Dasha - Period of a Dominant Planet

Humans like being prepared for anything and everything that is happening or going to happen in their life. This is why we humans want to know about the upcoming events in our lives. A child is a very special gift for any parent, and parents often go to extreme lengths to get the best for their children and protect them from any evil eye, preventing them from encountering any unfortunate events. Thus, as soon as a baby is born, parents get their child's kundali made to see what the future holds for their child. The primary reason for this is that parents want to glimpse their child's future, and another reason is that if there is a possibility of any unfortunate event, they can prevent it by following some remedies.

A kundali has many parts which combine to tell us about the future of an individual. It also helps us to know the personality traits and behavioural characteristics that an individual has. One such part happens to be Dasha. Dasha typically means a period of time where one planet has power in an individual's life. The time periods of different Dashas vary from planet to planet. For instance, 'Shani ki Sadesaati' refers to the Dasha of Shani or planet Saturn, which lasts for seven and a half years. Depending on the planet and its influence, an individual can either experience the best of life or fall into the depths of despair. However, remedies are available to help prevent negative and unfortunate outcomes.

Dasha Astrology - Its Significance and Importance

Dasha, meaning "period," refers to a time frame in astrology ruled by a specific planet. In an individual's life, there is always a Dasha in effect; when one ends, another begins. The balance of a Dasha relates to an individual’s previous life, representing the Dasha in which they died.

The term 'Dasha' originates from Sanskrit and signifies a planetary period in astrology. To know which Dasha is currently active in your life, consult a pandit or visit AstroPush's website or app for free information.

The effects of a planet during its Dasha depend on several factors:

  • Stithi (Position)
    House (Bhava)
    Conjunction (Yuti)
    View or Drishti (Aspect)

These aspects influence the positive or negative effects of a planet during its Dasha, based on its location in an individual’s birth chart. The position of a planet in its own house generally brings positive outcomes, while its placement in an enemy's house can cause ill effects.

There are many types of Dashas in astrology. Parashara mentions 42 kinds of Dashas. For instance, 'Poorna Dasha' occurs when a planet is at full power, while 'Rikta Dasha' occurs when a planet has no power. Nine planets rule these Dashas, each affecting individuals differently.
