How to Predict About A Particular Day? Written By Vishal Aksh

This question is generally asked about how a day is predicted astrologically. Is there any simple rule to predict this? This question appears to be simple but the answer to this question is not simple. In fact nothing is simple while predicting through astrology.

The following are the simple rules given in classical Vedic astrology to find out the results for any particular day. These are very useful.

First ascertain the result giving capabilities of the prevailing mahadasha. If mahadasha is found to be effective for benefice / malefic giving results then these results benefic / malefic occurs:

(1)  In the weekdays ruled by mahadasha lord e.g. if the effective dasha going on is of Moon than one may gets its benefic / malefic results on Mondays. The same results should be applied for effective antardasha & pratyantardasha.

(2) The days ruled by the Nakshatras of mahadasha lord e.g. if the effective mahadasha going on is of Saturn than one may gets its benefic / malefic results on the days ruled by the Saturn’s Nakshatra such as Pushya, Anuradha & Uttarbhadrapad. The same results should be applied for effective antardasha & pratyantardasha.

(3) When Moon transits the exaltation sign of benefic effect giving dasha lord the good results of the mahadasha exist within its transit e.g. if the mahadasha of well disposed Sun is going on than its benefic results exists when Moon transits Mesh rashi i.e. the exaltation sign of Sun. Whatever has been said about this transit should equally applied to effective antardasha & pratyantardasha.

(4) When Moon transits over 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th house with respect to benefic results giving mahadasha lord the result is good otherwise there will be adverse results. While in its mentioned benefic transit with respect to mahadasha lord this Moon represents certain house from Lagna and the benefic effect of that represented house will come to pass e.g. if benefic effect giving Dasha of Jupiter is going on and transits 11th house with respect to this mahadasha lord Jupiter representing 10th house from lagna then this benefic transit of Moon gives the benefic result of 10th house i.e. career. In this way the benefic & malefic results of any house in a horoscope are estimated. The same thing should be applied in case of effects giving antardasha & pratyantardasha.
Moon transits a sign of zodiac with about 2.25 so the results attributed to the transit of Moon in (3) and (4) comes to within a period of 2.25 days.

Irrespective of mahadasha / antardasha this Moon also gives benefice results while transiting through 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th houses with respect to its natal position provided no planets except Mercury transit the corresponding Vedha places, i.e. 5th, 9th, 12th, 2nd, 4th & 8th.

In Varshphal, annual horoscope is cast to predict about a year, Month horoscope to predict about the month and Day horoscope to predict about a day. This is very wonderful scheme in Vedic astrology to predict about a year, month and a day.

The predictions about any day can be given on the basis of Vedic horary astrology i.e. prashan Kundli. Is someone puts a question concerning the benefic or malefic nature of a particular day then the position of Moon in the horoscopes cast at sunrise and sunset of that day is to be judged and if Moon is found to be well disposed in both the horoscopes then that day will be very good and the day concerned will be adverse if the positions of Moon found otherwise.

In my long experience in the field of astrology I have found aforesaid rules very general in nature and they are in the form of raw materials. Only research work along with experience is required to refine them. A person with deep knowledge of astrology can understand it.

More About Dashaphala

The most important feature of Vedic Jyotish to know the time of the fructification of events stored in one’s horoscope is the Dasha. There are various dasha described in the ancient texts on Vedic Jyotish but nowadays only Vinshottri dasha, Yogini Dasha, Ashttotri Dasha & Kaalchakra Dasha are used widely out of them. The Dasha are highly regarded in ancient texts on Vedic Jyotish and supposed to give Karmaphala and that is why the nature of Dasha is described from various angles and the pattern of Dashaphala is given below:

(1) Sampurna Dasha:

When any planet is found powerful in Shadbala & occupies exaltation degrees of its exaltation sign then the Dasha of such planet is known as Sampurna Dasha.

But this definition of Sampurna dasha needs extension because only indication is given in its actual definition. Today we have defined life style in very manner and to become successful in life any one should have (1) Sound health to do works suited to his age group, (2) Perfect mental balance and presence of mind to get much success than desired, (3) Higher academic qualification, (4) Excellent profession and successes in it, (5) Supporting life partner, (6) Good children, (7) Excellent earnings and (8) Assets

So when any planet with 8 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and 40 or more than 40 benefice points in Sarvashtakavarga is found to be well disposed in D30, D6 & D8 charts(Sound health), D27 Chart (mental balance and presence of mind), D24 Chart (education), D10 Chart (profession), D9 Chart ( life partner), D7 Chart (Children), D11 Chart (earning and incoming of finances) & D16 Chart (assets) then its Dasha should also be known as Sampurna Dasha and my experience of about 25 years in the field of Vedic Jyotish confirms it.

In Yogini dasha system the dasha of Mangala (Moon), Dhaanya (Jupiter), Bhadrika (Mercury) and Siddha (Venus) when well disposed according to aforesaid extension prove to be Sampurna Dasha.

Sampurna Dasha gives vast prosperity.

(2) Purna Dasha:

If a planet is found less powerful in its Shadbla and occupies exaltation sign then this Dasha is known as Purna Dasha.

The above definition of Purna dasha needs further extension:
A planet having more than 4 benefic points but less than 8 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and more than 30 benefic points but less than 40 benefic points in Sarvashtakavarga and well disposed according to extended view as described under heading Sampurna Dasha should also be known as Purna Dasha.

In Yogini dasha system the dasha of Mangala (Moon), Dhaanya (Jupiter), Bhadrika (Mercury) and Siddha (Venus) when well disposed according to aforesaid extension prove to be Purna Dasha.

The Purna Dasha of planet gives prosperity.

(3) Aarohini Dasha:

If a planet occupies debilitated sign with within its depression degrees and moving towards exaltation Navansh then this Dasha period is known as Aarohini Dasha.

An adversely disposed planet with zero benefic point in its AshtakaVarga and less than 21 benefic points in Sarvashtakavarga and strongly disposed in aforesaid divisional charts then its Dasha should also be treated as Aarohini Dasha.

In Yogini dasha system the dasha of Mangala (Moon), Dhaanya (Jupiter), Bhadrika (Mercury) and Siddha (Venus) when well disposed according to aforesaid extension prove to be Aarohini Dasha.

Aarohini Dasha produces prosperity like Purna Dasha.

(4) Madhyama Dasha:

When a planet is found to leave its exaltation degrees and moving towards its depression Navansh than this Dasha is known as Madhyama Dasha.

Planet with 40 or more than 40 benefic points in SarvashtakaVarga with more than 4 but less than 8 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and adversely disposed in the aforesaid divisional charts should also be known as Madhyama Dasha.

In Yogini dasha system the dasha of Mangala (Moon), Dhaanya (Jupiter), Bhadrika (Mercury) and Siddha (Venus) when well disposed according to aforesaid extension prove to be Madhyama Dasha.

Madhyama Dasha is supposed to give less prosperity

(5) Mishraphala Dasha:

There are two types of Mishraphala Dasha :

(1) When a debilitated planet or adversely disposed occupies exalted Navansh

(2) When an exalted planet or well disposed planet occupies debilitated Navansh

Dasha of a planet with less than 4 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and less than 28 points in Sarvashtakavarga but well disposed in aforesaid divisional charts should also be known as Misharaphala Dasha.

Dasha of a planet with 8 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and 40 or more than 40 benefic points in Sarvashtakavarga found adversely disposed in aforesaid divisional Charts should also be known as Mishraphala Dasha.

In Yogini Dasha Pingla (Sun), Bhramari (Mars), Ulka (Saturn) or Sankata (Rahu) when becomes well disposed in divisional charts as explained aforesaid then this Yogini Dasha should be treated as Mishraphala Dasha.

In Yogini dasha system the dasha of Mangala (Moon), Dhaanya (Jupiter), Bhadrika (Mercury) and Siddha (Venus) when adversly disposed according to aforesaid extension prove to be Mishraphala Dasha.

Mishraphala Dasha gives mixture of good and bad results

(6) Avrohini Dasha:

The Dasha period of a planet leaving the exaltation degrees of its exaltation sign and moving towards debilitation sign is known as Avrohini Dasha

Avrohini Dasha is supposed to produce adverse results.


(7) Adhama Dasha:

While so moving as described under heading (6) any planet occupies debilitated Navansh then such dasha is known as Adhma Dasha

The planet with 40 or more benefic point in Sarvashtakavarga with 4 benefic points in its Ashtakavarga and adversely disposed in divisional charts as described aforesaid then its Dasha should be treated as Adhama Dasha

In Yogini Dasha Pingla (Sun), Bhramari (Mars), Ulka (Saturn) or Sankata (Rahu) when becomes well disposed in main chart and adversely disposed in divisional charts mentioned above then such Yogini dasha should be treated as Adhama Dasha.

Adhama Dasha gives destruction and least prosperity.

(8) Rikta Dasha:

The Dasha of a planet occupying depression degrees in its debilitated sign is known as Rikta Dasha.

In Yogini Dasha Pingla (Sun), Bhramari (Mars), Ulka (Saturn) or Sankata (Rahu) when becomes adversely disposed in main chart in their debilitation sign then this Yogini Dasha should be treated as Rikta Dasha.

Rikta Dasha gives miseries and poverty

(9) Anishta Dasha:

When in the condition described for Rikta Dasha the planet occupies debilitated Navansh then such Dasha is known as Anishta Dasha

In Yogini Dasha Pingla (Sun), Bhramari (Mars), Ulka (Saturn) or Sankata (Rahu) when becomes adversely disposed in main chart as well as in concerned divisional charts then this Yogini Dasha should be treated as Anishta Dasha.

Anishta Dasha gives miseries, poverty and all round destruction in each and every walk of life.

So the nature of Dasha should be judged very minutely as described above before giving any prediction.

Learner & researchers of Vedic Jyotish will find this article very useful.

What Is Sade Sati?

In the following article Sade-Sati is explained: -

This is the most controversial thing among the astrologers and common people of India following Vedic system of astrology.

A big question mark appears before Sade-Sati. Some learned are of the view that sade-sati is like a curse and predicting any good within this period is not advisable. Other learned are of the opinion that sade-sati is effect less. The common people who follow the astrological path get confused by these two prevailing views about sade-sati.

In my experience of many years in the field of astrology I have found sade-sati both effective & less effective. It is very difficult for an amateur astrologer to predict on the basis of sade-sati in advance.

But on the contrary when a sufferer comes and astrologer finds the phase of sade-sati working then he immediately injects the fear of sade-sati and thereby making him weaker & weaker. Instead of vaccinating so many remedies are prescribed and the poor person apart of following them gets punctured.

On the other hand a Sade-Sati sufferer appears before a research minded astrologer. He at once makes him fearless by saying sade-sati is effect less. So be sure nothing is going to be adverse. Both dasha & antar dasha are good and transit of Jupiter is favorable. So rest assured. But unfortunately in 3 to 6 months the person becomes bankrupt, meets with an accident and his entire business comes to standstill.

In above mentioned one case the person becomes mentally punctured and in second case the result needs not to be mentioned. In either case it was the person who suffered on account of astrologers in the phase of sade-sati.

Now a big question further arises how does a common person estimate that he should approach to a good astrologer in the phase of sade-sati?

Before that it will be better to understand the logic behind sade-sati. The sade-sati is nothing but the transit of Saturn from 12^th, 1^st & 2^nd houses from one’s rashi. Saturn roughly takes 2.5 years to transit a rashi. In sade-sati it will take 2.5*3=7.5 years to transit these three consecutive signs there by it is known as sade-sati.

In astrology Moon is treated as water and presides over मन. In other words there is astrological relationship between मन & जल. To make it more clear look at still water pond and simultaneously feel the मन. In still water pond a small air current creates disturbances in water. In water pond whether it is a small air current or something falling into the water pond result in the disturbances in the surface of water. Just like water pond filled with water the मन is filled with emotions & desires.

So, any negative or positive feeling, affect the मन. Hence the मन is a pond of emotions & desires. Thus astrologically water pond model fits Moon.

Following this rule, in astrology, the transit of every planet except Moon & Venus on one’s Moon sign is treated as inauspicious and results in emotional disturbances & non fulfillment of one’s desires. Moon & Venus are supposed to be watery planets and water easily mixes with water hence transit of Moon & Venus over Moon sign is considered as auspicious.

Further all planets transiting 12^th sign from one’s Moon sign give inauspicious results except Venus. All the benefices like Jupiter, Venus & Mercury except Moon give good results and all the malefic like Saturn, Mars & Sun give bad results while transiting 2^nd sign from one’s Moon sign.

It is clear from above, that malefic planets, such as Saturn, Mars & Sun while transiting through 12^th, 1^st & 2^nd signs from one’s Moon sign give adverse results. Among the malefic planets Sun transits a sign in 30 days, Mars in 45 days & Saturn in 2.5 year.

Sun takes 30*3=90 days to transit three consecutive sign, Mars takes 45*3= 135 days and Saturn takes 2.5*3 = 7.5 years to transit three consecutive signs.

The total time taken by Sun to transit three consecutive signs is very less i.e. only 90 days and that of Mars is 135 days which is less than half a year. Here comes what is known as will power of a person. This is the will power which strengthens the मन in astrological terms this will power strengthens the Moon.

The transit of Mars & Sun is not strong enough to disturb one’s will power & psychology and thus astrologically there is no damage to the strength of Moon.

On the other hand 7.5 years of the transit of Saturn i.e. sade-sati badly affects the emotions & psychology of a person and there by punctures the one’s will power there by crushes one’s desires.

By nature Saturn is तामसिक. It imparts its तामसिक nature to Moon in its sade-sati thus making one’s मन totally तामसिक and with this result negative feelings start evolving. The stability of मन collapses and because of this there is total inability to take full use of one’s intelligence. Thus within this period one’s major decisions of life prove fruitless.

Within Sade-Sati one’s power of judgment also crushes and thus the intellect to decide good or bad and right or wrong becomes inactive.

Then this worried, confused & unhealthy मन affects one’s health and sometimes one’s prosperity. But if the Moon (मन) is strong then sade-sati does not affect the मन much and thus there is saving of one’s physical and mental health along with one’s prosperity up to a great extent. That is why earlier I have written sade-sati is either effective or less effective. Affectless sade-sati is a rare phenomenon.

Let me explain the working of sade-sati from an old and well known story. Here I would like to write this story in brief as to make this very clear: -

Once upon a time in a jungle there lived two animals one was a rabbit and another tortoise. They never liked each other and tried their best to defame other one. Once for becoming superior both of them decided to have a race and the winner would be declared as superior.

A race was started between them. The rabbit was fast runner and that of tortoise a slow runner. The rabbit ran very fast and tortoise was slowly chasing him. After some time, rabbit was miles away from tortoise. Here is the first stage of this story where rabbit was being chased by tortoise in a race.

After going far away rabbit suddenly stopped and moved back and there was no tortoise but here only he knew that he is being chased by that tortoise. The rabbit started thinking that he had almost won the race and some formalities are still there to make him final winner. He thought it would be very good to have a rest till the arrival of tortoise and as soon as tortoise would arrive there he will again run very fast and in this way he would make tortoise further depressed. Finally rabbit took a rest under a tree situated nearby. Because of his confidence his ego touched the hike and with this effect he slept under that tree. After a long time interval the tortoise approached him and he saw the rabbit sleeping under that tree. That tortoise slowly moves ahead. The tortoise approaching the sleeping rabbit slowly is the second stage of this story.

Now the entire scene was changed the tortoise was miles away from the sleeping rabbit. When rabbit wake up he saw footprints of that tortoise nearby. He at once ran very fast and in entire he saw nothing but the footprints of that tortoise. The slow runner tortoise won the race. The slow runner tortoise became invisible to the eyes of that rabbit by leaving him behind and thus creating his own victory. It is the third stage of this story.

Perhaps everyone knows this story. If this story is judged astrologically then it wonderfully shows the working of sade-sati. Astrologically Moon presides over rabbit and Saturn presides over tortoise. In entire three stage of this story rabbit was found sleeping showing the position of radical Moon in one’s horoscope. In first stage tortoise’s chase towards sleeping rabbit shows the 12^th house transit of Saturn from one’s radical Moon. In the second stage of the story, the tortoise approaching the sleeping rabbit slowly shows Saturn’s transit over one’s radical position of Moon. The third stage of this story in which slow runner tortoise becomes invisible to the eyes of the rabbit by leaving him behind and his becoming of final winner shows the transit of Saturn 2^nd from the house occupied by radical Moon in one’s horoscope.

Sade-Sati is supposed to give its indications around six months before its actual commencement.

Now a day with the increasing popularity of Vedic Astrology the common people also have awareness about astrological terms and its working. On this basis the common people are classified into two groups (1) the first group belongs to those people who can understand horoscope and its patterns. (2) This second group belongs to those people who understands the general terms used in astrology but cannot understand the horoscope and its patterns.

The following are the indications of sade-sati by tracing which one may prepare oneself to approach a good astrologer. These sade-sati indications are given on the basis of above mentioned two groups.

(1)    Indications of sade-sati for group (1): - If one finds in horoscope the phase of sade-sati and in addition to that he also finds (1) the yogni dasha of ulka or sankata is going on within the period of sade-sati. (2) In Kaal Chakra dasha among simhavlokan gati, markati gati or mandooki gati any one of them is going on. (3) In one’s family a large number of members are under the phase of sade-sati. If anyone or more symptoms occurs only than one should think to approach an astrologer.

(2)    Indications of sade-sati for group (2): - If one finds consecutive weekdays e.g. around 8 consecutive Saturdays, Tuesdays, Sundays or any other weekdays, in the initial phase of sade-sati, tough and some repeated bad events occurs on these weekdays then one should approach to an astrologer. Here bad events are (1) minor injuries (2) Occurrence of repeated fever (3) A specific person becoming source of trouble every consecutive weekday (4) Repeated losses in these consecutive weekdays (5) Having dreadful same dreams in these days.

IN THE ABOVE ARTICLE I HAVE NOT CRITICIZED ANY ASTROLOGER DEVOTED TO ASTROLOGY. BUT SOMEHOW THE ASTROLOGERS CRITICIZED IN ABOVE ARTICLE ARE THOSE WHO MISSLEAD THE PUBLIC AND HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ASTROLOGY.
