While studying applicability of Ashtottari I have come across this criteria:
| Quote: |
1) Whether Rahu is placed in a Kendra or Trikona from Paka Lagna (i.e. the sign occupied by the Lord of Lagna).
2) Whether birth at day time is in Krishna Paksha, OR Whether birth at night time is in Sukla Paksha.
3) If both of (1) or (2) above is applicable, then use Ashtottari dasa, else apply Vimsottari dasa. |
Rahu in 12th house is in Trikona with Shani (Lord of Lagna in 8th House) and my Birth is in day (12 minutes before Sun set) time in Krishna Paksha.
Please guide me.

Dear Kagashe,
Vimshottari Dasa system applies Everyone. It is said that it is the best dasa in Kali yuga.
Besides this there are many 'Conditional dasas'. Ashtottatri is one of them.ri is basically an ayur dasa. Some say it is a very dasa for yogas. Some hold it is applicable to all.
Your Rahu is in trine from Paka lagna. You are born in Krishnapaksha.
You were born in Krisnapaksha at day time.( time of sunet on your birthday was at 18.30 hrs). Thus in your case only one of the 2 rules apply.
There are two kinds of Astottari dasa. They are Adradi andKrittikadi. It is said that adradi shoud be followed for this age.
The universal and safest dasa system is Vimshottari dasa.
I hope I am clear.
