2. There are different characters of each planet is mentioned through out the

lesson. Identify from your own chart, at least one character of each planet

from your Rasi and Navamsa and write how does it influences you during its dasa

or antardasa. Ans: Ravi. He is the Karaka for the atma, health,

Government....... For me he is shubhadhipathi but placed in the 6th house in

rasi and third house (Kumba) in Navamsa. He is debilitated in D-6 and placed in

the second from the Lagna. He receives Shani's Graha Dhrusti in Rasi. Rasi

ddhrustihe receives in both Rasi Navamsa are also of mmaleficexcepts that of

Guru. Obviously owing to these combinations no wonder I suffer from

nnegativequalities of Ravi in material world. His placement in 6th house might

have resulted in my poor relation with the people in authority and least

ffavoredfrom the Government and person with the power. How ever sspirituallyhe

would take me to a long mmileageowing to company of Budha (Ista) and rasi

dhrusti from Guru and also he being 9th lord. Thus he would be how ever acting

good for my Atma. I am not destined to pass through the Vimsottari dasa of the

Ravi. At present running with the Rasi dasa of Vrishabha where in he is placed

along with the Budha. During this time I joined SJVC/Varahamihira and have

found Kind Gurus and completely though very slowly turning spiritual. My health

is at very low. Chandra. She is Manah Karaka. She is my 8th house lord and

placed in the 9th house in Rasi and 11th house in Navamsa. Most importantly she

is my ATMA KARAKA. That has made me ccompassionate and caring person. She is

aspected by lonely planet Rahu in Rasi. That is torturing my mind enough.

Blessing in ddisguise Is it one of the reason I turning more spiritualistic in

Rahu Dasa? Her over all weak position might have resulted in my less enjoying

Mother care. In Chandra-Shukra, Vishmottari Dasa-Bhukti, I have experienced

break in education! Though she is AK, during her period the sufferings were not

much! Chandra is in the star of Yogada planet, Shukra. But how ever though it is

karaka for the publicity and even no hint of this quality sensed during the

dasa. This must be cause of the fact that apart from the various aspects

Chandra also suffers from the very low Shadbala strength. Un helpingly again I

bound to tell that not much virtues of Chandra has got mmouldin me so far

eexeternal personality is concerned. Dasa passed in the very young age and not

any major/important events to recall during the time. Kuja. He is the Karaka

for anger, non submissiveness, courage and valour. He is my lord of 5th house

and 12th house. He is positioned in the 10th house. He is Karaka for

engineering profession also. He has got good directional strength and he is

retrograde. He is my amatyakaraka. During his Dasa I entered the pprofession

Apart from the Guru he is the one planet who has mmouldmy personality with his

commanding influence. He being placed in the sign of Budha (Kanya) who in turn

positioned in the Mesha in Navamsa gave me career in the line of electrical. Of

course these factors not in isolation have results but might have contributed

oostensibly When I try to analyse my field of pprofessionconclude with strong

mMartianpprevalence Some time I wonder what would have been case had it been

sstillmore strong! since the case is not so, I have been limited to very mere.

His dasa ended giving a lot of pain and what not. This planet being in

retrogression also indicates some issue unresolved from the last birth and that

too in 10th house and threaten to connection for next birth as well! I have been

a victim of its Rasi dhrusti on Shukra in both Rasi and Navamsa. He is sitting

in the Kanya rasi, Hasta Nakshatra. and subjected to the aspect of Shani, this

too is an indication for the troubles in the belly. And I am started suffering

during his Dasa. Budha. He is my Ista. He is Karaka for Vak, iintelligence

eloquence, ....... . I would not be destined to experience his Dasa but his

Bhukti in Rahu dasa would start for me in Two years time. To my mind always

strikes is his occupation of 6th house. Alas! I am suffering from its intense

effect! Very poor digestion and fuel being added to this ailment by Ravi, as

already mentioned above. Atmakaraka Ravi's influence over this as that being

9th lord as well, I expect and hope that I can cover a considerable mmileagein

the field of Spirituality and Devine Shastra Vedic Jyotish with the kind

guidance of Pujya Gurus. He is my Bhadhakesha. Bhadhakesha placed in the 6th

house is likely to pose hindrance for the progress through the 6th house

matters and his natural Karakatwa. I feel I am one of the burning example for

this formula. Since he is Ista and also in the company of Bhagyesha, ultimate

result should be beneficial. As a consequence, I am suffering from bad health

and mental unrest. My mind is moderate sharp but too much delicate and

ssensitive This has driving me away from the enjoyment from the material world

and turning towards spiritual field. I am looking forward wwith intensehope for

the arrival of Budha Bhukti in this Rahu dasa. Guru. He is my Lagnadhipathi. He

is karaka for Jyana, santana, dhishakti, bhagya.... . He is placed in the 8th

house. In the field of occult can I expect any advancement in his dasa? It

might have cconferringme good ayus. At the same time reason behind mental

tturbulence His dasa is due for me from 45 years. His exaltation in the chart

can be a boon for me for my efforts in the right direction. In the rahu dasa

and Bhukti of Guru I suffered a lot. I was engulfed with failures, frustration,

ill health grief and despair. I was expecting improved results in this Bhukti

and contrarily subjected to struggle. Last one month otherwise. I always

wondered why I suffered and went through strife and ill health during his

bhukti! as per the rule of Trifoid, his position from Chandra is 12th. Lagna is

8th and AL is 6th. But spiritually also I could gain nothing of significance.

That was one of the worst period so far in my life. I request Guruji to shed

light on this. If some body say that, that period was for ignition and hence

now in this Shani Bhukti, I am started moving in the right direction, then also

I will not be convinced as that phenomena has transpired in Rahu-rahu itself. I

am an inborn pessimistic person. Bhukti of Guru did vvirtuallymade me to loose

my mettle and since then I am living life of ssubduedpersonality. In way, that

has hhardenedme. I would be fore seeing Guru Dasa as very concerned person lest

I would be well informed by the Gurus. Shukra. She is Karaka for luxury,

marriage, wife, pleasures.... . I may be victim of Karaka bhava nasa, as this

planet is located in my 7th house. This is subjected to malefic aspects of

Shani and Kuja. This has very close relation with 7th house lord Budha and

afflicts it further. That is to say, she is influenced by being in mutual

exchange with Badhakadhipathi! she also get empowered to operate

Bhadhakasthana. Does this mean I would be having impact of double Bhadhakas? My

experience says, YES! Please comment on this. In navamsa she is in the third

house with ravi, gave me job in a Governmental Organisarion. In my chart I

feel, the Shukra is not comfortable, being hemmed between enemy planets, Guru

and Ravi and aspected by Shani and Kuja in Rasi and in Navamsa placed with

enemy Ravi and aspected by Rahu and debilitated Kuja again. Hence I am not able

to realise so far any benefit from this planet. He looks to be a Yogada for my

chart since she aspects Lagna and HoraLagna/SriLagna and Lord of GL in Rasi.

But how ever its Dasa I passed through for 5 years starting from birth. Shani.

Even non astrology students also gets frightened by the name of this planet. He

stands for suffering and mean acts. On positive side He is Karaka for

concentration and perseverance. He delays things though may not deny. He is

Lord of my AL. I have par taken many of his indications in my life. He has

gifted me iintrovert ness pessimistic attitudes and gloomy nature. At present I

am running with his Bhukti in Rahu Dasa. He is in the house of Guru and

receiving his graha dhrusti. He is karaka for sorrow, and he has imparted it

enough for me. He is in Guru's rasi and Guru and in trine to him is placed in

shani's star. as per Nadi theory, they are conjoined. Hence in Guru/Shani dasa

I may turn to be a karma yogi. Spiritually he promise to bestow me a lot.

Material front he is proving to be as his nature is. He is in the occult house

of Vrischika in Navamsa in the 12th house. That must have made me an expender!

That again a thread of clue to my setbacks and sstrife Rahu. It is

sshadowplanet. "Shani vat rahu". He is in my 5th house. A reason behind my

physical ailment related to stomach. At present I am running with rahu dasa and

this last uup to2013. This has been the period where in I started directing self

towards study of Jyotish Shastra. Major happenings in my life are likely to take

place in this dasa itself. He gave me the marriage is it because the shukra

placed in the 7th house is in the star of Aridra, owned by Rahu? He gave me

issue, being in the 5th house? He is in the fruitful sign of Karka in Navamsa.

Does he waiting for arrival of makara Narayana dasa to offer me travel to over

seas? Ketu. This is very spiritual planet. It is in my 11th house. That is

indication that through this planet and by its karakatwa I gain in my life. It

is second to my UL. I am not able make out its ccontributionin my so far. I

would be in life to experience its dasa in the present birth. It is in Makara,

in the 2nd house in Navamsa. That should indicate it would be guide for my

right path. Thanking with Pranamas, Namra Shishya, Mohan Hegde.
