This is a tough one. If the birthtime is correct, troubles in Venus dasa are

quite inexplicable.

However, here is something worth considering.

 

Vimsottari dasa is not always the best dasa to use. If all the quadrants from

the stronger

reference of lagna, Moon and Sun are occupied, then kendradi graha dasa that

starts from that

reference works very well. This is also called "Moola dasa".

 

Even when all the quadrants are not occupied, Moola dasa works very well. This

dasa is excellent

for a quick delineation of life phases.

In this chart, Moon is the strongest reference. The rule used: "swaami gurujna

drig yogaha".

Jupiter and dispositor (Jupiter again) aspect Moon. Start Moola dasa from Moon.

Because Moon is in

Pi, an even sign, we count panaparas and apoklimas in reverse. We should take

the planets in

quadrants in the order of strength, then the planets in panaparas in the order

of strength, and

finally the planets in apoklimas in the order of strength. So we should look at

planets in Pi, Sg,

Vi and Ge in the order of strength, then planets in Aq, Sc, Le and Ta in the

order of strength, and

then planets in Cp, Li, Cn and Ar in the order of strength.

 

(1) Planets in Pi, Sg, Vi and Ge: They are Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun and Mars.

Jupiter and Saturn

are strongest because they are 2 planets together. Jupiter is the strongest (own

sign) and then

Saturn. Then is Moon (aspected by Jupiter and dispositor). Then Sun and then

Mars, because Vi

containing Sun is stronger than Ge containing Mars (Mercury is in an odd sign

and Vi is even).

 

(2) Planets in Aq, Sc, Le and Ta: They are nodes. Rahu in Le is stronger because

Le is stronger

than Aq. Sun is in an even sign and Le is odd.

 

(3) Planets in Cp, Li, Cn and Ar: They are Venus and Mercury, who are together

in Li. Venus is

stronger (in own sign).

 

So the final order is:

 

Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, Sun, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Venus and Mercury.

Jupiter is in his moolatrikona and his dasa is for 16 years. We get a count of 3

by counting houses

from Saturn in Sg to his moolatrikona Aq. We see that 3-1=2. So Saturn dasa is

for 19-2=17 years.

>From Moon in Pi to his moolatrikona Ta, count is 3. We see that 3-1=2. So Moon

dasa is for 10-2=8

years.

 

Jupiter: 1960-1976

Saturn: 1976-1993

Moon: 1993-2001

 

Despite any yogas in this chart, Moon dasa is not very good. Moon is in 12th

from lagna (gives

wandering and instability). Arudha of Moon is in 8th from lagna (the native's

perception:

confusion, pressures and trouble). Moon is in the 8th from arudha lagna

(people's perception is:

native is not doing well).

 

Thus all the three lagna-Moon interactions show bad results. Moon dasa is not a

great dasa.

Especially the last 1.5 years saw the antardasas of nodes (not that good).

[Note: Antardasas in

Moon dasa go just as dasas above. All antardasas have equal duration.]

 

Venus antardasa will run for most of the next year. Things should be better from

this year end.

Though Venus is a yogakaraka, his Moola dasa comes too late in life. Moola dasas

running for the

last several years being ordinary, we cannot expect mahapurusha yoga to

manifest.

 

Which dasa is the most suitable for judging a particular matter for a particular

person is a tough

question. For general delineation of life phases, however, Moola dasa is pretty

good. Vimsottari

dasa doesn't work well in all charts.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
