Periods and Sub-periods and their effects Part 5

Dr. Shanker Adawal

Part 5

In Brihat Samhita it is stated in detail regarding the complexion due to elements of each of the seven planets:

“The complexion discernible in-sharing teeth, skin, nails and hairs of the body and of the head will be attended with prosperity; it is caused by the element of earth; it makes the person happy, rich and virtuous.”

“The complexion which is glossy, white, clear, green and agreeable to look at is caused by the element of water; it will make all creatures possessing it happy and successful in all their attempts and will produce wealth, comfort, luxury and prosperity.”

“The complexion which is fearful, unbearable, of the colour of the lotus, gold or fire, and indicating strength, power and valour, is caused by element of fire, and it brings success to a person and enables him to gain his desired object.”

“Te complexion, which is dirty, not glossy black, has bad smell. It is caused by the element of air; it will cause to the person death or imprisonment, disease, ruin and loss of wealth.”

“The complexion which is of the colour of crystal, noble, clear and indicating wealth and generosity, is caused by the element of ether; it gives a person all that he desires.”

Now, suppose the Period to be that of Mars; his element is fire; the complexion caused by the elementary principle of fire described above will be the complexion of a person in the Period of Mars and so for the other planets.

Again, the property of earth is smell, discernible by the nose; that of water is taste discernible by the tongue; that of fire or light is shape or appearance discernible by the eyes; that of air is touch discernible by the body; and that of akas is sound discernible by the ears.

Suppose the Period to be that of Venus; his element is water; the quality belonging to water is taste discernible by the tongue. Therefore, in the Period of Venus, the person will eat juicy meals according to his desire.

In the Period of Jupiter (akas-sound), the person’s speech will be Sweet and agreeable to the ear;

In the period of Mercury (earth-smell), the person’s body will be with an agreeable odour;

In that of Mars (fire-shape), he will be of an agreeable appearance; and

In that of Saturn (air-touch), he will be of soft body.

From a careful observation of these qualities and also the effects of the Period and Sub-period, the particular Period a person may also be determined.

In the benefic Period of a planet, the good effects are caused immediately by the Divine Soul living within the body and assuming for the time being a benefic nature. When a person is found to enjoy the good effects described for a planetary Period, it may be concluded that such Period is going on at the time. As regards the effects described for planets which might be powerless, these are experienced by a person either in his dream or in mental imagination only.

If the effects of a planet be found to be benefic, under one type of yoga and malefic in respect to the same point under another yoga, (if under one yoga, a planet is declared to bring wealth and under another to destroy it.) Neither of the effects will occur; if two or more yogas give a character, one a different character to one and the same planet, the former will take effect. But if, to two distinct planets, conflicting effects have been assigned, both will come to pass in their respective Period periods.

Sandhya Dasa

Sandhya is the Dawdasamsa Ayu of the Full Ayu (maximum possible life-span i.e. 120 years) of various signs (Rasi), not of planets.

1. In Sandhya Dasa the Dasa of all the Signs from Ascendant onwards is of 1/12th years of Full Ayu.

2. The first Dasa of ten years will be of the planet in the ascendant, than next Dasa will be of the planet in second house and so on.

Pachaka Dasa of Sandhya Dasa

Multiply the Dasa years of Sandhya Dasa by six and dividing the product by 31, the resultant years, months etc., so arrived, at may be put in 1st column of a Table i.e. Lagna.

1. Thereafter, half of these years, months etc. may be written in the next three columns (i.e. 2nd, 3rd & 4th houses). The remaining eight compartments, (i.e. 5th house onwards) be filled in by one third value, of the resultant years, months of 1st column (Lagna) etc.

2. In this manner Pachaka Dasa in Sandhya Dasa of every Bhava can be worked out and predictions may be mode from it.

Tara Dasa

Tara Dasa is similar to Vimsottari Dasa.

1. In this Dasa Janma, Sampat etc. in respective order total 9 Taras replace the planets Sun, Moon, Mars etc., placed in Angles or centre.

2. The effects of Tara Dasa will be according to similar to their names.


3. This Dasa is applied in those cases only, where there are Planets placed in Kendra in a birth chart. When there is more number of Planets, the first Dasa will belong to the strongest amongst them.
