Although Jaimini system of Astrology is generally considered to be an offshoot of Traditional Parasari system, in fact it is a part and parcel of ancient Indian Astrology. There are certain delicate niceties, which make the system so unique. In many cases, it will be found that sage Jaimini had dispensed with cumbersome calculations, and instead had offered some simple yet very useful methods.
In this system, the signs are given relatively more importance, and the aspects are considered of signs and not of planets, which is different from traditional Parasari practice. The Dasha systems are also distinctly different. In most cases, those are not of planets but of signs, those are not dependent on the longitude of the Moon, and there is no question of finding the Balance of Dasha at birth. The durations of all the Dashas, including that of the commencing one, are always in terms of a number of full years.
However, there are certain exceptions in case of a few Jaimini Dasha systems like Karaka Dashas, Atma-Karaka Dasha, and Upa-Karaka Graha Dasha. In these cases, the Dashas are of signs and planets combined. Besides, in these cases, only those signs which are occupied by planets will appear in the list of Dashas, while the remaining signs will not have their Dasha periods. This makes Jaimini Light 10 useful for astrologers who want practical access to these methods in a clean working environment.
