Vimshottari Dasha inauspicious difficult period-lord angles - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha Jyotish Vedic Astrology

There is one especially "bad angle" of relationship between planetary time-period lords. If these "bad angles" occur in the radix chart, then the dasha/bhukti of these two graha is predicted to be a difficult life experience.
When the major period lord = (Mahadasha pati, bhukti pat, pratyaantaradasha pati, etc.)	The "bad angle" =	When the distance from the period lord to the sub-period lord = the inauspicious angle, the Implications =
Surya [Sun]	6th-from Surya	poor health, faltering of the Will, damage to well-being, alienation from Divine Intelligence, animosity in public life, tarnished reputation, unhealth of the father
Chandra [Moon]	12th-from Chandra	emotional loss, alienation, withdrawal, denial, mother retreats into her private world, despair
Mangala [Mars]	12th-from Mangala	repressed anger, emotional volatility, subconscious conflict, psychosomatic illness
Budha [Mercury]	3rd-from Budha	Any graha in 3rd-from Budha can produce mental over-exertion. Too much thinking - even excessive positive thinking - can lead to mental exhaustion from the endless chatter, restlessness, anxiety, frayed nerves. Of all the seven graha which can occupy this place -- Chandra, Mangala, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, or Ketu -- Shani in 3rd-from-Budha poses the most serious challenge to the enjoyment of life. Shani in 3rd-from-Budha = negative thinking, scarcity thinking, mental oppression by the rule of law, unduly hard mental work, bitterness, undue concern with heavy consequences, and significant psycho-mental depression. If Shani occupies 3rd-from-Budha, there is a characteristic mental sobriety throughout the incarnation. This position indicates an agency of younger siblings and team-mates who suffer from excess fear. Their conservative and safety-seeking actions may create obstacles for positive expansion of the native's own life. the native may experience a light but pervasive mental depression throughout the 17 years of Budha mahadasha (even if the native is a child at the time, the depression will be felt for 17 years) the bhukti of Budha-Shani may induce a severe or extended depression, which lifts only at the tail end of the Budha mahadasha drishti from the gochara Shani affecting either Budha or Shani will deepen the existing depression Should Budha occupy the radix lagna or Chandra's bhava, so that Shani occupies not only 3rd-from-Budha but also 3rd-from-lagna/3rd-from-Chandra, the depression may be quite crippling. Much relieve can be felt when other graha cast a positive drishti upon natal Shanaischarya. Luckily, the Budha/Shani period occurs only once during the lifetime. Rahu in 3rd-from-Budha = risk-positive thinking, adventurous or taboo-breaking ideas, This position indicates an agency of younger siblings and team-mates who suffer from excess desire. Their disruptive and risky actions may create interruptions in stable progress of the native's own life. It is difficult to control the immediate younger sibling in particular, when this agent acts in ways that disregard protocol and challenge the law. During the mahadasha of Budha, if Rahu occupies 3rd-from-Budha, the native may feel that one's thoughts have taken on an obsessive-compulsive quality. It becomes difficult to control thoughts focused on the desire to possess a person, a power, or an experience. The native may be unable to endure limits of any kind upon one's behavior. One feels antagonistic toward authority and disrespectful of human law. Positive outcome can include the benefits of breaking with tradition in art, literature, sport, or other humanistic venues where innovation and risk are praised. Naturally if Rahu occupies a conservative rashi (of Shani or Shukra) or if Rahu occupies a house which craves stability (4 or 7), the prognosis is less happy. However an adventurous mentality can always produce something interesting even if the native must wait until after the Budha/Rahu period to receive proper validation for the ground-breaking or record-breaking production. During Budha/Rahu period one is more likely to feel censured for being disruptive, but indeed there may be praise forthcoming later, after Budha mahadasha is complete. Ketu in 3rd-from-Budha = withdrawal from commercial activity, disinterest in siblings This position indicates an agency of younger siblings and team-mates who suffer from excess detachment. Their apathetic withdrawal from life's vital sensuality may create frustration and paralysis in the native's own life. It is difficult to convince the immediate younger sibling to be more intensely involved or to be satisfied with the life that agent has chosen. The younger sibling under good conditions may be a celibate religious, or other saint. During the mahadasha of Budha, if Ketu occupies 3rd-from-Budha, the native may feel that the thoughts have taken on an apathetic quality. It becomes difficult to control thoughts focused on the desire to annihilate all attachment to the material plane. For the spiritually advanced and properly guided personality, true ego separation from material concerns may occur and a saintly detachment results. For the less spiritually aware, there is a tendency to depression and disconnection from reality which can be interpreted as mental illness, although it is usually just the first phase of a genuine enlightenment which will bloom in a later era of Ketu.
Guru [Jupiter]	6th-from Brihaspati	imbalance in belief system, animosity or antagonism from spiritual world, loss of confidence, religious doubt
Shukra [Venus]	4th-from Shukra (6th-from Shukra can be evil also)	excess desire which disturbs the home life; sloth; addictions; self-insulation in sensual pleasures During Shukra/Budha period, if Budha occupies 4th-from Shukra, it may seem that the communication difficulties in one's core relationships (particularly marriage and love unions) may simply be unsustainable, and the baby may go out with the bath water no matter how much talking transpires.
Shani [Saturn]	6th-from Saturn	tough enemies, rough conditions, exploitation, poverty, disease, chronic imbalance Sustained oppression of servitude or slavery. Need to work without a contract (6); underpaid; exploited with no legal recourse. Obligation to accept long-term, unresolvable problematic conditions while steadily working in a toxic, adversarial, resource-deprived, class-oppressed environment. Intimidation and loss of social or civil rights (loss of social contract) via social discrimination. Disagreements in marriage and broken contracts in business.

Rahu [North lunar node]	6th- from Rahu Rahu moves "backwards" so this would be a graha in a 6/8 angle to Rahu	obsessive-compulsive behaviors leading to poverty and animosity; attraction to dangerous people; hidden passions driving arguments and addictions; love-hate relationships theft.
Ketu [South lunar node]	12th-from Ketu Ketu moves "backwards" so this would be a graha in a 2/12 angle to Ketu	extreme detachment and quietude which could be, or be interpreted socially as, mental illness. Could also be a yogi in disguise! Death-wish, self-destructive behaviors.
