Vedic Astrology Uses A System of Planetary Periods Called Dasha (Major Period)

The planets are the cosmic creative powers.
Each planet radiates certain

specialized forces. The planets make their impact on the zodiacal field. This
specialized circle divided by the signs and Nakshatras is the negative or passive
field of influences, while the planets are the positive or active fields. The signs and
Nakshatras create the necessary environment, while the planets are the
precipitating forces.
Prakriti (the female creative impulse) is the force that sustains the general
background of the zodiac. Prakriti produces the basic conditions on which the
seeds sprinkled by Purusha (the male consciousness factor) fructify and grow. The
Nakshatras and signs of the zodiac are the passive creative potency whereas the
planets are the creative or generating forces. The planet s are active causes
whereas the signs a nd Nakshatras are the material layer of the action. The
Nakshatras and signs constitute the horizontal arm, while the planets represent
the vertical arm in the cross of cosmic creation.
In Vedic astrology, the personality traits are read more through the birth star
(Nakshatra of the Moon) than by the Sun sign. Nakshatra positions of planets are
examined in the birth chart as well. The use of Nakshatra is very important in
Vedic astrology, much more tha n with zodiac signs.
Indian seers say that the Nakshatras represent the abodes into which the fruits of
our labor (our Karma) is transferred and stored. The Nakshatras dispense the
fruits of Karma, the highest of which is the fruit of our worship and meditation,
our spiritual labor of life.
Vedic astrology uses a system of planetary periods called Dasha (Major Period)
of various planets based on the Moon Nakshatra at the time of birth. Most
important is Vimshottari Dasha, a 120‐year‐long cycle of planetary positions
based upon the birth Nakshatra, stars. The planetary periods of Vedic astrology
provide an easy and comprehensive system for judging the effects of planets
throughout out our lives. The planetary periods are the most accurate system of
how the planets distribute their effects through time and different stages of our
lives. The major seven planets plus two lunar nodes are assigned periods ranging
from 6 to 20 years.
With the help of this Dasha (Major Period system) a Vedic astrologer can predict
future events very accurately. However, Western and other astrological systems
do not have predictive capabilities as Vedic astrology.

Functionary Properties of the 27 Nakshatras:

CONSTELLATIONAL TRANSITS
Whatever activity we begin at a particular moment retains the qualities of
relationship with the surroundings of that place and moment of time. Each moment
possesses its own special potency; hence, the importance of starting our enterprises
at an auspicious and favorable moment to ensure a more fruitful and successful
outcome to our undertakings. Actually, the beginning of any important enterprise
has its own birth chart, and in this chart one can see the life of that enterprise.
When electing favorable moments for beginning our activities, it is important to
place the Moon in a favorable constellation, sympathetic towards the activity we
wish to enact. To know which constellations are especially favorable to you, it is
necessary to first know your Janma Tara or Birth Constellation. This is easily derived
from your birth chart made according to the Sidereal Zodiac. All calculations in Vedic
astrology are made according to this zodiac.
MOON'S CONSTELLATIONAL TRANSITS
Rohini, Uttaraphalguni, Uttarasadha, and Uttarabhadrapada are FIXED constellations
and are favourable for digging wells, laying foundations or cities, expiatory rituals,
planting trees, coronations, buying lands, meritorious deeds, sowing of seeds,
installation of Deities, the building of a temple, or any other activit y desirous of a
lasting or permanent effect.
Mrgasira, Citra, Anuradha, and Revati are SOFT or GENTLE constella tions good for

fine arts, learning, making friendships, sensual pleasures, decorations, sexual union,
wearing new apparel, marriage, singing and dancing, processions, auspicious
ceremonies, festivities, dealings of agriculture, and journeys.
