Thanks. > > Donna Om namo Narayanaya. Computing Narayana Dasa - Steps: (1) Take lagna and 7th from it. See which is stronger. (Rule 1 of strength: A sign occupied by more planets is stronger. Other rules: see Sanjay's first book.) (2) Start dasas from that sign. Based on whether the 9th from that sign is odd-footed or even-footed, dasas will progress in *forward* (Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn etc) or *backward* (Pi, Aq, Cp, Sg etc) order. [Note: Ar, Ta, Ge and Li, Sc, Sg are odd-footed signs. Rest are even-footed.] (3) Based on the initiating sign, use one of the 3 progressions: (a) If the initiating sign is moveable (chara), progression is regular. Examples: Aries (forward) - Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn etc; Cancer (backward) - Cn, Ge, Ta, Ar etc. (b) If the initiating sign is fixed (sthira), progression is every 6th. Examples: Leo (forward) - Le, Cp, Ge, Sc, Ar etc; Taurus (backward) - Ta, Sg, Cn, Aq, Vi, Ar etc. © If the initiating sign is dual (dwiswabhava), progression is 5th, 9th, 10th etc (i.e. finish trines and move to the next set of trines). Examples: Virgo (forward) - Vi, Cp, Ta, Ge, Li, Aq, Pi, Cn etc; Taurus (backward) - Ge, Aq, Li, Vi, Ta, Cp, Sg, Le etc. (4) This is the sequence. Now we have to find the years in each dasa. (a) Count from dasa sign to dasa sign's lord. In the case of Scorpio and Aquarius, take the stronger of two lords. (Check rules of strength in Sanjay's book.) (b) If the dasa sign is odd-footed, count forward and count backward if it is even-footed. © Subtract 1 year from it. (d) If lord is in that sign itself, it is 12 years. Examples: (a) Ar dasa is of 2, 6, 10 and 12 years if Mars is in Ge, Li, Aq and Ar respectively. (b) Le dasa is of 2, 6, 9 and 12 years if Sun is in Ge, Aq, Sc and Le respectively. (5) If lord is debilitated, subtract 1 year and add 1 year if lord is exalted (exception: Mercury's exaltation. It counts just as own house). Examples: (a) If Mars is in Cp, Ar dasa is of 10 years. If Mars is in Cn, Ar dasa is of 2 years. (b) If Sun is in Ar, Le dasa is of 5 years. If Sun is in Li, Le dasa is of 9 years. © If Jupiter is in Cn, Sg dasa is of 8 years and Pi dasa is of 9 years. If Jupiter is in Cp, Sg dasa is of 0 years and Pi dasa is of 1 year. (6) After dasas of all the 12 signs are over, start the second cycle. Sequence is the same as the first cycle, but dasa years will be 12 minus previous cycle years. Example: If we have "Ar: 4yrs, Ta: 2yrs, Ge: 11yrs etc" in the first cycle, second cycle will be "Ar: 8yrs, Ta: 10yrs, Ge:1yr etc". Rules for Antardasas: (1) Find the stronger of dasa sign and the 7th from it. (2) Take the lord of that sign. See the rasi occupied by him. Start antardasas from there. (3) If it is an odd sign, go forward. If it is an even sign, go backward. In either case, go in the regular order. Examples: (1) Leo (forward) - Le, Vi, Li, Sc, Sg etc (2) Taurus (backward) - Ta, Ar, Pi, Aq, Cp etc (4) All 12 antardasas are of equal duration. So if dasa is of n years, all antardasas will be of n months. [Note: 1 year=12 months, 1 month=30 days, 1 day=1 degree motion of Sun] * * * I have left a few things: (1) A few exceptions, (2) Narayana dasa of divisional charts and (3) How to weigh the strengths of signs and planets. I may write later. Read Sanjay's books meanwhile. * * * Now let us take your chart as an example, as requested by you. Your rasi chart: Rahu in Ar; Moon in Cn; Saturn in Le; Ketu in Li; Jupiter in Cp; Lagna, Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus in Aq. (1) Lagna is in Aq. We have to compare the strengths of Aq and Le. Aq is stronger with 4 planets (as opposed to 1 in Le). Start from Aq. (2) From Aq, 9th is Libra, an odd-footed sign. So proceed in *forward* order. (3) Since Aq is a fixed (sthira) sign, 3(b) applies. Progression is every 6th (see examples under 3(b)). Also it is forward from (2) above. So the dasa sequence is: Aq, Cn, Sg, Ta, Li, Pi, Le, Cp, Ge, Sc, Ar, Vi. (4) Aq: Rahu is stronger than Saturn (why? Later). Because Aq is even-footed, count backward from Aq to Ar (where Aq's lord Rahu is). Ar is the 11th house Aq, counting backwards. Subtract 1 and you get 10. Aq dasa is for 10 years. Cn: It is again even-footed. But lord Moon is in Cancer. So give 12 years. Sg: It is odd-footed and count forward. Jupiter is in 2nd from Sg. So 2-1=1 year. But he is debilitated. Subtract one year and it becomes 0. So Sg dasa is 0 years in first cycle (whole of Sg dasa - 12 years - will come in the second cycle). Ta dasa: Ta is odd-footed and so count forward. Venus is in 10th from Ta (in Aq). So give 10-1=9 years. And so on. You get: Sign Years Dasa period Aq: 10: 49-59 Cn: 12: 59-71 Sg: 0: Ta: 9: 71-80 Li: 4: 80-84 Pi: 1: 84-85 Le: 6: 85-91 Cp: 5: 91-96 Ge: 8: 96-2004 Sc: 3: 2004-2007 Ar: 10: 2007-2017 Vi: 7: 2017-2024 --------------------- Aq: 2: 2024-2026 (second cycle starts) Cn: 0: Sg: 12: 2026-2038 etc Now let me give an example for antardasas. Take Leo dasa (85-91). Find the stronger of Le and Aq (dasa sign and 7th from it). Aq is stronger. Take its lord. It is Rahu (who is, as mentioned earlier, stronger than Saturn). He is in Aries. Start there. It is an odd sign. So proceed forward. Antardasa of 6 months each are: Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn etc. * * * How to interpret this dasa? Later. Also, I have given some information in a previous post. Slowly absorb all the material in this post and try a few charts.
