Nandita, Tarun, and Ekaterina. Introduction to Karakas of Nakshatras based on Karma Phala, Trimurti and Tattvas in the Navamsha
​
This is an introduction to techniques which are not commonly practiced. Even though this is only an introduction, it is new material for many, even advanced astrologers.

Rishi Parashara states that there are Rashi dashas and Nakshatra dashas. The most commonly used dasha is Vimshottari which is a Nakshatra dasha. One of the first steps to understanding the karmaphala of Vimshottari dasha is to have full clarity on the basic karakas of the Nakshatras and Grahas which has less to do with personality and more to do with activity. The Nakshatras are assigned Grahas not as rulers, but as provocateurs and distributors of the fruits of those Nakshatras.

In Vimshottari dasha system, each Graha is responsible for the karma phala (karmic fruit) of 3 nakshatras each. These are furthermore divided into 3 groups of activity based on Trimurti activity: Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. As each Nakshatra has 4 padas, this forms 12 portions of the Navamsa and they are divided into Trimurti activity. They are also attributed a tattva (elemental function.)

In our presentation, we will discuss the building blocks required to lay a firm understanding of how to read the release of the fruits of karma from a Nakshatra perspective.

This simple—but rarely used—technique is based on years of hands-on research done by Eve Mendoza which she recently shared for the first time with her students. Eve has encouraged objective observation over mere memorization of rules or parroting any book, so please attend with an open mind.
