Let's Learn Dashas! A Vedic Astrology Study Group

Let’s get together for a discussion about the Dasha system of Vedic Astrology. This is a continuing series of meetings covering interpretation of Vimsottari Dashas, and we are using a free text (see below) available online to help us organize topics and structure our discussions. This is a study group and everyone can prepare for each meeting using their own additional sources & please share with the group any sources about the Dasha System you’ve found helpful.

In this meeting, we will be focusing on the topics covered in
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 47 "Effects of Dasha," which covers results of Dasha lord's planetary significations. (R. Santhanam translation) Chapter 47 begins on page 454 or 461 depending on how you navigate the text.

Topics for discussion include
-General effects of planets
-Effects of planet's placements
-All 9 Dasha Lords
If you are new to the Dasha concept, you might want to familiarize yourself with “what is a dasha?” before studying the topics in Chapter 47.
