The 10 Good And Bad Doshas In The Kundli
Uncertainty is the only certainty in life. Life is a dynamic path that can change with the conscious choices we make every day. What if we had a guidance tool that helped us understand our life path better? Ancient times saw the use of astrological tools called Kundli, or birth charts, which pin the cosmic arrangement of planets at the precise time of the individual’s birth. This birth chart proved to be a useful Vedic astrology tool that helped assess the impact of such cosmic placements in the person’s life, particularly, the dosha that can either bring a favourable or poor outcome.
What are Dosha’s in a Kundli?
Planets have immense astrological power that can produce auspicious or ill results. A Dosha in Vedic Astrology signifies a combination of malefic planets that obstruct the activation of positive things stored in the individual’s birth chart or horoscope. This can cause significant problems and challenges in various aspects of a person’s life, including health, relationships, finances, and career.
A Mahadasha is a great period appearing in one’s life that is ruled by the 9 planets. Understanding the first planet can reveal which dasha it will bring. However, the following planet also reveals the Antardasha associated with it. To know the course of life, one can study the Mahadasha and Antardasha to predict the good and bad yet to come.
Spanning a total of 120 years (distributed among the 9 planets), different Mahadashas have different impacts on your life, wherein each planet provides energies. The Mahadasha duration for each planet is as below:
• Sun – 6 years,
• Moon – 10 years,
• Mars – 7 years,
• Rahu – 18 years,
• Jupiter – 16 years,
• Saturn – 19 years,
• Mercury 17 years,
• Ketu – 7 years
• Venus – 2- years.
The most popular and reliable system that helps in the interpretation of doshas and predictions is Vimshottari Dasha. It plays a prominent role in Vedic astrology for its accuracy in predicting certain events during a period.
Yogini Dashas
According to the ancient Maharishi and author, the great Parasara, there are 8 Yogini Dasha’s known as Mangala, Pingala, Dhanya, Bhramari, Bhadrika, Ulka, Sidha, and Sankata. The timelines for each are as follows:
• Mangla stays for one year
• Pingala for two years
• Dhanya for three years
• Bhramari for four years
• Bhadrika for five years, Ulka for six years
• Siddha for seven years
• Sankata for eight years.
Read on to know the good Yogini Dasha’s.
1. Dhanya Dasha
Plante Jupiter rules the third onec in the Yogini Dashas. Dhanya Dasha is one of the most auspicious dashas, with the person achieving progress in spirituality, knowledge, and wealth. A person in this dasha gains academic qualifications, leadership, power, and great prestige.
2. Mangla Dasha
The Lord of this Dasha is the Moon. During this period, the person may feel calm and in their most pure essence. While such people tend more towards spiritual and religious activities, they are also capable of acquiring material possessions like jewellery. Mangla Dasha also bestows the person with happiness in marital and family life.
3. Bhadrika Dasha
The Mercury-led Dasha, Bhadrika Dasha, spans over 5 years, giving auspicious results to the person. He or she may enjoy the immense affection and fondness of their family members. With a high intelligence level and communication capability, they attain positive recognition and respect among peers.
4. Siddha Dasha
The Siddha Dasha is considered an auspicious period in a person’s life wherein they can attain all material gains. Being led by Venus, this dasha encourages love, lust, music, art, beauty, and such in this person’s life. Those in this dasha need not worry about kundali matching in alliances, as Siddha Dasha is considered favourable for marriage.
The next few dasha’s fall into a grey area:
5. Sankata Dasha
Sankata Dasha is considered Rahu’s Dasha and spans over 8 years. This dasha gives rise to fame, wealth, and recognition for the person. However, on a personal front, the individual may feel disconnected from their family. They are usually seen as stubborn and may endure hardships in life. Vedic astrology affirms Rahu to be an inauspicious planet, and therefore, people in Sankata Dasha face obstacles in life too.
6. Bhramari Dasha
Associated with the planet Mars, Bhramari Dasha pushes the individual to work hard. This may lead to the person shuttling between jobs with their mind in a dilemma. Scholars reprimand this dasha as it is known to create family problems too, with the individual wanting to make hasty decisions.
Last, but not least, the bad dasha’s are as follows:
1. Rahu Mahadasha
Lasting for 18 years, this notorious period leaves the person in a state where they may even succumb to addiction. Unable to segregate right from wrong, people in this Mahadasha are highly influenced by the wrong people. This can lead to poor company, a sudden loss of money, and generally an energy drain on the individual.
2. Manglik Dosha
The planet Mars is considered malefic when positioned in the wrong house. This leads to mental tension and discord in marital relationships. In Vedic astrology, Mars represents self-esteem, ego, and respect in a person. Those with a balance of this energy can empower themselves.
3. Shani Dosha
Saturn is considered the judge among all planets, thus, policing those who are involved in unlawful or illegal acts. When beneficial, a Shani Dasha can do wonders in a person’s life, creating phenomenal success. However, when it is in a malefic position, it can bring ill health, loss of property, litigation, loss of income, and many other unfortunate instances into the person’s life.
Your kundli is based on the cosmic arrangement of planets at the time of your birth, location, and situation. It is important to consult with a professional astrologer who can analyse the dosha’s and offer remedies that suit your highest and best outcome.
