D12 Narayana Dasha — Relationship with Parents & Parents' Individual Fortunes
D12 (Dvadasamsha) Narayana Dasha: three uses — (1) relationship with parents/grandparents from the native's perspective, (2) mother's own fortune (ND from D12 Moon), (3) father's own fortune (ND from D12 Sun). For each parent's individual fortune: take D12 Moon (or Sun) as lagna, run ND from the stronger of Moon-lagna/7H (or Sun-lagna/7H). Events in parents' lives timed through the native's D12 ND.
"D-12 can show 3 things: your relationship with parents, your mother's fortune, and your father's fortune — all from the same chart but with different reference points."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
Example Chart
D-12 ND — Relationship with Parents
What D-12 ND Shows (Default Version)
The default D-12 Narayana Dasha (starting from the 12th lord of the Rasi chart's position in D-12) shows:
- How the native's relationship with parents unfolds over time
- When there is harmony, separation, friction, reunion
— PVNR"It is the progression of the 12th lord — the intelligence applied to give-and-take in life. Compromise in relationships. It shows how the relationship with parents is going."
It does NOT show what happens to the parents themselves (for that, see below).
How to Set It Up (Software)
- Select D-12 in Narayana Dasha options
- Take the 12th lord in the Rasi chart → find where he is in D-12
- That sign + its 7th form the axis; take the stronger sign as the starting lagna
- Enter that sign in "Start Dasha from" option
Example: Capricorn Dasha in D-12 (This Chart)
- Capricorn = 4th house in D-12 (from Libra lagna)
- 4th house = comfort, sukha, happiness — in the context of parental relationship, it's the emotional comfort and connection with parents
- 6th lord Jupiter (debilitated) is in Capricorn (4H) → affliction of the 4th house of sukha
- When 6th lord or 8th lord is in 4H from lagna, expect lack of comfort (friction)
- Capricorn = Prishtodaya → last 1/3 gives Capricorn results; Lord Saturn in Sirshodaya (Libra) → first 1/3
- Middle 1/3 = associations (Mars, Rahu, Jupiter aspect Capricorn)
- When was friction likely: Middle 1/3 (1991 Jan – 1992 May) = Jupiter's portion = lack of sukha/comfort
- What happened: Around end of her engineering degree, she wanted to do masters/go to Hyderabad; parents wanted her close; friction especially with mother ✓
Taurus Dasha in D-12 (Current at Time of Class)
- Taurus = 8th house in D-12 (8H from Libra lagna)
- Both sign (Prishtodaya) and lord Venus (also Prishtodaya) → associations get the 1st slot
- Associations: Venus, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter (ordered by longitude: Venus first, then Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter)
- 1st slot results: Venus (lagna lord) aspect → very good; reunion, happiness; parents visiting
- What happened: Parents came to USA in October and stayed through class date; going back today (class day)
- 8th house sign = separation also possible; Jupiter in last portion of associations = separation (Jupiter = 3rd/6th lord; 6th lord = separation/departure) ✓
D-12 ND — Fortune of Mother (Separate ND)
To see what happens to mother (not just the native's relationship with her):
How to Set It Up
- 4th house = mother's house in the native's chart
- In D-12: take the 4th house in D-12 from the native's D-12 lagna
- Find the stronger of that 4th house sign and its 7th (= 10th from native's D-12 lagna)
- Enter that as "Start Dasha from" = this is now mother's Narayana Dasha derived from D-12
— PVNR"This is not for seeing what will happen to father or mother's Raj Yoga or health problems in a direct sense. It is for seeing how her relationship with them goes — through the lens of that parent's chart derived from D-12."
(There is a general quality that results won't be 100% precise since we're seeing mother through daughter's D-12.)
Example Results
- Virgo Dasha for mother from D-12 = 9th house → foreign travel; mother came to USA 4 times during this period ✓
- Leo Dasha for mother = 8th house with Mars and Rahu → should be careful of health; accident potential
- Virgo Dasha last 1/3 = Sun's aspect (8th lord) → bone injuries; mother broke her ankle during this period ✓
- Sun = significator for bones (Rakta/blood = Moon; Fat = Jupiter; Bones = Sun)
- Sun in 2002-2003 = gave bone-related health problem ✓
D-12 ND — Fortune of Father (Separate ND)
How to Set It Up
- 9th house = father's house
- In D-12: take 9th house in D-12 from native's D-12 lagna
- Find the stronger of that 9th house sign and its 7th (= 3rd from native's lagna)
- Enter that as "Start Dasha from" = father's Narayana Dasha derived from D-12
Reading Father's Chart
For this chart: starting from Gemini (9H stronger than Sagittarius). Taking Gemini as lagna for father:
Capricorn Dasha for father (started Sep 2003):
- Capricorn = 8th house from Gemini (father's lagna)
- 10th lord (Jupiter, debilitated) is in Capricorn (8H)
- 8th house = changes in lifestyle; retirement is a clear indicator (10th lord in 8H = change in career = retirement)
Applying 3-Parts:
- Capricorn = Prishtodaya → LAST slot
- Lord Saturn = in Libra (Sirshodaya) → FIRST slot
- Saturn gave the result in the first slot
- Saturn = 8th lord (Capricorn lagna's 8th lord = whatever...); from Gemini lagna, Saturn is 8th and 9th lord
- 8th lord exalted in 5th house → gives retirement WITH a promotion (exalted = happy, proud; 5th house = recognition)
- What happened: Father retired in 2004 with a promotion just before retirement (promotion → better retirement benefits) ✓
Is Capricorn Dasha good for business? → NOT advised
- Father's AL = Aquarius (A9 from Gemini lagna)
- Capricorn is 12th from AL → material losses
- Capricorn is 8th from Gemini lagna → anxiety, instability
- Advice: Don't start any business; take it easy
Leo Dasha for father:
- Leo = 3rd house from Gemini
- 3rd house = initiative, consulting, short-term contracts
- Contains 6th lord (obstacles) and 11th lord (gains)
- = Can start consultancy, do some consulting after retirement → good for a post-retirement career beginning
- Advice: After 2007, Leo dasha → can start some independent consulting ✓
