The Yogini dasha operating at the time of birth is obtained by adding 3 to the nakshatra of the Moon, and dividing by eight. The remainder gives the number of the Yogini dasha operating at the time of birth, according to the order given above. As in the Vimshottari dasha, the balance of Yogini dasha must be determined from the remaining part of the Moon’s nakshatra.
