Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Which dasha period is best for exams?

Mercury dasha supports all academic work - exams, certifications, competitive tests. Jupiter dasha supports postgraduate studies, research, and teaching. Sun dasha gives success in competitive entrance exams (UPSC, JEE, NEET).

Q.My rashi is not in the top 5 but I am a good student - why?

Rashi is the base tendency. Your 4th and 5th house lords, Mercury and Jupiter placement, and current dasha period matter more for actual academic performance. A strong Mercury in any chart supports excellent studies regardless of sun or moon rashi.
