Notes By: Sachida Nand Pandey

Effects of Transiting Planets on Dasa-Bhukti Promises: Transit of planets modifies benefic or

malefic results of dasa-bhukti. "How?" is an interesting question? Planetary placements in a chart

indicate promises or say prosperity to cause a particular event. You may equate with an electric

bell at your door. Dasa Antardasha coming at an appropriate time is like availability of electric

current to the bell or planetary promises and propensities; transits of planets are just like pushing

the push button by the planetary force. The Bell would cause sound indication depending on the

kind of quality of the bell. It would continue to ring so long as it is pushed and so long current is

available. A fixed bell, without current would not ring. It would not ring without being pushed. Thus

favorable or unfavorable results get ignition touch from the favorable or unfavorable transits.

It may be understood as under:

Planetary Dasa-Bhukti Transit Result

Favorable Favorable Favorable Very Favorable

Favorable Favorable Unfavorable Favorable

Favorable Neutral Favorable Smooth Running

Favorable Unfavorable Favorable Promises and high expectations without being fulfilled

Favorable Neutral Unfavorable Baseless, apprehensions

Favorable Unfavorable Unfavorable Some Setback
Unfavorable Favorable Favorable Small Gains

Unfavorable Favorable Unfavorable Day Dreaming

Unfavorable Unfavorable Unfavorable Prominent Losses

1. An event which is not indicated in a natal chart shall not happen even in favorable dasa

with favorable transit. An event which is indicated would not happen in favorable dasa, if

transit do not support. If planetary promises are code numbered in a lock and dasa-bhukti

are all the favorable digits excepting last one-transits of planets are the best digit which

causes the opening of the lock.

2. Phala Deepika in its 16th Chapter gives very important clues to time event with the help of

transits of planets (i) For favorable results of any Bhava; the bhava and Bhava Lord should

be strong, well placed and well aspected. Otherwise one should not expect favorable

result. Unfavorable results may be expected.

Result relating to any Bhava to fructify

i. When Lagna Lord passed either over the house Lord or through the sign and

Navamsa in Trine from the house lord or vice-versa.

ii. When Lagna and Bhava lord either conjoins each other or aspect each other.

iii. When Karaka of that house passes over Lagnesh or Rasi.

iv. When Lagna Lord passes through concerned house.

3. Though Mantrashwara says that Rasi and auspicious Jupitarian trine aspect causes

favorable result to Bhava. But experience does not prove this direction always.

4. In this connection Lord of 6th, 8th or 12th passes over a weak Lagna Lord or Rasis and 6th,

8th or 12th Lord is also weak in natal chart, their passage should not be expected to be

favorable. But if both are strong then favorable results relating to these houses as well as

the house which they are transiting may be favorable.

5. Inter relationship of these planets is also omnipotent and fivefold relationship based on

natural and temporal relationship must be seen. If relationship is inimical then one can

expect anxiety relating to concerned house.

6. We do not accept Mantrashwar's views on transit. We on the basis of our experience say

that all planets join together to cause good or bad depending on circumstances and either

pass over Bhava lord of Bhava along with Lagnesh or Rasi or Lagna. To identify the house

which is likely to give result at c. given time, we apply first double transit of Saturn and

Jupiter. Saturn's passage indicates that hurdles in fructification of result of the transited

house being removed and Jupiter indicates "Daiva Krupa" for the fructification of the result

of that house. Transit of Rahu indicates material/worldly connections. Transit of Mars

indicates "Satwa" or essence with connected things. Transit of Venus indicates "Sukha" or

'Dukha" or enjoyment. Transit of Mercury indicates inclination of "Buddhi" towards a

particular direction; and transit of the Moon indicated "Manahsthi". Transit of Ketu indicates

some kind of separation or "Vivakta" relating to that "Bhava".

7. Slow moving planets indicates consistent continuous intensity and they are preferred to

indicate the year when they jointly come in contact with Lagna, Lagnesh or Rasi on one

hand and the concerned Bhava or Bhavesh. Same is true about slow moving Karakas.

Fast moving planets indicate concerned months and the Moon may indicate week.

Primarily, we confine the consideration and aspects to "full aspects". However secondarily

we may apply the trine Rasi and Navamsa aspect, as Mantreshwar applied in respect of

passage of Jupiter.

As has been pointed out earlier, then transits would give results only according to the

promises indicated by the birth chart and dasabhukti and Pratyantara only. Things not

indicated by them cannot happen. So transit help in timing an events, and quality of event,

indicated by birth chart and dasa bhukti etc.

It would be useful here to refer to some specific kind of events which are of general

interest.

a) Timing of Marriage: Following factors must be considered in timing of marriage.

(i) Propensity to get marriage.

(ii) Delay factors if any.

(iii) Dasa-bhukti and transit.

a) 7th Lord if it is conjunct with Venus,

b) In dasa or bhukti of 2nflord (or the Navamsa Lord of the Navamsa occupied by

it.

c) In dasa or bhukti of 8th lord.

d) In dasa or bhukti of 10th lord (or 9th lord) or

e) In dasa or bhukti of planet period in 7th and conjunct with 7th lord;

f) Dasa or Bhukti of Venus and Rahu have found to give marriage in good

numbers of cases.

Dasa and Transit together:

a) If the disposition of the 7th lord in Rasi or Navamsa chart is strong, then

marriage may take place in dasa-bhukti of such depositor-when Jupiter passes

over 7th Lord or in trine from 7th Lord.

 b) If the Moon or Venus is stronger then the marriage may take place in Dasa-

bhukti of the stronger amongst the Moon Venus; and when Jupiter passes over

the stronger of the two or in trine from it.

Find out the strongest and the second strongest amongst the above marriage giving planets

"During marriage period of life" and expect marriage in their dasa-bhukti. This may clinch the

issue.

During Transit, marriage may take place:

i. When Jupiter and the Moon passes over the 2nd from the Navamsa Lord of the Navamsa

where Lagna Lord is posited.

ii. When Jupiter and the Moon together pass through Kendra’s.

Marriage Saham and Marriage:

i. Add the Longitude of Lords Lagna and 7th house. When Jupiter transits the resultant Rasi

or its trines, it is favorable for marriage.

ii. Add similarly the Longitude of the Moon and Lord of the 7th house, when Jupiter transits

the resultant Rasi or its trines, marriage may take place.

Delay factors: According to Dr. B V Raman, Saturn's aspects on 7th house and 7th Lord both from

the Lagna and the Moon and Venus delay in marriage. The association or aspect of

the Lords of the 6th, 8th or 12th with the 7th house, 7th Lord and Karaka also ruled

out early marriage.

Reconciliation and Cohesion between all these factors would decode the time of marriage.

Timing of Child Birth: In timing child birth following factors must be considered.

i. Propensity to give birth to a child in birth chart including the numbers.

ii. Delay factors.

iii. Dasa and Bhuktis.

iv. Transit.

Dasa and Bhuktis for timing of child birth: One may expect birth of a child in child procreating age

during dasa and Bhuktis of following planets and lords of houses.

 i. Dasa and bhukti of 5th lord from Lagna, the Moon and Jupiter.

ii. Dasa and bhukti of 5th lord and Jupiter.

iii. Dasa and bhukti of "Shubhas" posited in or aspecting 5th.

iv. Dasa and bhukti of "Shubhas" conjunct with or aspecting 5th Lord.

v. Dasas and bhukti of9th lord.

vi. According to Jataka Parijat add Sphutas of 5th lord and 7th lord, and the lord of the

resultant Nakshatra, and planets connected with it are also capable of giving birth to a

child. Supposing sphuta of 5th lord is 3"7°0' and Sphuta of 7th lord is 6"7°0'. Its total comes

to 9'14°0'. Its Nakshatra lord is Shavarana owned by the Moon. Child birth may take place

in the dasa or bhukti of the Moon as well as dasa or bhukti conjuncts with or aspecting the

Moon.

Transits and Child birth: Following transit tend to give child birth.

i. Add Lagnesh Sphuta and sphuta of 5th Lord. When Jupiter transits the resultant

Rasi and Navamsa or trine therefrom.

ii. When Saturn and Jupiter aspect 5th house or 5th Lord in procreating age, child

birth may be expected.

iii. When Saturn and Jupiter aspect Kehstra and Beeja sphutas of both child birth may

be expected.

iv. According to Jataka Parijata add Sphuta of 5th Lord, Jupiter, planets pointed in 5th,

and planets aspecting 5th, find out Rasi and Navamsa of the resultant; and when

Jupiter passes over such Rasi or Navamsa, child birth may take place. (We do not

agree with Jataka Parijata that passage of Saturn over it would cause loss of child

in absence of other strong malefic factors.)

(c) Time of accident while commuting: Following factors are required to be seen that help to

elucidate the time of such accident.

i. Presence of such an accident in Natal Chart.

ii. Dasa, Antardasha period and transit.

For propensity to cause such accident Jataka Tatwa a number of combinations

are given. Some of them are as under:

 i. If the lord of the 4th is in the 6th in conjunction with Saturn, the native

shall be killed in a carriage accident.

ii. If Mars is in the 4th house and the Sun in the 10th, death shall be due to

a fall from a vehicle.

iii. If the lords of the 8th and the 1st houses are associated with the lord of

the 4th, the native shall die due to such conveyance as elephant or a

horse etc.

iv. If the luminaries are in the 6th or the 8th house, the native shall be killed

by an elephant or elephant like vehicle say truck.

v. If Moon and Mars are in a Kendra or the 8th house, fear of death be

through a Vehicle.

vi. If the waning Moon is in the 4th house, there is danger from a vehicle.

vii. If Lord of 6th is associated with Saturn or Rahu, then there is danger of

injury caused by horse, (or vehicle).

There are some other combinations which are prone to cause accidents. In the

majority of such cases apart from the influence of the 8th house, 22nd, Drekkana

and Mars, and Ketu. Planets placed in the Nakshatras of Ketu associated with

Venus or 3rd Lord or planets placed in Nakshatras of Venus associated with Ketu

and Mars make prone to suffer accidental injuries. Planets in Nakshatras of Rahu

also an additional malefic factors, causes the same results. Intensity increases

when Mars and Ketu both afflict 8th, 8th Lord or Lagnesh or Rashis or 22nd

Drekkana or Lord of 22nd Drekkana. It further increases when any of these or

many of these are placed in, Sarpa, Nigada or Ayuddha Drekkana.

These very combination if aspected by benefic or in benefic Rasi may not cause

death and may cause just some injuries due to vehicular accident. It may be

slightly mind boggling to explain the logic behind it. Behind all these combination,

Mars in the 6th house if treated in Cancer Rasi would indicate accident. Lagna

Lord which indicates vehicle, Debilitation indicates fall, Sun in 5th house in

Capricorn in Shatru Rasi indicates unusually agitated mind and Karma Bhava.

The mutual aspect .between Sun and Mars would indicate rashness in relation to

vehicle, Jatak Parijat adds in this combination presence of Moon in 2nd house,
 moon being the natural 4th Lord representing vehicle becomes maraka and it is

disposition of debilitated Mars, indicating self or person.

Dasa Bhuktis: Following Dasa-Bhuktis are to be watched:

i. Dasa-Bhuktis of 3rd, 5th, 7th Nakshatra Lord, especially when they are

occupied by Saturn, Rahu, Mars and Ketu, or Nakshatra Lord is

associated with Mars or Ketu or Rahu or Saturn.

ii. Dasa and Bhuktis of such papies and Karmas who are inimical to Lagnesh

or Rasis.

iii. Dasa and Bhuktis of 6th, 8th, 12th and 3rd Lords, especially when they are

connected with Ketu, Mars, Saturn and Rahu.

iv. Dasa and Bhuktis of 2nd, 7th, connected with Mars and Ketu, Rahu,

Saturn or 6th, 8th or 12th lords, or weak Lagna Lord.

v. Dasa and Bhuktis of the planet placed in the Nakshatras of Ketu, Mars or

2nd, 7th, or 6th, 8th and 12th.

vi. Rahu placed in Ketu Nakshatra or Ketu placed in Raghu’s Nakshatras are

prone to cause accident.

Transit: When Saturn, Rahu/Ketu, Jupiter and Mars, activate 6th, 8th or 12th house,

because it is a period of illness, and confinement on bed, and increases troubles.

Timing of Death of Parents: Factor which requires consideration to time mother death is.

i. Afflictions to 4th house, 4th Lord, the Moon (Venus in case of day birth)

and 4th house from the Moon.

ii. Dasa-Bhuktis of Marakas, or Significator of Mother. i.e., 4th house, 4th

lord, the Moon and 4th house from the Moon.

iii. Transit.

iv. Some Afflictions to mothers significations :

a) If weak 4th lord is placed in 6th or 12th and Lagnesha occupied by

a "Papi" and aspected by a "Papi".

b) If week "Chandra" is placed in6th, 8th or 12th and 4th is occupied

by a "Papi".
 c) If Saturn is in 4th, aspected by a malefic and 8th Lord is posited

either in its debilitation/inimical sign.

d) If 4th house or 4th Lord, or the Moon is in "Papa Kartari" and 4th

Lord or the Moon in debilitation sign.

e) In a night birth, if Saturn is in a Trine house connected from the

Moon, the mother shall be murdered (doubtful).

f) If Jupiter is in ascendant, Saturn in 2nd and Rahu in 3rd the mother

would not survive

g) If the Sun is posited in the 3rd or the 7th house and Mars occupy

the ascendant, the mother shall not survive

Afflictions to Parents:

a) If Lords of 4th and 9th both are placed in 6th, 8th, and 12th and

Lagna is strong both parents die.

b) If lord of 6th is placed in 8th, 12th or 3rd and Lagnesh is strong,

then it is harmful to both the parents.

c) If lord of 4th is in 5th or 9th and the lord of the trine where 4th

lord is placed, is posited in Lagna, then it is harmful for both the

parents.

d) If Lords of 1st, 4th and 9th are placed in Kendra Trikona then in

their Dasa-Bhuktis they causes harm first to mother then to

father.

e) If the Sun is in 9th and Moon is in 4th (without being aspected by

benefices or 9th and 4th lord), then it may lead to death of

mother first, followed by deaths of father.

f) If 4th or 9th lords are conjunct or aspected by the Sun, or

otherwise connected (like Nakshatra parivartan etc.) then

mother dies

Father’s Death: Following configurations may be the cause of father’s death.

a) If, in case of night birth, Saturn and Mars are posited in the 7th place from

Rasi.

b) Ravi Conjunct with Mars and aspected by Saturn.

 c) If the Sun, is hemmed in between malefic; or associated with a malefic and

aspected by a malefic from7th from the sun.

Dasa-Bhuktis:

i. 3rd and 10th Lords, from Lagna or the Sun and planets posited therein

cause death to father.

ii. Of 5th and 10th Lords from Lagna or the Moon in night birth and Venus

in day birth cause death to mother.

Transit:

i. Deduct Chandra Sphuta from the Surya Sphuta, when the Saturn

and Jupiter passed over that remainder Rasi and Navamsa or trine

these from, death of mother may take place.

ii. Deduct "Mandi Sputha" from "Chandra Sputha" when Saturn passed

over that remainder Rasi and Navamsa, death of mother is possible.

iii. Deduct ''Yama Kantaka Sputha" from the 8th Lord from the Moon

when Saturn passes over such Rasi and the Sun passes over such

Navamsa, then death of the mother is possible.

Father’s death is possible:

i. Deduct "Yama Kantaka" from the Sun. When Jupiter passes over

such Rasi or Navarnsa or in trine there from father may passes away.

ii. Deduct Mandi of Yama Kantaka. When Saturn passes over such Rasi

and Navamsa or in Trine therefrom, the father may pass away.

Gain of Job: The factors that help for the time of gain of job are as under.

i. Strongest 10th house (s) from the Lagna, the Moon and the Sun.

ii. Strongest 10th Lord (s) from the Lagna, the Moon and the Sun.

iii. Strongest Navamsa Lord (s) of the 10th Lord (s) from the Lagna, the Moon and the Sun.

iv. Dasa Bhuktis of planets connected with the above 10th house, 10th lords and Navarnsa

Lords of 10th Lords, 7th Lord (10th from 10th) and 9th Lord.

v. Transits connected with them activating these houses or Lords.

Generally speaking, for this purpose, positional strength of the Sun, Jupiter and Venus and

their strength acquired through different vargas, their relation with other planets are to

considered, treating them as if they are different Lagnas and conditions of 10th house and 10th

lords from these Lagnas. Another way to study this aspect taking 10th house as Lagna.

Consider one more, count 10th house from the Dasa Natha and see the planets connected

with 10th house and 10th lord there form they may give better clues in different Bhuktis about

job. If this 10th Lord is favorably placed, well aspected and friend or intimate friend you can say

prosperity, promotion, expansion, and gains beyond one's expectation during such a period. If

it is otherwise, you can imagine what will happen. This principle is just an extension of the

principles given by Satyacharya.
