Namaste Arvind (et .al)
The question asked is no small matter ... Let me see if I can give you what you are requesting w/o over-doing it.
For those interested in Jyotish, this may be of interest. For the the casual reader, Arvind has asked me
'what time is it?' and I cannot answer without informing him on how to build the watch!
So, I will
not build the watch completely as this requires a substantial in-depth conversation on Vedic Jyotish matters. I will though give a flavor of what this (Sri Lagna) is and how it works.
[
as you know this knowledge is that of the tradition, and we thank them for their wisdom. We thank Sri Lakshmi for her blessings on this matter, as it is Her shakti we discuss -
Om Sri Mahalakshmi Namaha ]
First, Some Run Way
We will use Native 1's information from the previous post. Using Gandhi's information will take more explaining, so we go with the simpler-is-better approach.
For Native 1, the Sri Lagna position appears in Taurus, the the Nakshatra of Krittika [ please review the very first post on this subject above].
Sri Lakshmi starts there and She moves throughout the various houses. This is new information for you. That is, there is a specific count that Sri Lagna moves as the native ages.
She moves though Kendras first, then panapharas and then apoklimas. There are specific rules of movement, forward, backwords. And if Sri Lagna encounters specific graha's, the the rules change. So as you can see, bit of an overall endeavor to explain succinctly.
Looking at Sri Lagna's Dasa system -
There is a rasi dasa system that depicts the periods of Sri Lagna's movement and where she resides. The dasa system is called Sri Lagna Kendradi Rasi. Jyotishi's know this as Sudasa. This dasa system informs the Jyotishi were Sri Lagna resides, within a given year, or it's Maha (great) dasa position , on a yearly basis. The Maha dasa can be the same for several years in a row, then changes to a new rasi position based upon the rules suggested above. I have computed this below for Native 1's Sri Lagna positions from birth.

What To Do With This Information?
We look for the blessings in one's chart. There is a post on this and perhaps reviewing it would be beneficial.
The question is , when does Sri Lakshmi bestow her blessings on the native? What Blessings? Dhana Lakshmi gives money, yet Dhanya gives food, Arogya Lakshmi gives health, Vidya Lakshmi gives knowledge, Gaja lakshmi gives vehicles, and Moksha Lakshmi assists in liberation. Are there others? sure, but lets keep it simple.
- When Sri Lakshmi comes in contact with Gatikha Lagna (which we have calculated) she gives power and authority.
- When She comes in contact with Hora Lagna She gives wealth or financial improvments ( recall wealth is not only $$$)
- When She comes in contact with Guru ( Jupiter) She is Vidya Lakshmi, knowledge comes to the native.
- When She comes in contact with Ketu, the Mokshakaraka, the assists with enlightenment
- When She comes in contact with ones Ascendent, there is Her blessings of one's 1st house and the indicator's thereof
- When She comes in contact with yogada's, Raja yogada's and Maha yogada's , She brings her influence again.
- What to dasy when She comes in contact with the IShtadevata and the Atmakaraka in ones chart. Sri Lagna also applies to al the varga or 'amsa' charts. So we look to the D20 or the Vimsamsa for spiritual matters.
With Her blessings there are things that have Argula on Her too... we spoke of argula, or intervention. So this plays a role. As does various influences that may retard (badaka sign) or compliment (exalted graha's) the blessings Sri Laksmi via Sri Lagna brings to one's life.
Concluding remarks
This gives a substantial overview on this matter. One last thing, the Naryana Dasa system compliments this Sudasa system in terms of timing. As Narayana dasa indicates how the world comes to you and efforts expended. Sri Lagna via Sudasa shows of what fruits are brought to the native with various prosperity and blessings from Her.
To go deeper and wider with this is a substantial effort. There needs to be more foundational learning in other Jyotish techniques and methods for the sisya, which will lead us to a full blown Jyotish class... this , I am not prepared for, and perhaps few only few on this forum have the interest or desire to go to this level.
So, as time permits and various subjects come up, I will offer what I know to assist in one's Jyotish comprehension.
Let noble thoughts come to us from every side - Rig-Veda, 1-89-i
