Challenging placements

Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Moon and Sun sit in your individual chart. If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.

Classical remedies

Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.

Timing and classical commentary

Position of both Mahadasha lord (Sun) and Antardasha lord (Moon) in 6th/8th/12th is considered doubly inauspicious. Sun and Moon are natural enemies — inherent tension exists in this combination.
