Considerations
in Judging Planetary Periods
The Mahadasa or Major
Periods originate two types of Effects- firstly of general nature and second is
of pronounced nature which corresponds to the natural characteristics and
acquired position (in the horoscope) by the planets.
In judging the effects due
to the planets in a chart, and their successive combinations in their periods,
sub-periods, and inter-periods, one has not only to consider the dignities and
debilities of planets for deducing favourable or unfavourable results, but has
also to consider the age, position, and sex of the native, for the
significations of planets are expressed according to the age and the status of
an individual and living environs.
Planets are said to be in
dignity, when they are in exaltation and Mooltrikona (Joy of Western
Astrologers), in their own signs, having a mutual reception in their own signs,
in a friendly sign, in conjunction with or aspected by a benefic, in
conjunction with the ruler of the Ascendant, the ninth or tenth house or with
the period planet, in friendly temporal relations, in angles, trines, or the
eleventh house from the rising sign or significator.
Malefic are dignified by
their location in the third, sixth, or eleventh house.
Planets are said to be in
debility, when they are in their fall, in an unfriendly sign, in conjunction
with or aspected by a malefic, as lords of the third, sixth, eighth, and
eleventh houses either from the rising sign of significator, or aspected by the
rulers of evil houses.
Benefic as rulers of
angles are said to be in debility.
The Effects of the Periods
of the planets are ascertained on the basis of the strength of the planets.
Timing
of Giving Effects
The planet in the first
Drekkana, gives Effects in the beginning of the Period,
1. In
the second Drekkana, in the middle of the Period and
2. In
the third Drekkana, in the concluding part of the Period.
3.
The Effects of the retrograde planets be considered in the reverse order.
Thus – the consequential
effects of planets that of natural characteristic and placement in the
horoscope, be felt in the three different segments of the Dasa.
4. If
the planets are posited between 00 and 100, the effects be considered in the
first segment (part) of the Dasa (1/3rd Dasa) and,
5.
Between 10 deg and 20 deg, in the second (middle) segment and between 20 deg
and 30 deg in the third (last) segment of the Dasa.
6.
However, if the planet is in retrogression, including the Dasa of Rahu and
Ketu, the results of the first segment of the Dasa will be felt and the result
of planet in the first Drekkana will be considered.
Generalized
rules
Planets in conjunction
with the Sun are called Kopistta. They signify sinful conduct, disgraceful
life, and loss of wife, brother, and wealth, trouble from children, eye trouble
and danger from fire, the king, and thieves.
It must not, however, be
supposed that the planets in the periods ruled by them would produce uniform
good or bad results for there are within that period sub-periods of planets
which may be productive of good or bad results, according to their position in
the chart, as well as according to their position from the period planet taken
as the rising planet. The same reasoning prevails in judging the effects of
inter-period planets under a sub-period.
As a general rule, the
good and evil effects of the significations of the various houses in the chart
depend on the nature of the planets occupying them. The significations of
houses occupied by benefic are increased, while, when occupied by malefic they
are destroyed or nullified.
