Dasha Bhukti Kandam

                                             (Also Known As: Dasa Bhukti Kandam, Planetary Transit Timing Chapter)

Definition & Purpose of Dasha Bhukti Kandam:

The Dasha Bhukti Kandam provides a precise timeline of life events, as governed by the planetary Mahadasha (major period) and Bhukti (sub-period) sequences derived from your birth chart (Janma Kundali). This chapter unfolds your destiny through the lens of time, allowing you to understand when major events are likely to occur and what planetary influences are driving them.

Unlike general or thematic predictions, this chapter is deeply time-specific, allowing for year-wise or even month-wise foresight. It is extremely useful in aligning your actions with favorable periods and preparing spiritually and practically for challenging ones.

Key Elements of Dasha Bhukti Kandam:

1. Mahadasha and Bhukti Predictions

• Each human life flows through the cyclic influence of the nine planets (Navagrahas), according to the Vimshottari Dasha system.

• The chapter details:

  • The native's current Mahadasha (e.g., Saturn Dasha) and upcoming periods

  • Each Mahadasha is further broken down into Bhuktis (sub-periods), such as Saturn–Venus, Venus–Rahu, etc.

  • For every Dasha-Bhukti combination, the planet's placement, strength, house ownership, and aspects are considered to predict the effect.

These combinations are unique to each individual and mark turning points in life—both materially and spiritually.

2. Time-Based Life Events

This section reveals when significant events are most likely to happen based on planetary influence:

• Marriage or separation

• Career developments, promotions, or job changes

• Business growth or financial loss

• Childbirth or difficulties in conception

• Illness, surgery, accidents, or recovery

• Spiritual openings, pilgrimages, or inner transformation

• Foreign travel or relocation

• Acquisition or loss of property or wealth

Each event is aligned with the planetary rulers of relevant houses (e.g., 7th house for marriage, 10th for career, 5th for children), along with the strength and nature of the planets active during that period.

3. Good and Bad Periods

The chapter clearly identifies auspicious periods (Subha Dasha Bhuktis) for new ventures, marriage, travel, or spiritual practices.

• It also warns about challenging periods (Asubha Bhuktis) that may bring:

  • Delays, losses, misunderstanding, separation

  • Health challenges or emotional setbacks

  • Legal issues or spiritual stagnation

• Based on this, the native is advised to take action, wait, or focus inward, aligning with the planetary flow.

This guidance allows the native to cooperate with divine timing instead of resisting it blindly.

4. Remedies for Dasha Doshas

If a particular Dasha or Bhukti is malefic due to planetary affliction (e.g., Saturn in 8th house, Mars with Rahu), the Kandam may include:

• Suggested pariharas (remedies) like:

  • Chanting specific mantras (e.g., Shani Gayatri, Navagraha stotra)

  • Fasting or temple visits on planetary weekdays

  • Homams or Yagnas dedicated to ruling deities

  • Offering donations during transit-sensitive times

• Behavioral or spiritual adjustments, such as:

  • Avoiding risky decisions in Rahu or Ketu Bhuktis

  • Practicing humility or charity during Saturn periods

These remedies, when performed sincerely, can ease the severity of karmic impacts and bring inner balance during turbulent phases.
