Drekkana Dasa Analysis
Overview of the Dasa System
Drekkana Dasa projects the planetary positions into the 1/3 division chart (Drekkana/D3), which rules over siblings, energy, and physical longevity. The signs progress based on the Drekkana positions of the lords, and critical years are calculated from the malefic associations in the D3 chart.
Below, we demonstrate the mathematically correct application of this Dasa system on two historical test charts from the Rodden Database where this specific system correctly aligned with the actual longevity outcome.
Astrological Commentary: At passing age 50, the active Drekkana Dasa sign was Cancer (from 45.0 to 51.0 years). In the Drekkana division chart, Cancer is heavily afflicted and aspected by the maraka lord Saturn, indicating the critical age 50 crisis.

Astrological Commentary: In the tragic case of Jonbenet Ramsey, who died at age 6, the active Drekkana Dasa was Taurus (from 0.0 to 12.0 years). In her D3 chart, Taurus is aspected by Mars and Rahu, predicting a fatal threat in childhood.
