Bhava Dasa: A Method for Time-Based
Predictions
Bhava Dasa is a systematic method for the approximate
yet insightful timing of events in astrology. The following is a concise
explanation of its calculation and predictive application.
Calculation method:-
Calculation Method:
1.
Total
Duration:
o The total span of the Bhava Dasa is 108 years.
o It is divided into three cycles, each lasting 36
years.
2.
Cycle
Distribution:
o The first cycle corresponds to the Kendra
Bhavas (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses).
o The second cycle corresponds to the Panaphara
Bhavas (2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th houses).
o The third cycle relates to the Apoklima
Bhavas (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th houses).
3.
Starting
Points of Each Cycle:
o The first cycle starts from the 1st house.
o The second cycle starts from the 2nd house.
o The third cycle starts from the 3rd house.
4.
Division
of Each Cycle:
o Each cycle is divided into four Maha Dasas
(major periods) of nine years each, distributed across the four houses
relevant to that cycle.
§
First cycle: 1st → 4th → 7th → 10th houses
§
Second cycle: 2nd → 5th → 8th → 11th
houses
§
Third cycle: 3rd → 6th → 9th → 12th houses
5.
Subdivision
of Maha Dasa:
o Each 9-year Maha Dasa is further subdivided into nine
1-year sub-periods.
o The sequence of sub-periods follows a pattern:
§
The first year belongs to the same
house as the Maha Dasa.
§
The next three years go to every 4th
house forward from the previous (e.g., 4th, 7th, 10th).
§
The fifth year again returns to the
house of the Maha Dasa.
§
This cycle repeats such that the main
house appears three times, and the remaining square (Kendra) houses
appear twice each.
6.
Usage of
Charts:
o Use the Chalit chart according to Shripati’s
method.
o For age-wise predictions, equate 1 year = 1 solar
return.
Illustrative Example of Age-wise
Prediction:
If the native is currently 25 years old,
they fall into:
- The first cycle (1–36 years), i.e., Kendra
Bhava Dasa.
- The third Maha Dasa (19–27 years), which
belongs to the 7th house.
- Within this, the 25th year falls into the sub-period
of the 1st house.
- This is because
the 1st house appears in the 1st, 5th, and 9th sub-periods of any 9-year
Maha Dasa.
- So, the 21st and
25th years both fall under the sub-period of the 1st house within the
major period of the 7th house.
Prediction Guidelines:
1.
General
Effects:
o The Maha Dasa (major period) gives results
primarily of the house it represents.
o It also activates the houses in trine (1st, 5th,
9th) and the 7th house from it.
o The same principle applies to sub-periods.
2.
House
Lords and Karakas:
o The Dasa of a house where the lord of a
significant house or its karaka (significator) is placed can trigger
results of that significant house.
o Example:
§
If the 7th lord and Venus are in
the 10th house, then:
§
Marriage is likely between ages 27–36 (10th house
Dasa), depending on their strength and afflictions.
§
If strong and unafflicted, marriage can
also occur in the 4th or 10th sub-periods during the 7th house Maha
Dasa.
§
In the 10th house Maha Dasa, the 10th,
4th, and 7th sub-periods are also favorable.
§
Periods of the 2nd and 6th houses
may also be helpful, even if Venus and the 7th lord are weak.
3.
Timing by
Karaka Placement:
o If a karaka planet is in the first half of
any house, the results may manifest in:
§
The first half of the house's Maha
Dasa
§
Or the sub-period of that house
4.
Malefic
Periods and Harmful Results:
o Negative outcomes may occur when:
§
Malefics occupy trinal or Kendra
positions from the Dasa house
§
The house is under Papkartari Yoga
(hemmed between malefics)
§
The 4th, 8th, and 12th houses from
the Dasa house are occupied by malefics
§
Both 3rd and 8th houses are
afflicted (a Maraka yoga)
§
The Dasa house is aspected by malefics, and
its lord is weak or afflicted
Example: - Observe some examples. The casting of the horoscope is
according to Lahiri Ayanamsa and Chalit chart according to Shripati`s method.
Example 1: Late Marriage
- Date of Birth: January 10, 1966, 13:00 hrs
- Place: Bareli, Madhya Pradesh (23N00, 78E18)
- Event: Marriage at age 36
At age 36, the last part of the Kendra Dasa (10th house) was active
(28–36 years).
Sub-period also fell in the 10th house, which hosts Venus.
Despite affliction, the placement in the Dasa house made marriage
possible during this period.
Example 2: Early Demise
- Date of Birth: February 2, 1975, 20:10 hrs
- Place: Gwalior (26N12, 78E12)
The native was running the sub-period
of the 1st house in the Maha Dasa of the 7th house.
The 7th house was occupied by 8th lord Jupiter, a classic Maraka
placement.
The 4th, 8th, and 12th houses from the 7th were all occupied by malefics.
Saturn, karaka for longevity, was in the 11th (trine to 7th), under malefic
aspect, and aligned with the 8th in Navamsa.
The 1st house, under sub-period, was aspected by afflicted Saturn, and
its lord (Sun) was weak in the 6th, an enemy sign, and aspected by Ketu.
Both the 7th and 1st house periods were therefore death-inflicting.
