. Some treat Scorpio (वृि क)
while others treat Sagittarius (धनु) as Exaltation Rashi of Ketu. You can decide any based upon your future
learning. /
Lesson 2.11 Threader Sign up

Mars (मंगल) gets Exalted in Capricorn (मकर) Rashi, most exalted at 28° of Capricorn Rashi.

मंगल मकर रािश म उ के माने जाते ह, और 28° मकर पर वे परमो हो जाते ह.

Presently, Mars is transiting in Capricorn only. वतमान म मंगल का गोचर मकर रािश म ही है .

Lesson 2.12

Just like Abhimanyu is remembered for exemplary bravery he exhibited against several Maharathis of
Kaurava side in Chakravyuh, Venus also gets exaltation in his arch rival Jupiter's Rashi Pisces (Meen).
Venus is most exalted (Param Ucch) at 27° of Pisces Rashi.

Lesson 2.12 in Hindi

जैसे अिभम ु को च ूह म श ु प के कई महारिथयों के सम िदखाई गई वीरता के िलए याद िकया जाता है , वैसे ही शु
भी अपने िचर ित ं दी बृह ित की रािश मीन म उ के होते ह. मीन रािश के 27° पर बृह ित परमो माने जाते ह.

Lesson 2.13

Now let's learn Debilitation of Grahas ( हों का नीच होना).

In whichever Rashi a Graha is Exalted, it gets Debilitated in 7th Rashi from it, on the same degree.
Debilitation Rashi is opposite to Exaltation Rashi.

Start counting from Exaltation Rashi!

Lesson 2.13 in Hindi

जो ह जहाँ उ होता है वहां से सातवीं (स म) रािश म जो ठीक उलटे भाग म पड़ती है वह नीच का हो जाता है उसी िड/ ी
जो ह जहा उ होता ह, वहा स सातवी (स म) रािश म, जो ठीक उलट भाग म पड़ती ह, वह नीच का हो जाता ह, उसी िड ी

Lesson 2.4 और 2.13 की फोटो बाएं और दां ये अपनी कॉपी म बनाय और आने वाले कुछ अ ाय समझ।

Lesson 2.14

In Lesson 2.3, 2. 4, we learnt Sun is exalted in Aries, most exalted (परम उ ) at 10°.

Count 7th Rashi from Aries(मेष) - it is Libra (तुला).

So, Sun is debilitated in Libra (Rashi No. 7), most debilitated (परम नीच) at 10°.

Remember: 7th Rashi, same degree.

Lesson 2.14 in Hindi

Lesson 2.3 और 2.4 म हमने पढ़ा था िक सूय मेष रािश (रािश नंबर 1)म उ होते ह, और मेष के 10 िड ी पर परमो .

मेष से सातवीं रािश होती है तुला.

अतः, िनयमानुसार, सूय तुला रािश (रािश नंबर 7) म नीच के हो जाते ह, परम नीच तुला की 10° पर ही.

Lesson 2.15

Refer to Lesson 2.9, Saturn (शिन) is exalted in Libra (Rashi No. 7). Most Exalted at 20° Libra.

/
 Threader
7th Rashi from Libra (तुला) is Aries (मेष) which is Rashi No. 1.
Sign up

So, Saturn becomes Debilitated (नीच) in Aries, most debilitated (परम नीच) at 20° Aries Rashi.

Lesson 2.16

Sun exalted in Aries where Saturn is Debilitated and Sun debilitated in Libra where Saturn is Exalted
gives a msg.

Sun signifies light, Saturn is darkness. Sun is best in Aries, so Saturn is Debilitated. & when Sun becomes
weakest in Libra, Saturn becomes Exalted.

Lesson 2.17

Moon is debilitated in Scorpio, 7th Rashi from Taurus. At 3° Scorpio, it gets most debilitated.

च वृि क रािश म नीच के हो जाते ह, जो िक वृष रािश से सातवीं रािश होती है , और वृि क रािश मे 3° पर च परम नीच के हो
जाते ह।

Why 3°? Read Lesson 2.5

Lesson 2.18

Astrologers have divided opinion over debilitated Rashi of Ketu. Some consider Taurus, some consider
Gemini.

ोितिषयों म केतु के नीच होने वाली रािश को लेकर मतभेद ह. कुछ िव ान वृष को केतु के नीच होने की रािश मानते ह, कुछ
िव ान िमथुन रािश को.

Lesson 2.19

Mars (मंगल) gets debilitated (नीच) in Cancer (कक रािश), most debilitated (परम नीच) at 28° Cancer (कक).

Venus (शु ) gets debilitated in Virgo (क ा) Rashi, most debilitated (परम नीच) at 27° in Virgo.

Just count 7 from their Exaltation Rashis.

Lesson 2.20

Astrologers are again divided opinion over Debilitation Rashi of Rahu. Some consider Scorpio, some
consider Sagittarius.

पुनः ोितिषयों म रा के नीच होने वाली रािश को लेकर मतभेद ह. कुछ िव ान वृि क को रा के नीच होने की रािश मानते ह,
कुछ िव ान धनु को.

बृह ित मकर रािश म नीच के माने जाते ह, और मकर रािश म 5 िड ी पर वे परम नीच हो जाते ह.

Jupiter is transiting in its Debilitation Rashi Capricorn till 30 June.

Lesson 2.22

Mercury (Budh) gets debilitated in Pisces (मीन) Rashi. Mercury is most debilitated at 15° Pisces.

बुध ह मीन रािश म नीच के हो जाते ह, और 15° मीन पर वे परम नीच माने जाते ह.

Presently, Mercury is transiting in Pisces.

When it rains in Swati, collect the rain water in a plate, store it

Lesson 3.1

Some lessons to understand Mool Trikon.

Quality of results of Grahas positioned in Mool Trikon is believed to be inferior to Exalted Grahas.

Moll Trikon can be understood in this way. You have 2 houses. You prefer living in one, that too in its
selected portion.

Lesson 3.2

Because Sun (सूय) is Lord of Leo (िसंह), Sun in Leo should be Own Sign ( े ी). But from 1° to 20° of Leo,
Sun has Mool Trikon (मूल ि कोण), and from 21°-30° of Leo, Sun is considered े ी i.e. to be in Own Sign.

Lesson 3.3

Mars (मंगल) is Lord of Two Rashis: Aries (मेष) and Scorpio (वृि क).

But Mars (मंगल) is considered Mool Trikon only till 18° of Aries (मेष), and after it till 30°, Mars is /
considered े ी i.e. to be in Own Sign.
Threader Sign up

Scorpio is not Mool Trikon Rashi of Mars.

Lesson 3.4

Mercury (बुध) has a specialty. It is Exalted (उ ), Mool Trikon and Own Sign in a Single Rashi - Virgo
(क ा).

As told, Mercury is exalted upto 15° of Virgo. From 16° to 20° of Virgo, it is Mool Trikon.

From 21° to 30° of Virgo, Mercury is Own Sign.

Lesson 3.5

Jupiter (बृह ित) is Lord of Two Rashis: Sagittarius (धनु) and Pisces (मीन).

But Jupiter is considered Mool Trikon only till 13° of Sagittarius (धनु), and after it till 30°, Jupiter is े ी
i.e. to be in Own Sign.

Pisces is not Mool Trikon Rashi of Guru.

Lesson 3.6

Similarly, although Venus is the Lord of Taurus (वृष) as well as Libra (तुला), its Mool Trikon is considered
only till 10° of Libra (तुला), and thereafter, it is Own Sign ( े ी).

Venus is not considered to be in Mool Trikon in Taurus Rashi.

Lesson 3.7

Moon (चं ) is considered Exalted (उ ) upto 3° in Taurus वृष), and thereafter till 30°, it is े ी. It is
important to mention that Taurus is not the Rashi under Moon's Lordship ( ािम ), but still Taurus is
considered to be Moon's Own Sign.

Lesson 3.8

A group of Astrologers are of the opinion that Moon should be considered Mool Trikon as well as Own
Sign in Cancer because Moon being the Lord of Cancer.

Now let us see Mool Trikon and Own Sign ( े ी) views on Rahu and Ketu.

Lesson 3.9

Let's see Saturn (शिन) first. Saturn is the Lord of Capricorn (मकर) and Aquarius (कु ). But Saturn is
/
 Threader
considered to have Mool Trikon effect only till 20° of Aquarius (कु
Sign up
), and thereafter Saturn is considered
to be Own Sign ( े ी).

Lesson 3.10

One opinion considers Rahu Exalted in Taurus, Own Sign in Aries and Mool Trikon in Cancer. This
opinion also considers Ketu to be Exalted in Scorpio, Own Sign in Libra and Mool Trikon in Capricorn.

There is no mention of degree in any standard text.

Lesson 3.11

Another opinion considers Rahu to be exalted in Gemini and Own Sign in Virgo, and Ketu to be exalted in
Sagittarius and Own Sign in Pisces.

You are free to believe any opinion in totality, and make opinion on your experiences.

Lesson 3.12

It is believed that an Exalted Graha gives results of maximum intensity, and a Graha in its Mool Trikon
has lesser intensity of results, and a Graha in Own Sign has least intensity among them to give results.

Correction:

In Lesson 1.20, treat the numbering as

10. Magha
Lord: Ketu

11. Poorvaphalguni (पूवाफा ुनी)

Lord: Venus

12. Uttaraphalguni (उ राफा ुनी)

8th Rashi Scorpio (वृि क) contains remaining 1 quarter of Vishakha (िवशाखा) Nakshatra + entire
Anuradha (अनुराधा) Nakshatra + entire Jyeshtha ( े ा) . Thus, 1+4+4 quarters make it 9 quarters in
Vrischik Rashi.

Lesson 1.22

9th Rashi Sagittarius (धनु) contains entire Mool (मूल) Nakshatra + entire Poorvashadha (पूवाषाढ़)
Nakshatra + 1 quarter of Uttarashadha (उ राषाढ़) Nakshatra. Thus, 4+4+1 quarters make it 9 quarters in
Sagittarius Sign.

Lesson 1.23

Capricorn (मकर), the 10th Rashi, contains remaining 3 quarters of Uttarashadha (उ राषाढ़) Nakshatra +
entire Shravan ( वण) Nakshatra (4 qtrs of it) + 2 quarters of Dhanishtha (धिन ा) Nakshatra. Thus, 3+4+2

kinds of Dasha systems, but we will only read Vimshottari Dasha system. Vimshottari means 120. This
system assumes maximum human life to be of 120 years.

Lesson 4.2

120 is total of periods of all 9 Grahas used in Jyotish. Their order + duration was told in 1st thread, but
repeating in image below.

Period of each Graha is called its Mahadasha (महादशा). We can say Mahadasha of Moon (च ) is of 10
years, as can be seen in table.

Lesson 4.3

Mahadasha of each Graha is further subdivided into smaller AND unequal periods of each Graha. Such
periods are called Antardasha or Bhukti. Each Antardasha is again further subdivided into maller AND
unequal periods of each Graha called Pratyantar Dasha or Antara.

Lesson 4.1, 4.2 Hindi

अब हम दशाओं के बारे म पढ़गे। वैसे तो कई दशा प ितयाँ ह, पर हम िवंशो री दशा प ित को पढ़गे। िवंशो री का अथ है
120. इस प ित म मानव की अिधकतम आयु 120 वष मानी गयी है . इस अविध को हों की महादशा म िवभािजत िकया गया है ।
म िच म है ।

Lesson 4.3 in Hindi

हर ह की महादशा को 9 हों के ािम वाले छोटे ,असमान भागों म िवभािजत िकया जाता है . ेक भाग को अ दशा/
भु कहते ह. भु को भी 9 हों के ािम वाले छोटे ,असमान भागों म िवभािजत िकया जाता है , िज र दशा/
अ रा कहा जाता है .

Lesson 4.4

Now we will see when a person takes birth, Mahadasha of which Graha is operating upon him i.e. in
which Mahadasha a person takes birth.

Find out Nakshatra in which Moon was transiting at the time of birth. The native is born under
Mahadasha of Lord of that Nakshatra.

Lesson 4.4 in Hindi

अब हम दे खगे िक जब एक ज लेता है तो उस पर िकस ह की महादशा चल रही होती है , या यूं कह की एक जातक

का ज िकस महादशा म होता है .

ज के समय चं का गोचर िजस न म हो, उस न के ामी की महादशा उस पर ज से चलती है .

Example 4.1

Basic calculation to explain people who don't have strong Math.

One Nakshatra is 13°20' wide.

Since 1° = 60'
Hence 13° = 13 x 60' = 780'
And 13°20' = 780' + 20' = 800'
/
Now suppose at the time of birth, Moon is transiting in Swati Nakshatra, and its Lord is Rahu.
Example 4.1 contd. Threader Sign up

So, every Nakshatra spans in 800'

So, Mahadasha at time of native's birth will be Rahu.

In the table of Lesson 4.2, I told that Mahadasha of Rahu is of 18 years.

Suppose, at the time of birth, Moon has already crossed 400' (i.e. 50% part of Nakshatra).

Example 4.1 contd.

Now if native were born at exactly same time when Moon entered Rahu's Nakshatra Swati, he would have
faced entire 18 yrs of Rahu's Mahadasha.

But

Native was born when Moon had crossed 50% Nakshatra. So, he would face only 50% of Rahu's
Mahadasha (9 years).

Example 4.2

I explained in Example 4.1 that a Nakshatra spans 800'

Now if a native was born when Moon was transiting in Shravan Nakshatra & it had traversed through 160'
(20% of Nakshatra) when birth took place.

Shravan's Lord is Moon, so native would be born in Moon Mahadasha

Example 4.2 contd.

If native were born at the same time when Moon entered Sharavan Nakshatra, he would have faced full 10
years of Moon's Mahadasha (Lesson 4.2 table).

But he was born when Moon had cross 20% of Nakshatra, so 20% of 10 years i.e. 2 years would be
reduced.

Example 4.2 contd.

So, by reducing 2 years from 10 years, we get 8 years, so native would face 8 years of Moon's Mahadasha
after his birth.

Hence, you would see "Balance Dasha written as 8 y 0 months" in the application through which you
generate birth chart.

Lesson 4.5 Threader Sign up

In Example 4.1, all the Antardasha and Pratyantardasha which come in first 9 years of Rahu's Mahadasha
and in Example 4.2, all the Antardasha and Pratyantardasha which come in first 2 years of Moon's
Mahadasha would have passed.

Native would face remaining.

Lesson 4.6

Since Moon has traveled through certain part of Nakshatra at birth, so in "balace Dasha remaining" you
get a period lesser than Mahadasha of that Graha.

The next Mahadasha would be of Graha next to it in table of Lesson 4.2.

After Mercury, ketu's Mahadasha comes.

Lesson 1.24

11th Rashi Aquarius (कु ) contains remaining 2 quarters of Dhanishtha (धिन ा) Nakshatra + entire
Shatbhisha (शतिभषा) Nakshatra (4 qtrs of it) + 3 quarters of Poorvabhadrapada (पूवाभा पद) Nakshatra.
Thus, 2+4+3 quarters make it 9 quarters in Aquarius Rashi.

Lesson 1.25

Final, that is 12th Rashi Pisces (मीन ) contains the remaining 1 Nakshatra of Poorvabhadrapada
(पूवाभा पद) Nakshatra + entire Uttarabhadrapada (उ राभा पद) Nakshatra + entire Revati (रे वती)
Nakshatra.

Thus, 1+4+4 quarters make it 9 Quarters for it.

24. Shatbhisha (शतिभषा)

Lord: Rahu

25. Poorvabhadrapada (पूवाभा पद)

Lord: Jupiter

26. Uttarabhadrapada (उ राभा पद)

Lord: Saturn

27. Revati (रे वती)

Lord: Mercury

/
Thus, we complete Nakshatras. Threader Sign up

I again request to memorize Serial number, Name & Lord of every Nakshatra.

Lesson 1.26

By now, you must have understood that every Graha gets Lordship ( ािम ) of 3 Nakshatras.

Rahu, Ketu are not Lords of any Rashi but they both get Lordship of 3 Nakshatras each. So, some Jyotish
schools believe Rahu-Ketu give results their Rashi & Nakshatra Lords.

Lesson 5.1

Gandanta (ग ा ) Points or Gandamool (ग मूल) Nakshatras.

Concentrate at STARTING of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius Rashi. You would observe that just before these
points, Rashis AS WELL AS Nashatras end, and AFTER this point, New Rashis AS WELL AS Nashatras
begin.

Lesson 5.2

You will observe that Nakshatras before common conjunction points are rules by Mercury, and
Nakshatras AFTER those points are ruled by Ketu.

So, Nakshatras under Mercury and Ketu are called Gandamool Nakshatras, and the points of conjunction
are Gandanta Points.

Lesson 5.3

These points are considered inauspicious. Children born under these Nakshatras are said to have
Gandamool Dosha and Gandamool Pooja is conducted for them for Shanti of this Dosha.

My personal view is different. I do not consider it a Dosha, so, never recommend Pooja
/
Lesson 5.4 Threader Sign up

My point of view is simple. 6 Nakshatras are considered Gandamool Nakshatras, and Moon transits in
every Nakshatra for about 1 day. So every month, Gandamool Nakshatras would cover 6 days. Many
babies would be born across India in those 6 days given high birth rate.

Lesson 5.5

Every year, about 72 days fall under Gandamool Nakshatras, and about 50,000 babies are born per day in
India. For 72 days, it becomes 36 lac babies a year.

Hence, wrong to claim Gandamool Dosha would cause misfortune to all. It is my point of view only.

Lesson 6.1

Dashas (दशा)

Any person is always under Mahadasha (महादशा) of any Graha which lasts for several years, and within
this this period, person is under Antardasha (अ दशा/भु ) of a Graha which can last from some months
to about 2.5 years.

Lesson 6.2

Within Antardasha, person is under Pratyantar dasha ( र दशा /अ रा) of a Graha. The Grahas can be
same or different.

Same as in Saturn's Mahadasha, Antar & Pratyantar Dasha (Sa-Sa-Sa).

Different as in Moon Mahadasha, Venus Bhukti & Sun's Antara. (Mo-Ve-Su).

/
Lesson 6.3 Threader Sign up

When a person starts Mahadasha of any Graha, the same Graha will be Lord of Antardasha (Bhukti) and
Pratyantardasha (Antara). For example, at the start of Jupiter's Mahadahsa, the person will be under
Jupiter-Jupiter-Jupiter (Dasha-Bhukti-Antara) period.

Lesson 6.4

First of all, Jupiter's Pratyantar Dasha (Antara) will end and the person will enter Antara of Graha next to
Jupiter in this chart. So person will run in Jupiter-Jupiter-Saturn period, then in Jupiter-Jupiter-
Mercury, then Jupiter-Jupiter-Ketu periods and so on.

Lesson 6.5

When the Antara (Pratyantar Dasha) of Rahu, Graha just before Jupiter in order ends), the person will
have run in Pratyantars of all 9 Grahas. So, here Antardasha will change from Jupiter to Graha next to it
in chart of Lesson 6.4. So Antardasha of Saturn will start.

Lesson 6.6

In Saturn's antardasha, first Pratyantar Dasha will be of Saturn only. So the person will be in Jupiter-
Saturn-Saturn period, and then Bhuktis of Mercury, Ketu etc. will come (following the order). So, once all
Bhuktis of all 9 grahas have ended, Mahadasha will change

Lesson 6.7

Using any software/app, you can find out when any Mahadasha/Antardasha/Pratyantardasha will end.
Dates might differ in every app due to Ayanamsas. Larger the period, more can be difference, Shorter the
dasha, lesser variation, but you can get approximate month/week.

/
Lesson 6.8 Threader Sign up

Dashas play a VERY important role in our lives. Any event (like marriage, child birth, study, foreign travel
etc.) will not happen in Dasha of any Graha which denies occurrence of such event in person's life during
Dasha of that/those Graha(s).

Read examples next.

Example 6.1

Mercury's Pratyantar Dasha in Jupiter's Mahadasha and Jupiter's Antardasha will be over 3.5 months
long, and if in a native's chart, Mercury denies marriage, then in those 3. 5 months, marriage will not take
place.

Example 6.1 continued.

If next Pratyantar Dasha of Ketu allows marriage, then it can take place, but if Ketu denies marriage to
person, it will not happen no matter how much efforts are made.

If Mercury and Ketu both deny him foreign travel, person will not travel abroad too.

Example 6.2

Similarly, Saturn's Bhukti in Jupiter's Mahadasha is approx 2.5 yrs long and if Saturn denies promotion
to a person, then his promotion will not take place in entire duration. If Saturn denies child birth too,
then it will also not take place in this period.

Example 6.3

If a person starts Venus Mahadasha at the age of 26, it will continue till he is 46 years (period of 20 years),
and if Venus denies marriage to that person, the person will remain unmarried in this duration, even if
Venus gives him humongous success in profession.

Lesson 6.9

There are two small periods of Graha too, also called Sookshma Dasha (which lasts for a week) and Prana
Dasha (lasts for 1-2 days). But in absence of birth time accurate to second, they should not be studied, so I
did not mention them. But you should be aware of them.

Lesson 6.10

So, NO event whether good or bad, happens in your life unless ALL Dasha (MD,AD,PD,SD,PrD) lords
agree to/permit the occurrence of it, apart from Promise and Transit which ignore for now. If any one
Dasha Lord denies, event will not happen until its Dasha is over.

/
Lesson 6.11 Threader Sign up

Dasha Fixing

Events can only happen in Dashas strongly signifying event, so they have to be fixed.

For event which happens only once (like death), Mahadasha needs fixing.

For events which can happen 2-3 or 4-5 times (e.g. marriage/child birth), Bhukti needs fixing

Lesson 6.12

Do not think that marriage happens 2-3 times for everyone, but it is an event which can happen 2-3 times
or even more unlike death, which can happen only once.

Child birth can also happen more than 2-3 times.

Bhukti for marriage should strongly connect to 7th House

That was all in this thread, we will now move to next (and most likely, final thread). Some people have
been messaging me to read their charts, so I will have to stop at the next thread and take up their charts.
You will have to continue thereform on your own.
