What is Vimshottari Dasha?

In Vedic astrology, your birth chart (Kundli) shows what is promised in your life, but the Vimshottari Dasha shows when those promises will be fulfilled.

Vimshottari Dasha is a unique predictive system that assigns 120 years to nine planets in a specific order:

Sun
6Y
Moon
10Y
Mars
7Y
Rahu
18Y
Jupiter
16Y
Saturn
19Y
Mercury
17Y
Ketu
7Y
Venus
20Y

How Your Dasha is Calculated

The starting point of your Dasha cycle depends on the exact degree of the Moon at birth. Specifically, it depends on which of the 27 Nakshatras the Moon was placed in.

For example, if you were born with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra, you would begin your life in the Dasha of Ketu. The remaining balance of that Dasha is calculated based on how much of the Nakshatra was left to transit at the moment of birth.

Vimshottari Dasha FAQ

What is Vimshottari Dasha?

Vimshottari Dasha is a 120-year planetary-period system used in Vedic astrology. Its starting point is based on the Moon's Nakshatra at birth. Its interpretations are traditional beliefs, not scientifically established predictions of life events.

How is the starting Dasha determined?

The starting Dasha is determined by the Nakshatra (lunar mansion) occupied by the Moon at birth. Each of the nine grahas is assigned a period in the 120-year cycle.

What are Mahadasha and Antardasha?

Mahadasha is the major planetary period (lasting 6 to 20 years). Antardasha (or Bhukti) is the sub-period within a Mahadasha. Further divisions include Pratyantardasha (sub-sub period).

Can Dasha tell me when I will get a job?

Vimshottari Dasha is used by some Vedic astrologers to interpret life periods, including career themes. It cannot reliably determine whether or when you will get a job; use practical career planning and qualified advice for employment decisions.

How accurate is the online dasha calculator?

The timeline is calculated from the birth details, Moon position, and Dasha rules used by the app. Results can vary with birth-time uncertainty, calculation settings, and tradition. Dasha interpretations are not scientifically validated predictions.
