Yogini dasha: the second clock

Alongside Vimshottari there's an older timing system with eight yoginis, each tied to a planet: Mangala (Moon, 1 year), Pingala (Sun, 2), Dhanya (Jupiter, 3), Bhramari (Mars, 4), Bhadrika (Mercury, 5), Ulka (Saturn, 6), Siddha (Venus, 7) and Sankata (Rahu, 8). That's a 36-year cycle.

Astrologers have long used it to cross-check. If both clocks point to the same planet, that planet's theme is probably the loudest one in your life right now.

You can see both clocks side by side at the top of Life Map.
