  • 2. If the ninth house is Aries, taurus,gemini,Libra, Scorpio and sagittarius, the dasha order will be forward that means if dasha starts from Aries,the next will be taurus, gemini and so on.

  • 3. If the ninth house from Lagna is cancer,Leo,Virgo,Capricorn,Aquarius and Pisces,then dasha order will be indirect for example dasha starts from cancer then first dasha will be of cancer and next Leo,Virgo and so on. In deciding the Sub periods,there is a departure here, in the major period of Aries the first sub period will be of Taurus and Aries as is the usual case in dasha system.

  • 4. In deciding the time of dasha ,the rashi concerned upto its lord, directly if in direct group and indirectly if in indirect group.

  • 5. From the total so obtained deduct 1 year and the net period will be the dasha period of Rashi concerned.

It can be used to study all aspects of life. Jaimini Karakas are used to determine Stir Dasha like the way these are used to determine the Char Dasha.

    To understand the order of Sthir Dasha, the determination of Brahma, Rudra and Maheshwar should be done first.It is a dasha which has certain conditions. To calculate this dasha graha bala and Rashi bala is to be calculated for a horoscope and with the help of both these mathematical calculations determine these three Dashas of Brahma,Rudra and Maheshwara. This dasha is used to predict the misfortunes, mishaps and death etc.

    Sthir dasha starts from where Brahma is placed.The sign where it is placed will have a period of 7 years, next sign will have a period of 8years and third sign will have a period of 9 years.This sequence will go on repeating. For antardasha each planet will have a period of seven months.For example the Brahma is placed in Libra.so Libra period will be of 7years,Scorpio will have a period of 8years and sagittarius will have a period of 9 years.The same sequence will repeat from capricorn 7 years,Aquarius 8years and pisces 9 years and so on.

    Another dasha in jaimini is mandook dasha which is applicable only on those horoscopes in which there are four or more planets excluding rahu and ketu in quadrants or trines from the Lagna.These four planets may be in one, two,three or four quadrants.

    Starting point will be from ascendant if it is an odd sign and it will start from 7th sign if the ascendant is an even sign.Dasha sequence is direct in case of Odd sign and indirect in case of even signs.The period of dasha is calculated for a rashi,how many hoses away is the lord is placed will be the no. of years of dasha..For example Aries dasha If Mars is placed in Scorpio,then dasha period will be for 8 years.
