BALANCE OF DASA (VIMSHOTTARI) AT BIRTH/QUERY The following is the balance of the dasa period yet to be undergone in Vimshottari Maha Dasa (or Udu or Nakshatra Dasa) of 120 year period, if Moon at birth (or query) is in the below sign:
Mesha/Aries Simha/Leo Dhanus/Sag.
The following method is adopted for calculating the balance of Mahadasha at birth. In the example horoscope the longitude of the Moon is Kataka 13°–12'. Kataka is composed of one quarter or 3°– 20' of Punarvasu, four quarters (13°–20') of Pushyami and four quarters of Aslesha. As the longitude of Chandra is 13°–12' in Kataka, it has passed the 4th quarter of Punarvasu in this sign and is in Pushyami Nakshatra. To find out how much it has moved in Pushyami we will deduct 3°–20' of Punarvasu from Chandra's 13°–12'. Thus the balance comes to 9°–52'. The extent of the whole of Pushyami nakshatra is 13° 20'. The lord of this nakshatra is Sani whose total major period is 19 years, 9°–552' will be equal to 14 years–0 months and 22 days. This indicates that 14 years and 22 days of Sani's Mahadasha is already over at birth and the balance that would remain at credit at birth will be 19 years minus 14 years 22 days, that is, 4 years 11 months and 8 days. All this detailed calculation will be avoided, if you obtain the balance of Dasha at birth from the tables given on pages 68 and 69 of the "Indian Ephemeris" for 1973. The heading of the first table is "Balance of Vimshottari Dasha by Longitude of Moon." In column one the longitude of the Moon is given and in the other four columns the sign or rasi of the Moon. We find that we in our present case are concerned with the last column under which balance of Dasha is given, if Chandra is in Kataka, Vrischika or Meena. The longitude of Chandra is 13°–12' in the example birth chart. In column five the balance of dasha is given for every 20' of longitude. For 13°–00' of Kataka the balance of Sani Dasha (Mahadasha) is 5 years 2 months and 21 days. For 12' we will have to find out from the table of "Proportional Parts for Dasha of Planets" one page 69. Here for 10' the balance of Sani Dasha is 2 months 26 days and for 2' it is 17 days. So for 12' it would be 3 months and 13 days. If we deduct that from the balance of Dasha for 13° viz. 5 years, 2 months and 21 days, we get 4 years 11 months and 8 days. This will be the balance of Sani Mahadasha at birth.
