Then comes a question – how to predict the periods of rise (and naturally fall also) through Chara dasha. As I have said for quick and sound predictions, use of both dashas simultaneously, gives fast, snapshot, yet very reliable results. But there are a lot of details that should be worked out. What has been given is a shorter route to dependable predictions, not the total in-depth analysis which takes the work of many days.

The last case is of a prediction given in 1991 to an important doctor of Delhi who knows astrology and discussed his horoscope. My prediction to him was that he would get a higher post, very dignified, after September 1991 and he is now a member of the Planning Commission. In 1996, he again became a member of the Planning Commission though I had told him that a better period was awaiting him outside India as a professor and consultant. He got Padma Sri and Padma Bhushan in the period of Scorpio dasha (1976-85) which contains his Amatyakaraka.

When he asked me the question he was running Libra dasha which is generally a very good dasha and from where both the Atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka aspect the tenth house. In the Aries sub period two benefics are in kendra from t, Venus, and the Moon, and Jupiter aspects the 10th house. In the Vimshottari dasha he was running Saturn- Venus, both trikona lords in their own houses.
But I must sound a warning that short cut methods in Vedic astrology should be avoided. Those who want to go deeper must work diligently on a horoscope.
