In Vedic Astrology (Parashari Jyotish), the Vimshottari Dasha system is the supreme predictive tool used to map the timing of major life events. Based on a full human cosmic lifespan of 120 years, each of the nine planetary rulers (Grahas) takes control of your life for a specific duration.

Knowing which Mahadasha (Major Period) and Antardasha (Sub-Period) you are currently running allows you to understand why certain years bring rapid career growth, sudden financial windfalls, spiritual shifts, or periods of patience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is the starting Mahadasha calculated at birth? +
Your starting Mahadasha is determined by the planetary lord of your Janma Nakshatra (Moon's birth star). The exact degree of the Moon in that Nakshatra determines the remaining balance of years in that initial dasha.
What is the difference between Mahadasha and Antardasha? +
Mahadasha is the broad multi-year macro period (lasting between 6 and 20 years) setting the overarching life theme. Antardasha is the sub-period within that Mahadasha (lasting months to a few years) that triggers specific milestone events.
What is Dasha Sandhi? +
Dasha Sandhi is the transition phase between the end of one major Mahadasha and the beginning of another (especially between Rahu-Jupiter or Saturn-Mercury). Major life changes or psychological shifts typically take place during this transitional window.
