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 results of the Dasha Lord's Rulership, covered in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 48 "Distinctive Effects of Vimsottari Dasha Lords," (R. Santhanam translation p. 466 or 473) You could also read Dasha Phal's chapter on "Period of the Lord of a House" Chapter 12, p. 59. As always use whichever source(s) you prefer!

Topics for discussion include
--Results of Dasha Lords, meaning what results happen when your Dasha Lord rules the 4th House or the 8th House, for a few examples.

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.
