Astrology The Karmic Theory (Vedic Way).
By K.N.Subramanyam The dasa shows how our karma unfolds in Astrology. There are many dasa systems in Vedic Astrology that allow us to see karma unfolding here on Earth . The most prominent is the Vimshottari dasa system. It is a system that uses a 120 year cycle where each planet rules a certain number of years, which is also broken down into sub periods from there. The sub periods (called bhuktis) are in the same order and divided relative to the dasa length below. For instance Ketu dasa starts with Ketu / Ketu, then Ketu / Venus, then Ketu / Sun, etc. Very accurate results are possible using this dasa system to predict what karmas will unfold at what time. The planetary dasas in the Vimshottari dasa system unfold in this order. 1. Ketu 7 years 2. Venus 20 years 3. Sun 6 years 4. Moon 10 years 5. Mars 7 years 6. Rahu 18 years 7. Jupiter 16 years 8. Saturn 19 years 9. Mercury 17 years There is much speculation about why they are in this order. I h
