About the MahaDasha
Important Rule: Conjunctions in D-1
Check Video on Conjunctions of D1 - Vimshottari Dasha. Based on that, decide the planet if conjoined / in parivartana. This is the Dasa Lord from now on.
Exceptions for Nodes (Rahu/Ketu):
In case of nodes (Rahu/Ketu) in parivartana or conjunction - many times the results interchange is happening only when the planet(s) is exalted / debilitated. Otherwise, Nodes are giving their results and also the lord of the Rasi in which they are placed in D1.
Degree-based Rules:
- If there are planets on same degree (<1 degree difference) as lagna degree in any Rasi - they do not exchange results with any planet.
- If planets are on same nakshatra & pada - most likely results will be interchanged.
- Results are interchanged, if planets are exalted / debilitated / own sign etc.
