Transits and Vimsottari Dasa Progression: A Specific Correlation

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

One more research article titled " Transits and Vimsottari Dasa Progression: A

Specific Correlation " is available for a free download at

 

http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/articles

 

It defines a progression method based on Vimsottari dasa system, where

progressed positions of planets can be found on any given date. A significant

correlation between the *divisional longitudes* of these progressed positions

and transit positions at the time of major events is pointed out and illustrated

using 32 examples.

 

Some excerpts from the article, including the introductory part, are reproduced

below.

 

It is hoped that intelligent and sincere students and researchers of this divine

subject will take this knowledge further and contribute to a renaissance in

Jyotish and other knowledge related to rishis.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Introduction

 

Jyotish has several dasa systems. Vimsottari dasa is the most popular dasa

today. Maharshi Parasara said that Vimsottari dasa is the main dasa in Kali

yuga.

 

In all dasas, we take the sign or star occupied by a reference and progress

through the zodiac. In Vimsottari dasa, we start from the nakshatra occupied by

Moon or lagna at birth and progress through the zodiac. Progressed Moon or lagna

spends various amounts of time in various stars. For example, under Vimsottari

dasa system, progressed Moon or lagna traverses through Aswini star for 7 years,

through Bharani for 20 years, through Krittika for 6 years and so on.

 

As dasa is essentially a progression, it is possible to find the exact

progressed position of the reference at a given time. Interactions between

transit planets and progressed natal planets can show interesting correlations.

 

This is a potent area for exciting new findings and significant quantitative

correlations that can someday force skeptics to take notice. One specific

correlation that uses divisional longitudes is explained in this article.

 

Calculation of Progressed Position

 

Each mahadasa of Vimsottari dasa covers a 13 deg 20 min arc of the zodiac (i.e.

a nakshatra). Though different mahadasas may run for different lengths of time,

they all cover the same length of an arc in the zodiac. The same holds for

antardasas etc. Each antardasa covers 1/9th of a 13 deg 20 min arc, i.e. a 1 deg

28.8889 min arc. Each pratyantardasa covers 1/9th of that, i.e. a 9.8765 min

arc. And so on. The length of the arc corresponding to deha-antardasa is 0.8129

sec.

 

When a mahadasa or antardasa or pratyantardasa etc starts, the progressed

reference is at the start of the arc corresponding to that mahadasa or antardasa

or pratyantardasa etc. If we find the mahadasa, antardasa, pratyantardasa,

sookshma-antardasa, praana-antardasa and deha-antardasa at the time of an event,

we can determine the progressed longitude of the planet within an arc-second

(assuming that the birthtime is accurate).

 

An example will make the calculations clear.

 

<<<<Calculations & Principle>>>>

 

Example 1: Marriage

 

Birthdata: 1971 September 12, 8:25 am (IST), Guntur, India (80e28, 16n18)

Event: She got married on 1993 August 1.

 

See the calculations in Calculation Examples C2 and C3. The 7th lord in natal

rasi and navamsa is Mars. Based on Vimsottari dasa progression, progressed Mars

at the time of the event was at 13Aq51. His divisional longitude in D-9 was

4Aq42.

 

In natal D-9, Saturn is in the 7th house from lagna and Moon. He is in the 5th

house from Venus and aspects the 7th house. At the time of marriage, Saturn was

at 4Aq33. He had a close conjunction with the D-9 divisional longitude of

progressed Mars.

 

Example 2: Marriage

 

Birthdata: 1976 April 25, 2:32 am (IST), Vijayawada, India (80e37, 16n31)

Event: He got married on 2001 February 28.

 

Sun is the 7th lord in natal rasi chart. Based on Vimsottari dasa progression,

progressed Sun at the time of the event was at 5Ta31. His divisional longitude

in D-9 was 19Aq36.

 

Rahu is in the 7th house from exalted Venus in natal rasi chart. He is with

exalted Venus and aspects the 7th house from him in natal navamsa chart. He

aspects the 7th house from lagna in navamsa chart. At the time of the event,

Rahu was at 19Ge52. He had a close aspect on the D-9 longitude of progressed Sun

based on Vimsottari dasa progression.

 

<<<<Examples and some notes>>>>

 

Conclusion

 

A simple principle related to a correlation of the transit longitudes of planets

important to various matters in various divisional charts and divisional

longitudes of progressed planets using a progression based on Vimsottari dasa

was described and illustrated using many examples. If you like this knowledge,

please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it.

 

It is hoped that intelligent and sincere students and researchers of this divine

subject will take this knowledge further and contribute to a renaissance in

Jyotish and other knowledge related to rishis.

 

Acknowledgment

 

At a time when I was spending several hours on Jyotish research everyday, but

afflicted by pride, passion, attachment and expectations, my spiritual master Dr

Manish Pandit entered my life and slowed me down. Under his sage influence, my

attachment was cut off. I was filled with vairaagya (dispassion) towards Jyotish

as my mind was turned towards god. After a few years of withdrawal internally,

he asked me to research into some areas of Jyotish and share my findings with

the world. He told me that I had some important contributions to make to Jyotish

and that he had slowed me down earlier because I was doing things with a wrong

attitude and with an attachment. He wanted to first change my attitude and work

out the entanglements that bogged me down, before I could finish my task.

 

He asked me to pursue Truth and simply fulfill what I see as my dharma towards

Jyotish, without any entanglements, attachments, agendas, fears, frustrations or

expectations of any kind from anyone, and without thinking about what kind of

events may be triggered by my actions in future. I am grateful to Manish for his

guidance.

 

Another thing is that after I started offering aahutis (oblations) of ghee

(clarified butter) to Maharshi Parasara in fire at the end of my daily Chandi

homam, some good ideas started coming to me now and then at the end of

post-homam meditation sessions. These ideas that came from nowhere and without

conscious contemplation or thinking, turned out to be far superior to ideas that

came in the past from labored efforts by my logical mind. I consider these ideas

to be blessings of Maharshi Parasara. I bow to the Maharshi.
