Ruler
«
Once you locate the starter it is easy to find the ruler. The starter is obtained by equating the planet with its stellar Lord. What he would be if he were himself is what fixes the ruler. See how many squares down is the row of the planet from that of its stellar Lord and progress so much from that starter in the order of Udu Dasha. That planet becomes the ruler. Fix him up in that square. Similarly work out for all. Note that in the case of Lagna, the starter and the ruler is one and the same planet. On the other hand if you move upwards you will have to digress the order. For example, to find the ruler of Rahu in Guru Dasha of the above chart: Rahu equated with his stellar Lord Guru becomes Chandr (starter), but equated with himself what he would be? In the Dasha chart the square of Rahu col. and Rahu row is situated one place down the starter (Chandr). So progress the starter Chandr by one more Dasha. You get Kuja. Put him in that square. Thus the ruler is Kuja. In Guru Dasha, Chandr is the starter (Rohini) and Kuja is the ruler (Mrigasira being next to Rohini). Thus you are able to locate not only the Grahas but their actual stars which will be very useful for Gochara.

Dasha Yogi
Like the birth Yogi acting throughout lifetime there is Dasha Yogi playing an equal part in that Dasha. To evolve it, add to the longitude of birth Yogi twice the longitude of the Dasha Lord. You get the point of Dasha Yogi located. Why twice the Dasha Lord? Once for Surya and again for Chandr round which all factors revolve. This holds good in the case of all Grahas except Chandr, Rahu and Ketu whose Dasha Yogis have to be struck by special rules. Dasha Yogi of Chandr: It is the same as birth Yogi.
To find the Dasha Yogi of Rahu and Ketu
Between the stellar Lords of Rahu and Ketu see who is the enemy of the other (usually they will be in inimical stars). First work out the Dasha Lord as in the case of other Grahas with respect to the latter, i.e. the stellar Lord of this first planet not being inimical to that of the second. After ascertaining the Dasha Yogi of the first of the two the Dasha Yogi of the other automatically becomes the planet who is the enemy of the above Dasha Lord. Example - to find the Dasha Yogi of Guru Dasha (refer the above chart [on page 27]): Birth Yogi point is
10-17-49
Twice Guru longitude
05-18-14
(Guru is 02-24-07) Total
16-06-03
Subtracting 12 Rasis
12-00-00
We get
04-06-03
So Guru Dasha Yogi is situated at 6° 3' in Simha, i.e. Makha Nakshatra ruled by Ketu. Thus Guru Dasha Yogi is Ketu.
To work out Dasha Yogi of Rahu and Ketu
Rahu is in Punarvasu (Guru Nakshatra) and Ketu in U. Shada (Surya Nakshatra). Surya is Guru's enemy. So we must first work out for Guru controlled Rahu. Rahu's natal position is 03-02-17 Double that is
06-04-34
Add birth Yoga point
10-17-49
We get
16-22-23
Subtracting 12 Rasis
04-22-23 (Pubba)
So its Lord Shukr becomes Rahu Dasha Yogi. Automatically Shukr's enemy, Guru becomes the Dasha Yogi of Ketu. On the other hand if Ketu was in U. Shada (Surya) and Rahu in Pushyami (Shani) then you should first work for Ketu and then conclude for Rahu.

Evolution of one Dasha chart from another
Under this system to predict the effects of Bhukti Lords in a Dasha you have to erect a separate chart for each Dasha which may look cumbersome and taxing. But it is not so. In a second you can work out any Dasha chart from one worked out chart as there is symmetry in the theory. For every advanced Dasha the starter and ruler recede by one stage (reckoning being in the order of Udu Dasha). Similarly for a previous Dasha they advance by one stage. In this way by increasing or decreasing as the case may be by as many stages as the difference of a Dasha is from one worked out, you may work out at mere sight the Dasha chart you need. This holds good in all page ~ 62 ~
