Introduction to Tri Das
The Tri Dasha principles offer an alternative method for analyzing Mahadasha, a significant aspect of Vedic astrology. In this approach, the Nakshatras are divided into three parts based on the Lagna, providing insights into a person’s past, present, and future. This blog post will delve into the details of this intriguing technique, shedding light on how it can be applied to gain a deeper understanding of one’s life journey through the example of a Mercury Mahadasha.
Tri Dasha and Nakshatra Division
In Tri Dasha, the Nakshatra Chakra is divided into three parts – Janma, Anujanma, and Trijanma. These divisions help determine the nature of events in one’s life concerning their past, present, and future. At the time of birth, the Nakshatra owned by the Moon is called Janma. The 10th Nakshatra from Janma is Anujanma, and the 19th Nakshatra from Janma is Trijanma.
Nakshatras and Their Significance:
To better understand this technique, we need to identify the significance of specific Nakshatras in the Tri Dasha system:
- Janma Tara: This is the Nakshatra where the Natal Moon is located.
- Sampat Tara: The 2nd Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Vipat Tara: The 3rd Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Kshema Tara: The 4th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Pratyak Tara: The 5th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Sadhaka Tara: The 6th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Nidhan or Vadha Tara: The 7th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Mitra Tara: The 8th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
- Param Mitra/Atimitra Tara: The 9th Nakshatra from Janma Tara.
Applying the Tri Dasha Principles
The Tri Dasha technique begins by categorizing the Nakshatras based on their connection to movable signs, dual signs, and fixed signs. Let’s explore this through an example involving a Mercury Mahadasha:
Lagna: Kumbha
Moon: Satabisha
Running Mahadasha: Mercury
Nakshatras of Mercury: Aslesha, Jyesta, Revathi
- Aslesha (Anujanma): This period falls under the control of the future, as it occupies the 6th house from Lagna. During this phase, the native laid the foundation for future endeavors. Notably, the native experienced financial losses in business but learned valuable lessons, leading to employment in different organizations. Family events included the loss of the mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and the marriage of a niece.
- Revathi (Janma): This period relates to the present life as it falls in the 2nd house from Lagna. The native’s professional growth was significant, and family matters in the Kutumbastana, Vaakstana, and Dhanastana progressed as planned. Events included the loss of a sister-in-law and assisting in settling a nephew.
- Jyesta (Trijanma): This phase represents the past and is associated with the 10th house from Lagna, indicating the Karma stana. The native lost his mother during this period and conducted her last rites. Additionally, the native experienced a heart attack, revealing a family history of heart issues and connecting with higher energies through Shaktipata initiation.
Conclusion
The Tri Dasha principles provide a unique perspective for analyzing Mahadasha in Vedic astrology. By understanding the three parts of Nakshatras and their connection to movable, dual, and fixed signs, astrologers can gain deeper insights into the significant life events that transpire in the past, present, and future. This method offers a valuable tool for astrologers and individuals seeking to understand their life journey and make informed decisions.
