Question 1

What is Lomanshadi?

Accepted Answer

Lomanshadi is BestKundli's personalised 120-year Vimshottari Dasha life-events timeline. It decodes every mahadasha and antardasha period from your Vedic birth chart into specific life milestones - marriage windows, career peaks, children timelines, wealth phases, health alerts, and spiritual turning points. The report combines 95-yoga detection, Jaimini Karaka analysis, Manglik dosha evaluation, and Navamsa (D9) and Dasamsa (D10) divisional charts to give a comprehensive view of your life's arc.

Question 2

How is the 120-year Vimshottari Dasha timeline calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Vimshottari Dasha system starts from the Moon's longitude at birth - its nakshatra determines which planetary dasha you are born into and how much of it remains at birth. The nine planets (Ketu 7 yrs, Venus 20 yrs, Sun 6 yrs, Moon 10 yrs, Mars 7 yrs, Rahu 18 yrs, Jupiter 16 yrs, Saturn 19 yrs, Mercury 17 yrs) follow in a fixed sequence totalling 120 years. Each mahadasha divides further into nine antardashas. Lomanshadi computes the exact start and end date for every period and scores each dasha lord's natal placement using a Shadbala-style formula to calibrate the intensity of predictions.

Question 3

What are Jaimini Karakas and how do they predict marriage and children?

Accepted Answer

Jaimini Karakas are seven planets ranked by their degree within a sign in the natal chart. The Atmakaraka (highest degree) represents the soul's purpose; the Darakaraka (second lowest) is the natural indicator of spouse and marriage; the Putrakaraka (third highest) indicates children. Lomanshadi flags marriage milestones when the Darakaraka's dasha period activates or when the dasha lord rules the 7th house, and flags children milestones when the Putrakaraka activates or when the 5th house lord's dasha runs.

Question 4

How does Lomanshadi analyse Manglik dosha for marriage?

Accepted Answer

Lomanshadi's marriage profile runs four independent analyses. First, it checks for Manglik dosha - Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house - and applies all classical cancellation rules (Mars in its own sign, Mars exalted, Jupiter in the ascendant, and more). Second, it scores the 7th house by counting benefic and malefic occupants and aspects. Third, it checks Venus combustion (proximity to the Sun). Fourth, it assesses Jupiter's protection level over the 7th house. These four scores are combined into a marriage readiness profile for each dasha period.

Question 5

What do the Navamsa (D9) and Dasamsa (D10) charts reveal in Lomanshadi?

Accepted Answer

For every mahadasha lord, Lomanshadi computes the sign that planet occupies in the Navamsa (D9) and Dasamsa (D10) divisional charts. The Navamsa reveals the dharma and marriage sub-theme of each dasha period - a mahadasha lord well-placed in D9 amplifies positive marriage and spiritual outcomes. The Dasamsa reveals career and professional sub-themes - a strong D10 placement during a dasha period signals career advancement and public recognition. These divisional chart overlays add a deeper layer of precision beyond the natal chart alone.
