Bhukti
Bhukti is a term in Vedic astrology that means a sub-period within a larger planetary period called a Dasha. It shows how specific planetary influences unfold during a Dasha, giving astrologers more precise timing for predictions.
How Bhukti Works
Every Dasha (major period) is divided into nine Bhuktis, each ruled by a different planet.
For example, during a Mars Dasha, the first Bhukti is Mars itself, followed by Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, and so on.
The length and effects of each Bhukti depend on the planet’s nature and placement in the birth chart.
Why Bhukti Matters
Bhuktis help refine predictions by pinpointing what events or changes may happen and when.
A Bhukti ruled by a benefic planet (like Jupiter or Venus) often brings positive growth and support.
A Bhukti ruled by a malefic planet (like Saturn or Rahu) may bring delays, tests, or obstacles.
