The Complete Vimshottari Dasha Guide

The Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used predictive timing system in Vedic astrology. It divides life into a 120-year cycle, with each of the nine planets ruling a major period (Mahadasha) seeded from the exact longitude of the Moon at birth.

During each Mahadasha, the houses a planet rules and occupies are activated, shaping the themes of that chapter of life. Sub-periods (Antardasha) and micro-periods (Pratyantardasha) refine the timing of specific events.

This hub links our in-depth guide to every planetary Mahadasha. Start by calculating your running periods, then read the relevant planet guides.
