10. The results of Antardasa in Dasas of the the Nodes: i. If the the node nodess are are plac placed ed in in Trik Trikona ona,, then then the antar antar of of the the Kendra Kendra lords lords conf confer er rajay rajayoga oga.. This is also true during the dasa of Kendra lord and antardasa of the nodes so placed in Trikona ii. ii. Simi Simila larly rly if if the nod nodes es are are place placed d in Kendr Kendra, a, the the antar antar of the the Tri Triko kona na lord lordss confe confer r rajayoga. This is also true during the dasa of Trikona lord and antardasa of the nodes so placed in Kendra iii. iii. If the the nodes nodes are are place placed d in auspi auspici ciou ouss house houses, s, then then thei theirr antar antarda dasa sass in the dasa dasa of a yogakakara or during the antardasa of a yogakaraka in their (nodes) dasa, the results are extremely auspicious iv. iv. If the the nodes nodes are are associ associate ated d with with the the 8th 8th / 12th 12th house/ house/ lord lords, s, then then thei theirr dasa/ dasa/ anta antarda rdasa sa would be inauspicious
11. According to Phaladeepika, the dasa of a planet becomes inauspicious, if they fall in a particular sequence as mentioned below: i. Satu Saturn rn’’s dasa dasa happ happen enss to be 4th 4th dasa dasa ii. ii. Mars Mars’’s dasa dasa happ happen enss to be 5th 5th dasa dasa iii. iii. Jupite Jupiter’ r’ss dasa dasa happen happenss to be 6th 6th dasa dasa 12. Dasa of planets placed in the Rasi Sandhi/ Sandhi/ Gandanta is terrible to the house lorded by the planet planet and the natural significations of the planet. The trouble would pass by in a malefic antar and would be lesser during the benefic antar. 13. The dasa of sixth, eighth or twelfth is troublesome. troublesome. The trouble is lesser if the lord is well placed placed in exaltation, mulatrikona, own sign or friend’s sign and would be more if badly placed in its debilitation sign or enemy’s enemy’s sign. 14. During During the dasa of a planet, the native is endowed endowed with the nature and complexion complexion of the dasa lord. The fiery planets would give brilliance, the watery planet would make one emotional and compassionate, the earthy planets make one hard working and the air planet would make the person thoughtful and philosophical. Along with this, the native would partake the guna of the dasa lord. Thus during the Jupiter, Sun and Moon’s dasa the native becomes sattvik, during the dasa of Venus and Mercury, the native becomes Rajasik and during the dasa of Mars and Saturn, the native becomes tamasik. More effect of the guna of planets on the native can be learnt from BPHS and Saravali. 15. The result of a planet going towards its exaltation increases as the dasa progresses and similarly, similarly, the dasa of a planet diminishes with progress of the dasa, if the dasa lord is going towards its debilitation (one sign behind the sign of debilitation) 16. Malefics Malefics give their results results of its placement placement in a rasi during during the first third third part, the results results of its placement in a bhava in the middle third and the results of its aspect in the last third of the dasa. Similarly Benefics give their results of their bhava in the beginning third, the result of rasi in the middle third and the aspects in the last third of the dasa. 17. When the dasa and the antar-dasa lords are placed in the 6th/ 8th or 12th from each other, these shows enmity, enmity, physical troubles, troubles from unknown sources etc. If the antar lord is a friend to the dasa lord or the Lagna lord and well placed in the sign, then the trouble would be lessened. On the contrary, if the dasa- antar lords are badly placed and the antar lord is an enemy to the dasa lord and/ or the Lagna lord then the antar would be very troublesome. 18. During During the dasa of a planet, the house where where the antar lord is placed the results of that house would be specifically felt. For example, if someone is running the dasa- antar of Sun- Moon; and Moon is placed in the 5th house from the dasa lord, them the 5th house effect would be specifically experienced. The good or bad results to be experienced related to that bhava would be based on whether or not the dasa and antar lords are well placed. 19. If the dasa dasa lord lord is capable capable of give give both both good good and bad result resultss (such (such as a plane planett becomi becoming ng an yogakaraka as well as maraca at the same time) by the virtue of its placement and yoga, then the good results would be felt during the antar of planets beneficially disposed and the negative results would be felt during to the antar of negatively disposed planets. 20. During the dasa of a planet, whichever house house it transits from the Lagna, the result result of that particular house would be specifically felt during such transit. 21. The results of the dasa are modified based on the transit of the dasa lords in different signs. If the dasa lord goes to an enemy’s sign or the sign of debilitation or the sign having lesser bindus (less than 4) in the dasa lord’s astakavarga, astakavarga, or the sign having lesser bindus in the sarva-astakavarga and
in addition having transiting a malefic house (reckoned from Moon), then the effect would be extremely negative if the dasa is of an evil planet or if it is of an auspicious planet, then its auspiciousness would be greatly reduced. 22. On the contrary, contrary, if the dasa lord moves to its sign of exaltation/ mulatrikona/ own/ friend’s friend’s sign and / or in a sign with high astakavarga in the dasa lord’s astakavarga, then the effect of the dasa during that time would be extremely good, if the dasa is of an auspicious planet or lesser troublesome, if the dasa is an evil dasa. 23. The effect of the dasa planet can be seen in different areas of life from the Divisional charts related related to that particular area of life. To To understand this, one needs to study the divisional charts and then intelligently apply the dasa rules in those charts. 24. In the mahadasa of a planet, the the antar would be good if: i. The The anta antarr lord lord is a frie friend nd to the the dasa dasa lord lord ii. The antar antar lord lord is a friend friend to the lagna lagna lord lord iii. The antar lord is well placed placed as reckoned reckoned from the dasa lord iv. iv. The antar antar lord lord is relate related d to the dasa dasa lord lord v. The antar antar lord lord is well well placed placed as reckon reckoned ed from from the Moon. Moon. 25. The dasa of the 2nd and 7th lord lord from a bhava becomes the marakesh marakesh dasa for that bhava. If these these planets are weak and afflicted then it would surely cause trouble to the significations of the bhava under consideration. 26. Similarly during during the dasa of the 12th lord from a bhava, the native suffers losses related the bhava under consideration 27. During the dasa of the 8th lord from a bhava, the relations ruled by the the concerned bhava suffers ill ill health, if the said planet is weakly placed and/ or afflicted.
