Chara Dasha Order & Calculations
By
Tushar kumar Bhowmik
Chara Dasha is the dasha of Rashi’s and not planets, as in Vimshottari Dasha of
Parashari System.
Order of Dasha: Here the order of dasha is either direct (anti-clockwise/Zodiac

wise) or indirect (clockwise/anti-zodiac wise).
Direct Order: Aries, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces
Indirect Order: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

Eg: For Aries Lagna the dasha order will be Direct.
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn,
Aquarius, Pisces.
For Taurus Lagna the dasha order will be In-Direct:

Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo,
Leo,Cancer, Gemini.

The same rule applies to sub-periods but the main Dasha Rashi’s sub-period comes
last in order.
Eg: For Aries Lagna (Direct), the order of sub-periods for Aries Dasha:
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn,
Aquarius, Pisces and then Aries in the last.
For Taurus Lagna (In-direct), the order of sub-periods for Taurus Dasha:
Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer,
Gemini and in the last Taurus.
Calculation of Duration of Dasha
Count the number of houses from the Dasha Rashi to the rashi lord. Deduct 1 from
the total. You get the concerned Rashi Dasha duration.
Direct Order Rashi’s (Savya): Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio and
Sagittarius.
Note: The Direct Order here is different to the one discussed before. Here the direct order means
to count from the starting dasha sign till the sign lord in direct order i.e. anti-clockwise or
Zodiac wise.
Indirect Order Rashi’s (Apasavya) : Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius,

Pisces.
Note: The Indirect Order here is different to the one discussed before. Here the indirect order
means to count from the starting dasha sign till the sign lord in indirect order i.e. clockwise or
Anti-Zodiac wise.

Eg: Let’s assume:

For Aries Dasha (Direct), the Aries lord Mars is placed in 5th house from Aries. We
get 5, deduct 1 from it and you get the total duration of Aries Dasha i.e. 4 years.
Mars
For Cancer Dasha (In-direct), the Lord of Cancer-Moon is placed in 10th house
from Cancer. We get 10, deduct 1 from it and you get the total duration of Cancer
Dasha i.e. 9 years.

Moon
Note:
1. If the Lord of a rashi is placed in the same rashi, we give the dasha 12 years
without any deductions.
2. For Scorpio Dasha, special rules should be observed as it has the dual lordship
of Mars & Ketu.
a. If anyone, Mars or Ketu, is placed in Scorpio itself, then we should use the other
to calculate the number of years for the dasha and ignore the one placed in Scorpio.
Standard rules of deductions still apply.
b. If both are placed in Scorpio, give full 12 years without any deductions.
c. If both of them are placed in rashi other than Scorpio. Use the stronger of the
two to calculate the duration of Dasha period.

3. For Aquarius Dasha same set of rules, as for Scorpio, applies because of the dual
ownership of Saturn and Rahu.
Calculation of Duration of Sub-Periods
1. Each sub-period, in months, is equal to the number of years of Dasha.

2. Similarly, each sub-sub-period, in days, is directly proportional to the number of
months for Sub-Period.
Let’s understand the same with the following table.
Major Period Sub-Periods Sub-Sub Periods

(Years) (In Months) (In Days - Hours)
12 12 30 days
11 11 27 days 12 hours
10 10 25 days
8 8 20 days
6 6 15 days
4 4 10 days
3 3 7 days 12 hours
2 2 5 days
1 1 2 days 12 hours
Note: Table taken from Shri K.N Rao’s Book on Chara Dasha.
Let’s take an example chart to illustrate all the concepts we have learned above:

Dasha Calculations
As the Lagna is Gemini, we will have to follow Indirect Order of Dasha.

D- Direct, I- Indirect
In a similar way, we can calculate the sub-periods and their duration, which brings
us to the end of Part-1. The next part will show us how to use Jaimini Arudha
System, Jaimini Raj Yoga’s and other alternative Lagan’s used in Jaimini System
for finer predictions.
How to Predict Using Jaimini Chara Dasha
Step 1: Mark all the Seven Chara Karaka’s excluding Rahu & Ketu +
Mark Karkamsha Lagna + House Pada’s spl. Upapada
Step 2: Read and understand the chart while marking the various yoga’s formed by
these Chara Karaka’s.
Step 3: See the placement of current Chara Dasha from the Birth Lagna.
Step 4: Treat the current Dasha Rashi as Lagan and check how the Karaka’s have
been placed, including various yoga’s i.e the promise of the particular Rashi
Dasha.
Step 5: Analyze each sub-period in the same way as the step 4 but keeping the
promise identified in Step 4 in the mind.
Note: Do keep in the mind the Desh(Place),Kaal(Time) & Paatra(Native) in mind.
How to find the focus area of soul for the particular Dasha.

Note the placement of AK from the very first Dasha leading to the current Dasha.
You will see the broader focus area of you for that particular Dasha.
Dasha Sequence: Aries 1982-1987, Taurus ( 1987-1996), Gemini ( 1996-

2005),Cancer (2005-2016)
Note the position of AK-Saturn from the Dasha periods. AK significator for 1st
House-Self, Identity, Soul,Body etc.
In Aries Dasha, AK was placed in 6th house. The focus area for the soul was to
maintain health as the native fell ill number of times. Also, change of residence
and loss of sibling ( that was a birth chart promise which manifested in this Dasha).
AK being in dual sign aspecting 3rd,9th and 12th which clears the picture.
In Taurus Dasha, AK was placed in 5th house. The focus area for the soul was
education and recreation. Did well in studies and sports.Also, birth of second
sibling. AK aspecting 8th,11th & 2nd house.
In Gemini Dasha, AK was placed in the 4th House. The focus area for the soul was
home environment, education, mother. AK aspecting 1st,7th & 10th. Few non-life
threatening accidents. Father had a almost fatal accident.
In Cancer Dasha, AK was placed in the 3rd house. The focus area for the soul have
been struggle & overcoming hurdles, traveling & change of residence,Higher
education including foreign, debts-student loan,career progress & changes. AK
aspecting 6th, 9th,12th.
7
Like this we can judge for every Dasha the main focus area for soul. Obviously,
other Char Karaka’s play their parts but in hindsight, when you will look back,
these will be the focus area for the soul.
