Hi Ernst and All,
I am redoing Jaimini courses and would like to do "who you are" kind of readings.
My question is, is it possible to do in-depth and accurate readings, without looking at dashas (vimshottati, transits, jaimini dashas) at all? So what are the limits of these self-knowledge readings, is it possible to give good interpretations without dasha analysis? Are there some effects that are activated only in the dasha?
Lets say I would like to do a reading on talents of the person, who would like to change job. Can I just do the jaimini techniques, and I will be accurate? Or i may mess things up as the dasha that would activate the effect will come at the age of 90, so it does not make sense for the person to give up his/her regular job for his/her passion? (Just an example.)
I havent done any predictive course so I am a bit confused how these dashas work, what are the permament aspects of a chart reading and what factors are dasha dependent. (Of course day will come when i dive into predictive stuff, but for now i am more interested in psychological and self-knowledge readings.)
Many thanks for your insights!
Regards
Agnes
Its very helpful for people to get a who they are reading. You can simply say, these are things you will do this lifetime, you dont need to time it or use dasas. The best way is if you say the things before they ask the question, so if you look and you say, you will do music, its much better than them asking, will i do music, and you say yes.
Its very validating for a person to hear information about something they want to do or be, and often helps them do what they know they need to do but haven't done for themselves, but its more powerful if you say it before they ask.
I learned a ton "about me" with Jaimini without looking into dasa at all. That being said, am currently diving into the Jaimini career stuff (audio course) and I find it pretty straightforward to narrow down the dasa the person is in. "Predicting career" and "Subtleties of career determination" manuals are great tool to use along the audios, and it's especially useful when someone has a lot of career planets and potential (helps narrow it down to the period they are in).
