The Order of Planets in Vimshottari Dasha

Book excerpt: Why are the planetary rulers in Vimshottari Dasha sequenced the way they are? This is one of the many questions that I have pondered in my studies of Vedic Astrology. In my search for an answer one thing became abundantly clear, there is not much on the subject. There are only a handful of authors whose material I have had the fortune to obtain who have attempted to address this question. In other works where this question is raised, the overall consensus is that the reason behind the order of planetary rulers in Vimshottari Dasha is a mystery that has yet to be solved. With not being able to find a suitable answer in any of the already published material, I stumbled upon a subject called Vortex-Based Mathematics in the summer of 2009, where I was now able to see a possible explanation for why the order of planets in Vimshottari Dasha follows the sequence that it does. So I decided in December 2009 to attempt to put in writing the connection I saw with Vimshottari and what is called Vortex-Based Mathematics. I had completed a manuscript in September 2011, but did not think I had enough material to publish a book. After coming across the manuscript and the work I had already done in late January 2015, I decided that it would be well worth it to proceed with publishing the material I had put together. It is my sincere hope that this will help to shed some light on unraveling the mystery behind the order of planets in Vimshottari Dasha.
