2020 – Year of Leo (Simha) Rasi

2020 Year of Leo

2020 is the year for Leo! Vedic astrology uses dasas and transits to determine good and bad periods in a person’s life. In the dasa system we look at grahas at three levels – maha dasa, antar dasa, and pratyantar dasa. Among these, the graha running the maha dasa is the most important. Dasa analysis is done from the individual’s lagna or ascendant. In transits we mainly look at the transits of Saturn, Rahu/Ketu, and Jupiter. Transit analysis is done from the Moon sign.

Mathematical model to combine Dashas and Transits

To create a mathematical model, we can give the following weights to each of these factors. The model indicates that transits’ influence can be 30 – 40%.

  • 30% – Maha Dasa Graha
  • 20% – Antar Dasa Graha
  • 10% – Pratyantar Dasa Graha
  • Saturn transit – 10%
  • Jupiter transit – 10%
  • Rahu/Ketu transit – 10%
  • Transit of other Grahas or Transit of the Maha Dasa Graha – 10%

In 2018, people with Kumbha rasi benefited the most from the transits getting the full 30% benefit from Saturn, Jupiter, and Rahu/Ketu transits. In 2019, people with Libra and Cancer rasis benefited the most. If their maha dasa lord and antar dasa lord where also strong, they would have had a spectacular year. 2020 is shaping out to be the year for Leo.

Jupiter transits on Nov 5th 2019 from Scorpio to Sagittarius. Saturn transits on Jan 24th 2020 from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Rahu/Ketu will transit on Sep 23rd 2020. Let us look at the rasis that benefit the most from these transits during the period – Jan 24th 2020 to Sep 23rd 2020.
