Interpretation in all horoscopy must be an interplay of the static and the dynamic, for it to be a complete and meaningful study. For instance, if we are only confined to the natal Rashi Chakra, and the various Yogas therein, then we are unable to understand the functioning of time.
If, on the other hand, we only examine Dasha, and that too largely Vimshottari Dasha reckoned from the Janma Nakshatra, then we have lost context, and the exercise will lose all value for that reason.
We must be mindful of the fact that numerous Dashas have been taught in the classical literature for good reason. These serve their own specific purposes. Dasha does not, and cannot, mean only Vimshottari Dasha reckoned from the Janma Nakshatra. At the same time the Janma Vimshottari Dasha is universally applicable to all horoscopes in the Kaliyuga and gives excellent results. The conclusion is that the other Dashas are crucial because they reveal aspects of the horoscope, through the working of Kala, which a universal Dasha is not supposed to address.
When we examine the various charts in a horoscope, at any given point in time, we are usually focussed, and rightly so, on the areas that are most important in the understanding of the individual himself. But that does not mean that the important feature of well-being is overlooked; for, if the individual is not well, or suffering ill-health, or adversity in general then these facets must be factored in. Sometimes, in the natal horoscope, wellness is in jeopardy and combinations must be construed in that light, else the portrayal will be skewed. If the natal Moon, Lagna and Atmakaraka are afflicted, the unfolding of Rajayogas must be appreciated in accordance with other slants of reality.
When the Antaradasha is in Maraka Bhava to the Mahadasha, wellness must be examined because Kala is not favouring the individual in this respect. Health can be a problem. One has seen that even a Graha as auspicious as the Shubhapati, involved in such a situation, can test the individual in matters of health. Similar apprehensions must engage us when the Antaradasha is in Dusthana from the Mahadasha.
It is to be constantly remembered that the Atmakaraka is the real King ruling the life of an individual. Since His job is to cleanse the soul of the individual by burning the Karma, health issues can be precipitated at the soul level by the Atmakaraka, and by the influences on the Atmakaraka in the Navamsha Chakra (Karakamsha).
Mantra, and dominantly the Mrityunjaya Mantra is most important in such situations.
The converse is also true. When the Antaradasha is in Kendra or Kona from the Mahadasha then the anticipation is of positives and success. The charts have to be examined in this overarching light, when it comes to Dasha interpretation.
Conditional Dashas of Parashara have been discussed previously. There are numerous other variations of the Vimshottari Dasha which commence from points other than the Janma Nakshatra and the focus of these Dashas is on the Karmic reaction coming from the individual himself. The Janma Vimshottari will then indicate health and longevity (blood, Chandra) while the Vimshottari Dasha reckoned from these other places such as the 4th Nakshatra from Chandra, 8th Nakshatra from Chandra, 5th Nakshatra from Chandra etc. show the actual Karma brought forth by Kala.
The entire theme of life can be dictated by the mere applicability of these other Dashas to the horoscope and interpretation must proceed on those lines.
Similarly, strong peculiarities of Karma indicated by placements of Grahas such as Marana Karaka Sthana become capable of leading to important conclusions and resultant advice.
