I am Leo Rising (rahu in 1st), Mars in 4th, Sun, Venus and mercury in 5th,
moon in 8th in Pisces and Jupiter in 12th in Cancer, and finally Saturn in
10th. I will be finishing my Moon dasa soon. I basically had a lot of good
luck and it
was also a relatively quiet spiritual period. I was also going through
sade-sati (which
just ended and was actually not a very bad time, except for a brief KARMIC-I
believe-
marriage that did not last, although ended smoothly and quickly.

I will be going through Mars dasa soon. My Mars is in 4th in Scorpio and
rules
the 9th, even though aspected by Saturn in 10th. 9th represents higher
education
travel to exciting places (India???), and spirituality, I believe.

What I am interested in knowing is if the parivartana yoga of the 8th and 12th
is effective for one's whole life or just in the dasas of those planets?
Since Mars
is ruler of 9th, spirituality, it seems it would fit in with the 8th and 12th
parivartana
yoga and would be a continuation of that energy, but perhaps more expressive
in some way in the world.

Any comments by all you experts would be appreciated
