ANTARDAŚĀS OF RĀŚIS: There are Antardaśās of the 12 rāśis commencing from the rāśi in which the lord of the Daśā is posited. There will be auspicious results like acquisition of kingdom (attainment of a high position in government) in the Antardaśā of a rāśi which is occupied by its own lord or a friendly planet. There will be inauspicious results like loss of wealth, disputes, danger from diseases etc. in the Antardaśā of the rāśi which may be the 6th, the 8th or the 12th or occupied by a malefic, debilitated planet or a planet housed in an inimical sign. The rāśi which contains more auspicious marks in the Aṣṭakavarga will yield benefic effects in its Antardaśā. Adverse will be the effects of the Antardaśā of the rāśi which contains more inauspicious marks. For assessing the results, the rāśi from which the Daśā commences should be treated as the Ascendant and the houses thereafter should be assumed to have the characteristics as if they are so from the Ascendant. Thus the 2nd house from that rāśi will be the house of the wealth, the 3rd of co-borns and so on. There will be gains or losses of Dhātus etc. assigned to the rāśis and the planets in the Antardaśā of the rāśis concerned. In judging the effects of the Antardaśās of the planets, their benefic and malefic nature, relations with the malefic or benefic aspects on them and their disposition in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th etc. should all be kept in view.
