Lesson 4
DASA BHUKTI ANTARA:
Astrologers generally adopt dasa system for judging the nature of events for the native or to
time events. Every individual has to pass through different periods of good and bad days. The
astrologer while analyzing the horoscope basically dependents on dasa/bhukti/antara periods
arrived from the birth chart [ or horary] This helps in knowing mot only past events of the native.
but also pin pointing future events Say in order to ascertain the best period or exact period when
a native will get job or get parried etc, the relevant favorable dasa bhukti antara period are
marked by the astrologer for prediction after studying the chart in detail.
Total life span of a native was fixed at 120 years. There is no clear clue why total dasa period
adopted as 120 years. Astrologers in the pastmight have taken the optimum longevity of a
native in those periods as basis. Even know a percentage of population cross century..
Each Star lord is allotted fixed no of Solar years. Total solar years ie 120 years is distributed
among 9 stars as under.
KETU—7YEARS, VENUS—20 YEARS,SUN---7 YEARS, MOON---10 YEARS
MARS---7 YEARS,RAHU---18 YEARS, JUPITER---16 YEARS SATURN—19 YEARS, MERCURY—
17 YEARS
The period may also be called as total DASA period of each planet.
Dasa of a native starts right from his birth. It is calculated based on Moon position at the time of
birth The exact longitude of Moon and the constellation in which it is deposited is noted along
with the star lord or Constellation lord.
For example
In a native chart Moon is posted in Taurus sign @17.d 34min. we can say it is in moon star Rohini.
[ 0-10 deg belong to sun star krithika .in Taurus ] and it has already traveled 7d.34m
Each star longitude is 13d.20m or 800 minutes. Here moon has traversed 454 minutes and
balance moon dasa will be 346 minutes in the star Rohini If one has to calculate balance das at
birth it will be 346/800 x10 = 4.325 years or 4 years.3m.27d. [ minutes traversed in the star
dived by total minutes for the star multiplayer by dasa period of the star in question]
here readers may ref ready beckoner books available in the market one can also adopt simple
formula without reference to books dasa period for all planets

SUN 0.05.12 0.03 RAHU 1.04.06 0.08 MERCURY 1.03.09 0.08
If we use the above table for above example
For Moon dasa longitude 13.20 –7.34 = 5-46 deg balance @ birth
5 x 0.9.0 y = 3y09m.00d
46 x 0.05 = 0y.06m.27d

After initial dasa at bitrth, next dasa will follow in a fixed order of dasa periods. So in this case
after moon it will be mars dasa ,next rahu ,Jupiter, sat, mer, ketu ,venu, and last sun dasa to
complete the chain or cycle of dasa periods.
Bhukti:
Dasa of each planet is sub divided into Bhukti and further into antara, sookshma.
These sub divisions are available in the astrology books.
Nemji garu we may consider giving the table of dasa bukti antara from software
However it can be also be arrived at by simple formulas Bhukti
Running Dasa period x dasa period of the required bhukti
The result will be in months represented by first two digits and the third digit should be
multiplied by 3 [3 is constant] to get days.
For example let us take venus dasa and various bhukti Venus dasa is of 20 years So venus
bhukthi will be 20 x 20 = 400. {40 months or 2years and 6 months. Third digit here is zero so
nil days } 2years 6 months.
Next .
Sun bhukti 20x 6 = 120 that is 1year
Moon bhukti 20x10 = 200 or 1year, 8months
Mars bhukti 20x7 = 140 or 1year, 2months
Rahu bhukti 20x18 = 360 or 3years
Jupiter bhukti 20x16 = 320 or 2years, 8months
Saturn bhakti 20x19 = 380 or 3years, 2months
Mer bhukti 20x17 = 340 or 2years, 2months
Ketu bhukti 20x7 = 140 or 1year, 2months
Let us take mercury dasa which is 17 years Bhukthi will be

first 2 digits 28 months so 2y.4m and third digit is 9 so 9x3 =
Mer 17x17 = 289
27Days. Mer bhu in mer dasa will be 2y.4m.27 days
Ket 17x7 = 119 11months and 27 days [9x3]
Ven 17x20 = 340 ven bhukti 2y.10m. 0 days Ketu buhkti 0y.11m.27d.
Sun 17x6 = 102 sun bhukti 10m. 6d [2 x 3]
Moon 17x10 = 170 moon17 months. or 1y.5m.0d
Mars 17x7 = 119 mars bhulti 11 month 27d[9 x 3 ]
Rahu 17x18 = 306 rahu bhukti 30mnths or 2y.6m.18d [5 x 3 ]
Jup 17x16 = 272 hup bhukti 27 months or 2y.3m.6d [ 2x3]
Sat 17x19 = 323 sat nhukti 32m or 2y. 8m.9d [ 3x3 ]
Antara:
Now to calculate antara
Formula is running dasa period x bhukti x antar dasa /40[40 constant]
Result will be in days
Ex for ven dasa,venus bhkthi,venus antara , 20x20x20 =8000/40 =200 days 0y.6m.20d
Sat dasa.venus bhukti and mars anttara
19x20x16 =2660 did by 40 = 66.5 days or 0y.2m.6d.12hours
Sookshma:
Now to calculate
Dasa x bhukti x antara x sookshma periods divided by 200 [200 constant ]
result will be in hours.
Ven x vn ven ven
20x20x20x20 /200 =1,60,000/200 =800 hurs or 1m3d
