I am in a transferable service and I have been for the last eight years shifting from place to place with my family. For sometime, I took no interest in putting up a house for my family because I am entitled to government quarters and besides, I thought I could go into occupation in my ancestral house after retirement. However, a few years ago my younger brother took up residence in my ancestral house and it looks now that I may not get the house when I need it. As I realised that I have to have a house of my own in the interest of my children I have been trying to buy a suitable housing property for the last several years without success. I have saved a little money for the purpose. But some problem or other would come up to defeat my aim. Please peruse the copy of my horoscope sent herewith and let me know as to when I would succeed in moving into a house of our own. Answer: Rahu in the 4th House has kept you away from home and on the move. Now you are running the Sun’s Antar Dasa in the Maha Dasa of Venus. You will move into a house of your own during the Antar Dasa of the Moon which is to begin on 14.7.2011. From Isuru in Galle: Answer: It looks that you have been running away from problems without facing them like a man. You cannot correct one mistake by committing another. Your horoscope does not indicate the kind of punishment you fear. I hope it is not too late to reach an amicable settlement.

For example, the period assigned to Jupiter is 16 years, Saturn 19 years and Mercury 17 years. No Dasa period, be it of a good planet or of a bad planet would produce either entirely good results or entirely bad results. The same principle is applicable to Antar or sub periods of the nine planets. There would be good results produced in the Antar Dasa of a malefic period as well. Because even an Antar Dasa is further divided into still smaller sub-divisions called Vidasas which Hindu astrologers call Antarams and these Vidasas or Antarams are again assigned to each planet. Therefore, good results would manifest during the Vidasa periods assigned to benefic planets even during the Antar Dasa pe- Sun’s Dasa - 6 Years Antar Dasa: Y.

In a previous article, the formula by which an Antar Dasa of a particular planet is ascertained was explained. We hope the readers are already familiar with that method. Now let us study how a Vidasa period of a particular planet in the Antar Dasa of the same planet or another planet in the major Dasa of still another is determined. Example: Find the Vidasa period of Mars in the Antar Dasa period of Moon in the Sun’s major Dasa period: The Sun’s period : 6 years The Moon’s sub period is 6months For 120 years - Mars is assigned 6 years For 6 months = 7 x 6 divided by 120 = 10 days 12 hours Therefore, it is evident that Vidasa system helps the timing of predictions more accurately as it shrinks the time range to days and hours. Just as Antar Dasas are divided into Vidasas, Vidasas too are further divided into Sukshma Dasas. Just as changes occur in accordance with the effects produced by Antar Dasas within a major Dasa, so do changes occur in accordance with the effects produced by Vidasas within an Antar Dasa period. Further enhanced accuracy in predictions can be achieved with the application of the Sukshma Dasa system. TABLE OF ANTAR DASAS (Sub-periods) Moon’s Dasa - 10 Years D.
