Take the first model horoscope with the Aries Lagna, falling in the direct group. Here the dasha scheme will be direct, Aries, Taurus, Gemini etc. Now see how the dasha for each rashi is to be calculated:
| Rashi | Lord’s Placement | Years | Years | Net | ||||||||||||
| (from own house) | Counted | Deducted | Years | |||||||||||||
| Aries (Direct) | Second house | Two | One | One | ||||||||||||
| Taurus (Direct) | Own house | Twelve | None | Twelve | ||||||||||||
| Gemini (Direct) | Tenth house | Ten | One | Nine | ||||||||||||
| Cancer (Indirect) | Tenth house | Ten | One | Nine | ||||||||||||
| Leo (Indirect) | Fifth house | Five | One | Four | ||||||||||||
| Virgo (Indirect) | Seventh house | Seven | One | Six | ||||||||||||
| Libra (Direct) | Eighth house | Eight | One | Seven | ||||||||||||
| Scorpio (Direct) | Fifth house | Five | One | Four | ||||||||||||
| Ketu 26°32′ | ||||||||||||||||
| (Both are with one | ||||||||||||||||
| planet each but Ketu | ||||||||||||||||
| is of higher degree | ||||||||||||||||
| and is to be seen) | ||||||||||||||||
| Sagitt. (Direct) | Fifth house | Five | One | Four | ||||||||||||
| Capri. (Indirect) | Tenth house | Ten | One | Nine | ||||||||||||
| Aqua. (Indirect) | Saturn is with | Eleven | One | Ten | ||||||||||||
| two planets and is | ||||||||||||||||
| Stronger. Rahu is | ||||||||||||||||
| alone, so weaker. | ||||||||||||||||
| Pisces (Indirect) | Twelfth house | Twelve | One | Eleven | ||||||||||||
| Now counting from the year of birth the same can be written in this way: | ||||||||||||||||
| Aries | 1940 + | 1 | = | 1941 | ||||||||||||
| Taurus | 1941 + 12 | = | 1953 | |||||||||||||
| Gemini | 1953 + | 9 | = | 1962 | ||||||||||||
| Cancer | 1962 + | 9 | = | 1971 | ||||||||||||
| Leo | 1971 + | 4 | = | 1975 | ||||||||||||
| Vngo | 1975 + | 6 | = | 1981 | ||||||||||||
| Libra | 1981 + | 7 | = | 1988 | ||||||||||||
| Scorpio | 1988 + | 4 | = | 1992 | ||||||||||||
| Sagittarius | 1992 + 4 | = | 1996 | |||||||||||||
| Capricorn | 1996 + 9 | = | 2005 | |||||||||||||
| Aquarius | 2005 + 10 | = | 2015 | |||||||||||||
| Pisces | 2015 + 11 | = | 2026 | |||||||||||||
