Multiple Dasa Example: Bill Gates

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

I promised an example of multiple dasas in one chart in the past, but did not

get time fulfil the promise until now.

 

Readers may be tempted to think that I am an expert in multiple dasas and that

what I am teaching is perfect. I may also sometimes unknowingly encourage such

impressions. The fact, however, is that I am also continuously searching for

perfect knowledge and what I teach reflects what I know at this moment. I am

only teaching you what I could comprehend.from the teachings of my gurus and my

parampara. I only hope that it is useful to you and to the world.

 

Birthdata

 

I am taking Bill Gates as the case study. I do not want to go into the details

of birthtime rectification. Let us assume that this birthdata is accurate.

 

October 28, 1955Time: 21:21:30Time Zone: 8:00:00 (West

of GMT)Longitude: 122 W 20' 00"Latitude: 47 N 36' 00"

Let us take his accumulation of wealth in the 1990's and analyze it from various

perspectives using various dasas.

Dasa Analysis

 

(1) Vimsottari Dasa (from Moon)

 

Vimsottari Dasa (started from Moon):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Sat: 1940-02-29 (09:25:03) - 1958-08-06 (23:33:58) Mer: 1958-08-06 (23:33:58) -

1975-03-04 (02:50:14) Ket: 1975-03-04 (02:50:14) - 1981-12-17 (12:13:20) Ven:

1981-12-17 (12:13:20) - 2001-05-14 (15:51:21) Sun: 2001-05-14 (15:51:21) -

2007-03-11 (10:08:12) Moo: 2007-03-11 (10:08:12) - 2016-12-20 (08:00:35) Mar:

2016-12-20 (08:00:35) - 2023-10-05 (19:52:13) Rah: 2023-10-05 (19:52:13) -

2041-03-24 (17:43:56) Jup: 2041-03-24 (17:43:56) - 2056-10-30 (22:29:24)

 

He ran Venus dasa during 1980s and 1990s. Why was it a good dasa?

 

(a) Venus is the 5th lord in 5th. He shows name, fame and power. As per

Parasara, lagna lord, 5th lord, AK and PK bring raja yoga when in 1st/5th. Here

AK (Saturn), PK (Sun) and 5th lord Venus are together in 5th. This is a

brilliant raja yoga.

 

(b) Of all the three planets, Venus is the most powerful as per shadbala. He is

exceedingly strong. So he gives the results of the raja yoga.

 

© GL is the seat of power in a chart. Venus is GL lord in GL and promises a powerful position.

 

(d) In D-10 (career) also, Venus is a yogakaraka in the 5th house from Aquarius

lagna. He is in GL in D-10 too.

 

For all these reasons, Venus dasa is a great dasa.

 

However, Vimsottari dasa only shows events from the point of view of mind. One

may feel very powerful despite being in a small position. One may not feel

powerful despite being in a big position. However, it should be conceded that

experiences of mind often reflect what happens at the material level.

 

(2) Vimsottari Dasa (from Mandi)

 

Vimsottari Dasa (started from Maandi):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Ket: 1953-09-13 (05:13:30) - 1960-06-29 (00:12:48) Ven: 1960-06-29 (00:12:48) -

1979-12-23 (09:12:36) Sun: 1979-12-23 (09:12:36) - 1985-10-17 (23:11:13) Moo:

1985-10-17 (23:11:13) - 1995-07-02 (18:40:55) Mar: 1995-07-02 (18:40:55) -

2002-04-17 (12:18:38) Rah: 2002-04-17 (12:18:38) - 2019-10-02 (15:18:16) Jup:

2019-10-02 (15:18:16) - 2035-05-11 (14:10:56) Sat: 2035-05-11 (14:10:56) -

2053-10-16 (08:57:59) Mer: 2053-10-16 (08:57:59) - 2070-05-14 (05:12:39)

 

He is running Mars dasa since 1995. Gulika shows the evils that the native does

towards others and Mandi shows the evils of others towards the native.

Vimsottari dasa started from Mandi shows the sufferings thrown at one by the

world.

 

Mars is a functional malefic for Gemini lagna. He is the 6th lord and shows

enemies. So his dasa brought him worries from enemies. Rahu is in the 6th house

and his dasa may increase the troubles. Enemies may go after him very

aggressively in Rahu dasa.

 

(3) Narayana Dasa of Rasi Chart

 

Narayana Dasa of D-1 chart (a versatile phalita rasi dasa):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Ge: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1959-10-28 (22:00:28) Aq: 1959-10-28 (22:00:28) -

1964-10-28 (04:46:06) Li: 1964-10-28 (04:46:06) - 1976-10-28 (06:33:12) Vi:

1976-10-28 (06:33:12) - 1988-10-28 (08:25:33) Ta: 1988-10-28 (08:25:33) -

1993-10-28 (15:02:31) Cp: 1993-10-28 (15:02:31) - 1997-10-28 (15:50:18) Sg:

1997-10-28 (15:50:18) - 2005-10-28 (16:59:43) Le: 2005-10-28 (16:59:43) -

2014-10-29 (00:18:53) Ar: 2014-10-29 (00:18:53) - 2019-10-29 (07:12:53) Pi:

2019-10-29 (07:12:53) - 2026-10-29 (02:09:36) Sc: 2026-10-29 (02:09:36) -

2036-10-28 (15:39:05) Cn: 2036-10-28 (15:39:05) - 2040-10-28 (16:21:41)

While Vimsottari dasa shows things from the perspective of mind, Narayana dasa

shows what happens in reality. Narayana dasa shows the progress of lagna

throughout one's life. So we get 12 charts for each person in different parts

of life. It shows one's efforts in the changing environment.

 

In Ta dasa, Ta becomes lagna. Combination of lagna lord and 10th lord and also

exalted 5th lord in 5th made him successful. But the best was to come in Cp

dasa. Taking Cp as lagna, lagna lord Saturn is exalted in 10th and yogakaraka

(5th and 10th lod) Venus joins him. With both being very strong, there is a

great raja yoga. The 4th lord Mars with exalted 9th lord Mercury in 9th shows

accumulation of lands, real estate and fortune.

 

Sg dasa is running right now. From Sg, 5th and 10th lords conjoin in 10th.

Mercury and Mars in 10th show intelligent, enterprising and aggressive work.

Lagna lord (Jupiter) in 9th shows some dharmik work. Though there are a few

planets in 11th showing gains, debilitation of Sun (9th lord!) is unfavorable.

The 9th lord is very important as he shows our protection. "Fortune" is nothing

but the protection we enjoy. This shows some loss of fortune. More importantly,

Rahu in 12th from Sg shows constant fear in Sg dasa. So there will be worries

(Rahu in 12th) and setbacks (debilitation 9th lord), but he will do fine and

some of his best work will come now (Mercury and Mars in 10th).

 

Narayana dasa is the progress of lagna. It sheds light on one's efforts with

changing time. Raja yoga in the 10th house from Narayana dasa sign only shows

that he will put in excellent efforts. Whether the raja yogas of his natal

chart fructify or not and whether he enjoys prosperity or not is seen from

other dasas better. Narayana dasa defines, with time, what the native does and

what his environment is.

 

(4) Narayana Dasa of Dasamsa Chart

 

Narayana Dasa of D-10 chart (a versatile phalita rasi dasa):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Vi: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1964-10-28 (04:46:06) Ta: 1964-10-28 (04:46:06) -

1965-10-28 (10:52:36) Cp: 1965-10-28 (10:52:36) - 1971-10-28 (23:51:06) Sg:

1971-10-28 (23:51:06) - 1980-10-28 (07:09:35) Le: 1980-10-28 (07:09:35) -

1987-10-29 (02:15:08) Ar: 1987-10-29 (02:15:08) - 1993-10-28 (15:02:31) Pi:

1993-10-28 (15:02:31) - 1999-10-29 (04:08:14) Sc: 1999-10-29 (04:08:14) -

2009-10-28 (17:31:01) Cn: 2009-10-28 (17:31:01) - 2013-10-28 (18:16:00) Ge:

2013-10-28 (18:16:00) - 2019-10-29 (07:12:53) Aq: 2019-10-29 (07:12:53) -

2030-10-29 (02:48:47) Li: 2030-10-29 (02:48:47) - 2038-10-29 (03:58:06)

Dasamsa Narayana dasa shows the changes in the environment in which his karma

(activities/career) is conducted. Narayana dasa of Rasi chart also shows the

environment in which the native operates physically, but the stress is on

activities (career) in D-10 Narayana dasa.

 

In Pisces dasa, the native became very successful and made money and fame. Rahu

is lagna lord and he has rasi aspect on HL and GL (all in D-10). So Rahu is a

maha yogada in D-10. He is in Pisces and gives fame and money (possibly through

unscrupulous means - Rahu) in Pisces dasa. Actually, we should rephrase it to be

more accurate. Strictly speaking, Narayana dasa only shows the environment in

which one's activities (karma) are conducted. So Pisces dasa brings an

environment that is conducive to making money (HL) and fame (GL). Whether one

makes money/fame or not is better seen from Sudasa ruled by Lakshmi. Narayana

dasa ruled by Narayana shows efforts and environment. OTOH, Vimsottari dasa

shows whether one feels wealthy or not and powerful or not.

 

Often, there is link between all these aspects, but the point I want to drive

home is that each aspect is different and different dasas are ideal for each

aspect,

 

In Pisces dasa (aspecting GL and HL), power and wealth came in his career.

Because it is the 12th from AL containing Rahu, some setbacks to his image (in

his activities in society) are possible. Rahu in 12th from AL causes defamation

or scandals. Nevertheless, Pisces has A11 and A5. While the 11th house shows

gains, A11 shows material gains that can be seen by the whole world. A5 shows

trappings of power and authority. So this dasa brought a powerful position and

a lot of material gains.

 

>From October 1999, Scorpio dasa started. Scorpio has A6 (enemies and quarrels in

career). So this dasa is bringing lawsuits etc.

 

(5) Lagna Kendradi Rasi Dasa

 

Lagna Kendradi Rasi Dasa (fructification of yogas):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Ge: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1959-10-28 (22:00:28) Vi: 1959-10-28 (22:00:28) -

1971-10-28 (23:51:06) Sg: 1971-10-28 (23:51:06) - 1979-10-29 (00:58:35) Pi:

1979-10-29 (00:58:35) - 1986-10-28 (20:07:51) Cn: 1986-10-28 (20:07:51) -

1990-10-28 (20:37:13) Li: 1990-10-28 (20:37:13) - 2002-10-28 (22:32:18) Cp:

2002-10-28 (22:32:18) - 2006-10-28 (23:05:29) Ar: 2006-10-28 (23:05:29) -

2011-10-29 (05:55:04) Le: 2011-10-29 (05:55:04) - 2020-10-28 (13:16:58) Sc:

2020-10-28 (13:16:58) - 2030-10-29 (02:48:47) Aq: 2030-10-29 (02:48:47) -

2035-10-29 (09:37:31) Ta: 2035-10-29 (09:37:31) - 2040-10-28 (16:21:41)

Libra dasa ran during 1990's. As Libra contains GL and raja yogas already

mentioned, this dasa will see the fructification of that raja yoga. Unless LKR

dasa shows fructification of yogas, one's efforts will not result in the

fructification of the yogas in natal chart.

 

(6) Sudasa

 

Sudasa (phalita dasa showing Lakshmi's blessings):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Ta: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1960-06-19 (04:13:15) Le: 1960-06-19 (04:13:15) -

1969-06-19 (11:37:16) Sc: 1969-06-19 (11:37:16) - 1979-06-20 (01:06:48) Aq:

1979-06-20 (01:06:48) - 1984-06-19 (07:52:49) Ge: 1984-06-19 (07:52:49) -

1988-06-19 (08:20:04) Vi: 1988-06-19 (08:20:04) - 2000-06-19 (10:15:24) Sg:

2000-06-19 (10:15:24) - 2008-06-19 (11:26:28) Pi: 2008-06-19 (11:26:28) -

2015-06-20 (06:29:43) Cn: 2015-06-20 (06:29:43) - 2019-06-20 (07:01:53) Li:

2019-06-20 (07:01:53) - 2031-06-20 (08:51:14) Cp: 2031-06-20 (08:51:14) -

2035-06-20 (09:22:00) Ar: 2035-06-20 (09:22:00) - 2040-06-19 (16:16:55)

While Narayana gives efforts, Lakshmi gives prosperity. Virgo dasa with AL and

an exalted planet and aspecting HL gave status and wealth. So 1988-2000 was a

brilliant period. If only Narayana dasa and LKR dasa were good, the native

would've been exposed to a conducive environment and experienced yogas, but

would not have prospered at the same level. Unless Sudasa is also favorable,

there will be no prosperity.

 

While Narayana dasa and LKR dasa are based on lagna (physical being and physical

environment) and Vimsottari dasa is based on Moon (mind), Sudasa combines both

(Sree Lagna depends on both!) and shows prosperity - which is partly mental and

partly physical/material! Sudasa is the link between the mind and physical

enviroment!

 

(7) Trikona Dasa

 

Trikona Dasa (dasa showing purusharthas - four purposes in life):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Li: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1967-10-28 (23:12:19) Aq: 1967-10-28 (23:12:19) -

1972-10-28 (06:02:44) Ge: 1972-10-28 (06:02:44) - 1976-10-28 (06:33:12) Sc:

1976-10-28 (06:33:12) - 1986-10-28 (20:07:51) Pi: 1986-10-28 (20:07:51) -

1993-10-28 (15:02:31) Cn: 1993-10-28 (15:02:31) - 1997-10-28 (15:50:18) Sg:

1997-10-28 (15:50:18) - 2005-10-28 (16:59:43) Ar: 2005-10-28 (16:59:43) -

2010-10-28 (23:45:21) Le: 2010-10-28 (23:45:21) - 2019-10-29 (07:12:53) Cp:

2019-10-29 (07:12:53) - 2023-10-29 (07:44:35) Ta: 2023-10-29 (07:44:35) -

2028-10-28 (14:24:08) Vi: 2028-10-28 (14:24:08) - 2040-10-28 (16:21:41)

Trikona dasa shows how one follows the four purusharthas (purposes of man) in

life - dharma (duty), artha (money), kama (desiresz) and moksha (liberation). I

only make brief comments, as this dasa is not very popular.

 

We can see that dharma plays an important role in 1955-1976 (dasas of 5th, 9th

and 1st houses). Artha (money) plays an important role in life in 1976-1997

(dasas of 6th, 10th and 2nd houses). Kama (desires) plays an important role in

life in 1997-2019.

 

This is the basic idea. However, we should look at planets too. Mercury and

Jupiter show dharma; Sun and Mars show artha; Saturn shows Kama; and, Moon and

Venus show moksha. (Note: Digbala of shadbalas is based on purushartha

significations.)

 

(8) DrigDasa

 

Drigdasa (religious and spiritual activities):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Aq: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1960-10-28 (04:09:22) Li: 1960-10-28 (04:09:22) -

1972-10-28 (06:02:44) Cn: 1972-10-28 (06:02:44) - 1976-10-28 (06:33:12) Ar:

1976-10-28 (06:33:12) - 1981-10-28 (13:18:38) Cp: 1981-10-28 (13:18:38) -

1985-10-28 (13:56:05) Sc: 1985-10-28 (13:56:05) - 1995-10-29 (03:29:43) Le:

1995-10-29 (03:29:43) - 2004-10-28 (10:47:13) Ta: 2004-10-28 (10:47:13) -

2009-10-28 (17:31:01) Sg: 2009-10-28 (17:31:01) - 2017-10-28 (18:43:18) Pi:

2017-10-28 (18:43:18) - 2024-10-28 (13:57:13) Ge: 2024-10-28 (13:57:13) -

2028-10-28 (14:24:08) Vi: 2028-10-28 (14:24:08) - 2040-10-28 (16:21:41)

Drigdasa shows the directions taken in life, from a spiritual perspectives.

During 1985 to 1995, dasa of Scorpio with Rahu ran. Scorpio has no aspect on

lagna or AL. It contains Rahu, who gives materialism. The native is not likely

to follow a spiritual path. He runs Leo dasa with Jupiter until 2004. Jupiter

may give association with wise and learned people and some noble acts. Next

dasa of Taurus (12th house with Ketu!) from 2004 to 2009 is likely to see him

discovering the spiritual side of himself! While Rahu dasa (1985-1995) may have

seen him play the material side of himself to the core, Ketu in 12th can bring

some quest of liberation (moksha). With Ta aspecting A5, he may even start to

do some kind of sadhana. After Ta dasa, dasas of signs aspecting lagna and AL

will come. This may take him more on the spiritual path. This promise may

further be analyzed in D-20.

 

(9) Moola Dasa

 

Moola Dasa (dasa showing the root of events - past karma):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Sat: 1955-10-28 (21:21:30) - 1969-10-28 (11:27:12) Ven: 1969-10-28 (11:27:12) -

1989-10-28 (14:34:13) Sun: 1989-10-28 (14:34:13) - 1992-10-28 (08:57:59) Jup:

1992-10-28 (08:57:59) - 2004-10-28 (10:47:13) Ket: 2004-10-28 (10:47:13) -

2005-10-28 (16:59:43) Rah: 2005-10-28 (16:59:43) - 2020-10-28 (13:16:58) Mer:

2020-10-28 (13:16:58) - 2037-10-28 (21:52:59) Mar: 2037-10-28 (21:52:59) -

2044-10-28 (16:54:49) Moo: 2044-10-28 (16:54:49) - 2052-10-28 (18:02:14)

Moola means root and Moola dasa shows the root of events, i.e. past karma.

 

Maheswara gives moksha. Sun is in 12th (moksha) with mokshakaraka Ketu in D-60.

He is in Maheswaramsa - a shashtyamsa (D-60 part) owned by Maheswara, who gives

moksha. If this D-60 is accurate, it shows a sadhaka in past life, who made

great progress towards moksha. Sun represents all that punya. However, Sun's

arudha pada is in Cancer with lagna lord Venus's arudha pada and so Sun

represents the desire for a powerful position in career (arudhas of planets in

D-60 show desires of past life). So Sun shows a sadhaka who had a secret desire

for power. His moola dasa in this life rewards for the sadhana by giving the

desires of past life - a powerful position.

 

Next dasa is of Jupiter. Jupiter is also in moksha trikona like Sun and shows

sadhana. In Vahnyamsa (fire) in 8th, he shows dedicated sadhana under pressure.

His arudha in 4th house with those of nodes shows desire of comforts. In Jupiter

dasa in this life, that past life background acts as the root behind events.

 

Ketu dasa will run in 2004-2005. Though Ketu is in the 12th house in D-60, he is

in Kulaghnamsa (breaking succession). The native of past life may have been into

spiritual matters, but been attracted to material things and broken the

succession with dishonest acts. In Ketu dasa of this life, events may take

place which will make him pay for and correct the mistakes. Considering Ketu in

12th in this life's rasi chart also and considering that the corresponding

Drigdasa runs from 2004, I am inclined to think that Bill Gates will become

quite spiritual in 2004-2005.

 

(10) Kalachakra Dasa

 

Kalachakra Dasa (Savya group, Paramayush = 83 years):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Ge: 1947-11-02 (22:00:09) - 1956-07-27 (17:28:51) Ta: 1956-07-27 (17:28:51) -

1972-03-04 (23:50:15) Ar: 1972-03-04 (23:50:15) - 1978-12-19 (10:15:01) Pi:

1978-12-19 (10:15:01) - 1988-08-31 (06:08:17) Aq: 1988-08-31 (06:08:17) -

1992-07-19 (17:09:27) Cp: 1992-07-19 (17:09:27) - 1996-06-05 (15:58:39) Sg:

1996-06-05 (15:58:39) - 2006-02-18 (03:27:58) Ar: 2006-02-18 (03:27:58) -

2012-12-03 (12:37:39) Ta: 2012-12-03 (12:37:39) - 2028-07-11 (13:49:23)

 

Kalachakra dasa is also based on Moon, but based on his navamsa. While

Vimsottari dasa shows one's reactions and impressions, Kalachakra dasa is

better at showing attitudes, motivations and driving forces.

 

For example, Aq contains lagna in D-10 and a lot of positive energy and the

spirit of fresh start and development may have gone into his work in Aq dasa

(1988-1992). The next dasa is of Cp and it contains A3. The 3rd house shows

initiative and boldness and A3 shows how boldness shows up materially. A3 shows

bold and aggressive acts. A fiery planet in it adds fire. So, during the

Kalachakra dasa of Cp, the native is likely to feel aggressive and feel like

engaging in bold acts.

 

OTOH, Mercury in Sg aspected by Venus will give the desire to do something smart

and innovative in Sg dasa (1996-2006).

 

A topic as complicated as this cannot be clarified just by reading an article by

a fellow student like me. Sincere effort from inside is required for good

insight in such matters.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha
