FreeWhat is Dwadashottari Dasha?
Dwadashottari Dasha is a conditional dasha system with a 112-year total cycle. "Dwadashottari" means "112" in Sanskrit. It uses 8 planets — Rahu is excluded, unlike Vimshottari where all 9 Navagraha are included.
The year allocations are: Sun (7), Moon (9), Mars (11), Mercury (13), Jupiter (15), Venus (17), Saturn (19), Ketu (21). The allocations follow an odd-number arithmetic progression, with Ketu receiving the longest period at 21 years.
Dwadashottari is applied when the Lagna falls in Sagittarius and specific conditions related to the Nakshatra and planetary positions are present at birth. This system is less commonly used than Vimshottari or Ashtottari but has strong classical backing in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra.
Frequently Asked Questions
The year allocations are: Sun (7), Moon (9), Mars (11), Mercury (13), Jupiter (15), Venus (17), Saturn (19), Ketu (21). Total = 112 years. The allocations follow an odd-number arithmetic progression starting from 7.
Classical texts do not provide a definitive reason for Rahu's exclusion. Each conditional dasha system has its own set of included planets. Ashtottari excludes Ketu, Dwadashottari excludes Rahu, and Panchottari excludes both shadow planets. The mathematical structure of each system dictates which planets are included.
Dwadashottari Dasha applies when the Lagna is in Sagittarius with specific conditions met at birth. If these conditions are not present, Vimshottari Dasha is the default system. Classical texts describe the exact conditions in detail.
