4. View of Uttara- Kalamrita: The author of Uttar-Kalamrita, sage Kalidas, advocates that while calculating Mudda dasha (including balance of dasha) at the commencement of the year, Moon’s Nakshtra in annual chart should be taken into account instead of Moon’s Nakshtra in birth chart. The first dasha during the year will be that of Moon’s Nakshtra lord in the annual chart. In the example chart 12, Moon’s Nakshtra lord is Sun.

Hence the order of dashas and their duration as per this system will be Sun- 110 days; Moon- 60 days; Mars- 32 days; Mercury- 40 days; Jupiter- 48 days; Venus- 56 days; Saturn- 4 days; Rahu- 5 days; and Lagna- 10 days. This makes a total of 365 days.

Apparently the logic has some substance in it. However, the order and duration of dasha periods seems to be arbitrary without any rationale. It does not take into account Ketu’s dasha, though the Moon could well be in one of the Nakshtra of Ketu. Should Ketu then be taken equivalent to Rahu, to Mars or to the dispositor of Ketu. This hypothesis requires further research and testing before it could be considered. Therefore at present it is not in popular use.

5. Calculation of Sub-periods in Mudda Dasha: For a closure of timing, after deciding the major periods, one a should calculate sub-periods. In a given major period or Mahadasha (MD), the first sub-period or Antar dasha (AD) belongs to the same planet. The remaining sub-periods follow in the order of Vimshotri Dasha. The duration of sub-periods in each period is proportionate to each planet’s major period and is equal to multiple of dasha periods of major & sub-period lords in days divided by 360. For example the sub-period of Moon in major period of Sun will be 18 x 30/ 360 = 1.5 days or 1 day 12 hours.

3. Yogini Mudda Dasha

1. There are eight Yoginis namely Mangla, Pingla, Dhanya, Bhramari, Bhadrika, Ulka, Siddhya and Sankata with Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and Rahu/ Ketu respectively. In a birth chart, these Yoginins have a period of 1 month for Mangla, 2 months for Pingla, 3 months for Dhanya, 4 months for Bhramari, 5 months for Bhadrika, 6 months for Ulka, 7 months Siddhya, and 8 months for Sankata; with a total of 36 months. In an annual chart, Multiply these numbers by a factor 10 to get period of various Yoginis. Thus the eight yoginis in an annual chart have periods of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 70 days respectively with a total of 360 days. The eight yogini dashas alternatively belong to benefics and malefics and give alternatively good and bad periods.

3. Order of Yogini Dasha: To find out the first yogini dasha at the beginning of the year, add number of birth Nakshtra of Moon to completed years of native for the chart and a further addition of number 3. Divide the total by 8; forget the quotient, the remainder will denote the first yogini dasha in the beginning of the year. For example, in the annual chart for 41st year for Rajiv Gandhi (refer chart 19 & 20), the first yogini dasha will be:

40+11+3/ 8 or 54/8 gives quotient 6 and remainder 6
Thus the first yogini dasha will be sixth in the order i.e. Ulka to be followed by Siddhya, Sankata, Mangla, Pingla, Dhanya, Bhramari, Bhadrika, and Ulka again.

4. Balance of Yogini Dasha: out of the first yogini dasha, it is essential to find out balance of the dasha that is available for operation. For example in the example chart 12, We have seen that the first dasha in the beginning of the year is Ulka, which an operating period of 60 days. Let us calculate how much of it is available at the beginning of the year and how much will be available at the end of the year after dasha of Bhadrika. The formula for it is:

Total duration of Ulka x untraversed part of Moon’s Nakshtra at birth/ total duration of a Nakshtra i.e. 13-20’ or 800’

= 60 x 9032’/13-20’ or 60 x 572/ 800 = 42.9 days say 43 days

The balance period of Ulka dasha (60-43) 17 days will be at the end of the year after Bhadrika dasha.

Tajika Dashas


1. Introduction


The timing of events depends upon the transit or dasha system, in which planets are assigned a certain period of time. During this assigned period, the planets exert their influence and cause certain events occurring in the life of a native in accordance with changing operational periods of the dashas. This is the most outstanding feature of the oriental astrology in its application in timing of events. Various dashas have been discussed in respect of natal astrology. However Tajika authors have discussed only three types of dashas viz., Vimshotri Mudda dasdha, Yogini Mudda dasha and Patyayini (or Patyamsha) dasha. Out of these, first two are based on birth Nakshtra and the third on each planet including lagna.



2. Vimshotri Mudda Dasha or Mudda Dasha


Calculation of the dasha is done in following stepsA:



1. Add to the completed year of life, the number of Moon’s Nakshtra at birth, subtract two from the total, and divide the sum by nine. Ignore the quotient, the remainder number will give the dasha counted from Sun, from the commencement of the annual year in question. The deduction of two from the sum total is done to have the counting of dasha from Sun, eliminating Ashwani & Bharini Nakshtra of Ketu and Venus in the beginning. For example, let us take the birth chart and annual chart for 41st year in respect of Rajiv Gandhi as given at charts 19 & 20 above.

Completed year is 40 and the number of Nakshtra of Moon at birth, Poorva-falguni is 11. Therefore:



(40+11-2)/ 9 or 49/9 or

We get quotient 5 and remainder 4.



Remainder 4 means that the dasha operating at the time of commencement of the year starting from Sun will be of Rahu. The subsequent dasha to follow will be Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars and Rahu.



2. Duration of the Dasha: The dasha period of each planet is fixed and is given by number of years allotted to each planet in Vimshotri dasha X3 (360/ 120) Thus in an annual chart, the duration of various periods will be Sun 18 (6x3), Moon 30 (10x3), Mars 21 (7x3), Rahu 54 (18x3), Jupiter 48 (16x3), Saturn 57 (19x3), Mercury 51 (17x3), Ketu 21 (7x3), and Venus 60 (20x3) days respectively. This give a total of 360 days only. When 360 days are taken to represent a year, they represent 360 “solar days”, each of which would indicate the movement of Sun by one degree. The duration of such a solar day would be slightly more than our normal day of 24 hours. One should accurately spread the 360 days of the Tajika dashas over 365 days of the year by proportionately increasing the dasdha period.



3. Working out the balance of dasha: For this purpose, find out the exact Longitude of the Moon at the time of birth. This gives the Nakshtra at the time of birth as well as the extent of Nakshtra traversed by the Moon. The extent of Nakshtra yet to be traversed will give the balance of dasha at the time of Varshpravesh. In example chart 11, the longitude of the Moon at birth is 4-17-8’. The Moon is in Nakshtra Poorva-falguni, which spread from 4-13-20’ to 4-26-40’. This means that in this Nakshtra, Moon has traversed 3-48’ and the remaining period to be traversed is 9-32’ In sub-para 1 & 2 above, we see that operating dasha at the commencement of the year is Rahu and the period of Rahu dasha is 54 days. Therefore the balance of dasha will be (54 x 9-32’)/ 13-20’ = 38;61 days or 1 month 8.61 (or say 9) days. The remaining dasha of Rahu of 15 days will be towards the end of year after dasha of Mars. The dasha periods for the native of chart 11 & 12, for his 41st year starting w.e.f. 20 Aug 1984 will be as under:
