Learn Vimshottari Dasha — Mahadasha, Antardasha and Pratyantardasha. Build your Kundli to see which planet rules your current life phase and exact period dates in your dashboard — computed from your birth Nakshatra.
Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used planetary period system in Vedic astrology. It divides your life into sequential phases ruled by the nine planets (including Rahu and Ketu), each lasting a fixed number of years. The sequence and starting point are determined by your Moon's Nakshatra at birth — making your Dasha timeline uniquely personal.
Mahadasha is the major planetary period (6 to 20 years depending on the planet). Antardasha is a sub-period within the Mahadasha, and Pratyantardasha is a sub-sub-period for even finer timing. Together they reveal when career shifts, relationship changes, and major life events are most likely to unfold.
We calculate your birth Nakshatra from the Moon's sidereal position, determine the balance of your starting Mahadasha at birth, and generate the complete timeline forward. Your full chart includes every Mahadasha, Antardasha, and Pratyantardasha with exact start and end dates — no manual lookup tables required.
After you complete onboarding with date, time, and place of birth, My Horoscope computes your Dasha sequence from your Moon's Nakshatra. Mahadasha, Antardasha, and Pratyantardasha with dates appear in your dashboard — not on this landing page.
Mahadasha is the major planetary period in Vimshottari Dasha. Each of the nine planets rules for a fixed duration — for example, Saturn Mahadasha lasts 19 years, Venus 20 years, and Ketu 7 years. The planet ruling your current Mahadasha strongly influences your life themes during that period.
The nine Mahadasha periods total 120 years: Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, and Mercury 17 years. Sub-periods (Antardasha) are proportional fractions of the major period.
Your current Dasha depends on your birth Nakshatra and how much time had elapsed in your starting Mahadasha at birth. Enter your birth details and My Horoscope will show your active Mahadasha, Antardasha, and upcoming transitions.
Dasha periods activate different planets in your chart, triggering events related to that planet's house placements and significations. Timing predictions in Jyotish rely heavily on Dasha analysis — it tells you not just what will happen, but when.
