2-George:........Sade Sathi?

[Guest guest]

This is an amazing Explanation I

have come across. Could you please explain the meaning of

Dashas? What is the meaning of Mahadasha, Antar dasha and so on? What does Dasha implies in terms of planets transits/location in

one's star or sign or house? Dear George: " Dasas " simply

mean 'time periods'. The karmas of our previous actions,of our

different planets come back to us at particular times.The

Dasas and Transits both, express those consequences of our karmas.The 3 major Dasas, Maha, Antardasa and Bhukti express the 3

planets' whose karmaswill be coming back to us at particular

times.You can 'feel't the Dasas' karmas and their shifts from

one period to another. On the otherhand the Transits represent

the karmas that are coming back to us through our environments, as if

through our senses or bodies.The Dasas are 'felt' on the

natural level of feeling.So, at some time we all of a sudden

feel a shift on the level of our feelings.We don't know why

but all of a sudden we feel to be doing something different.This is because of our Dasa shifts.We should watch our Dasas

and Transits so we can know which positive or negative karmas we will be

going through in the future.Once we know this, then we can do

unique and specific remedies for any of our malefics;as their karmas

will be felt during those dasas and transits of those malefics.So, if we have Saturn or Mars in the 8th, and we've noticed in the past;

that past Dasa periods of Saturn or Mars brought sickness; then this time

we can be better prepared to deal with these karmas.We may not

have control over the karmas, like the weather, but we can be better

preparedto go through that nasty patch of weather.We

take an umbrella, we don't try and plan an important event during some

especially negative or inauspicious transit.Instead we

rest and heal during these periods.That's what they're really

about anyway.Benefic periods are for all progress and easy,

natural fulfillment of desire, planning andsetting in motion.Malefic periods are for healing, for learning to deal differently

with our planets which reallyjust represent all the different ways

in which we think, act or behave.So, if Mars is malefic in our

charts, and we experience negative things during Mars dasa ortransit

periods, then next time we can be better prepared.We put

attention on healing or balancing more our Mars during the future periods,

and wewill have taken better advantage with this so-called malefic

period.Malefic periods or planets are not about curses or bad

karmas only; they're more aboutseeing exactly how we've been

thinking incorrectly in the past so that we can learn to adjustor

grow in that part of life or our nature.So, if we get

especially heated or irritable during Mars malefic periods, then we now

knowthat we're supposed to be about improving the nature of our

Mars!Sade Sat is a period of Saturn and the Moon. The

Moon shows us how in-tune we are withour Saturn's!If

Saturn is benefic in our charts, then even Sade Sat periods can be

glorious!But, if Saturn is malefic, and unfortunately for most

people Sani is a malefic planet, then we're meant to grow in Saturn

wisdom during this time.Generally, SAturn's transits are there

to teach us where we need to grow in nature's silence.So,

every sign and house that Saturn moves through is the occasion to bring

more naturalSaturn silence to that area of the life.For

me, watching Saturn go through my 10th house of Cancer and now 11th house

of Leothese last 5 years I became keenly aware that Saturn could

either be a boulder, obstacle,or a Silence portal.Then,

I realized that Sani's transits through these different houses represented

nature's guidance showing me where I'm supposed to develop more deep

silence.Hope this helpsMark Kincaid.. I would

appreciate if you could please clarify this with your knowledge. Many Thanks !! Best Regards, George
