from the forward to Predicting Through Shodashottari Dasha
by V.P. Goel
In the year 1984 I showed in some articles the use of different
conditional dashas of Parashara, which are nakshatra dashas,
and demonstrated their great significance and use. Maharishi
Parashara has given some of them in his magnum opus, Brihat
Parashara Hora Shastra. There are said to be as many as
fifty four such dashas out of which only twelve are available
to us. Out of these the primary, according to the importance
given by Parashara are Vimshottari, Kala Chakra, Jaimini's Chara
dasha and Shodashottari dasha.
Used with Vimshottari dasha, which is a general dasha and Chara
dasha, also a general dasha, a conditional dasha throws light
into an area of a horoscope which an astrologer's attention
may not be drawn easily. Let this be illustrated through a horoscope,
which is that of Bill Clinton, the former president of the USA.
In the year 1998 when Clinton was a facing a crisis in his career
with the Monica Lewinsky scandal threatening to ruin him totally,
he was passing through the Vimshottari dasha of Jupiter-Venus
which does explain this terrible event but still some clarity
will be needed to pin point it. But in the Shodashottari dasha
it was the mahadasha of Mars, the 8th lord of scandals, and
the antardasha of the Moon in the 8th house of scandals.
Bill Clinton's Natal Chart
I have written in a book of mine that once when an old
astrologer had come, some of us had met with him to discuss
astrology with him. He said that he had almost given up astrology
and was devoting more time to his spiritual practices. We were
discussing the horoscope of Raja Dinesh Singh to which Shodashottari
dasha was applicable.
Out of irritation, the classically trained astrologer asked
us why we had not used Shodashottari dasha in this case. I put
before him my calculated sheet showing how this dasha worked
in this case. He was very happy that I had done that and used
some strong words against some modern astrologers who neither
knew astrology properly, nor knew the importance of the conditional
dashas of Parashara.
The Conditions Required for Shodashottari
Dasha
From the chapter titled, Application, in Predicting
Through Shodashottari Dasha, by V.P. Goel
Shodashottari is a special udu dasha based on the Nakshatra
occupied by the Moon at the time of birth. This dasha is only
applicable to the horoscopes fulfilling certain conditions.
The conditions are:
Odd Rising Sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius,
Aquarius):
1. The ascendant degrees are between
0 to 15 and the Moon is waxing (Shukla Paksha).
2. The ascendant degrees are between 15 to 30 and the Moon is
waning (Krishna Paksha).
Even Rising Sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn,
Pisces):
1. The ascendant degrees are between 0 to 15 and the Moon is
waning (Krishna Paksha).
2. The ascendant degrees are between 15 to 30 and the Moon is
waxing (Shukla Paksha).
