Bhukthi subdivisions in Kethu

PERHAPS some readers have duly worked out with a calculator the nine Bhukthi subdivisions of the Maha Dasa of Kethu mentioned last week. The following is the order and duration of the Bhukthis. In years (Y), Months (M), and Days (D), in Kethu Maha Dasa, the first Maha Dasa for those born under Ashwini, Makha, and Moola stars: Kethu Bhukthi: O Y - 4 M - 27 D; Venus Bhukthi; 1 Y - 2 M - O D; the Sun's Bhukthi: OY - 4 M - 6 D; the Moon's: O Y - 7 M - O D; that of Mars: O Y - 4 M - 27 D; Rahu's: 1 Y - O M - 18 D; Jupiter's: O Y - 11 M - 6 D; Saturn's: 1 Y - 1 M - 9 D; and, finally the Bhukthi of Mercury: O Y - 11 M - 27 D. If you total up the columns, you will find that the aggregate does not come to exactly 7 years. That is because we have omitted the fractions of days - hours, and minutes - for each Bhukthi sub- division. If they are added, the total will come to seven years, the allotted span for Kethu Maha Dasa. (Such details of Maha Dasa's and their Bhukthi's can be easily ascertained from the supplemental pages of standard Panchanga's.)

In the example birth of February 1, 2000, we saw that a portion of Kethu Maha Dasa is taken as having been spent by the native in the mother's womb itself. We can work out that portion from the above table, and see what remains of the Maha Dasa and its remaining Bhukthi's, to be undergone by the native from the time of birth into this world.

Queries answered

Is Angaraka (Chevvai) Dosha mitigated in the following cases: Mars in Mesha, Vrischika, or Makara; if the Sun, Jupiter, or Saturn is with Mars anywhere; when the native's Rasi is Kataka or Simha?

C. V. Ramalingam, Palakkadu.

Angaraka Dosha will be mitigated if he is in one of his own Signs - Mesha and Vrischika, or in Makara, where he attains exaltation. The combination of Sun with Mars is not good, particularly in a girl's horoscope. But Angaraka's being with Jupiter, or with Saturn, can reduce the intensity of the Dosha. Jupiter's aspect on Angaraka will also give the same kind of reduction. For the Signs of Kataka and Simha, Angaraka is deemed to be a Yoga Karaka, and therefore he may not produce the worst effects of the Dosha. Remember that every horoscope must be carefully examined, and the positions, aspects, and Maha Dasa and Bhukthi aspects thoroughly scrutinised, before coming to firm conclusions.
