About Vimshottari Dasha System

Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used planetary period system in Vedic astrology. It divides a human lifespan of 120 years into nine planetary periods, each ruled by one of the nine planets.

The Dasha system helps predict when specific events are likely to occur in your life. Each Mahadasha (major period) is further divided into Antardashas (sub-periods), creating a detailed timeline of planetary influences.

The Nine Planetary Periods:

  • Sun (Surya): 6 years - Authority, ego, father, government
  • Moon (Chandra): 10 years - Emotions, mind, mother, public
  • Mars (Mangal): 7 years - Energy, action, siblings, property
  • Rahu: 18 years - Desires, foreign, materialism, innovation
  • Jupiter (Guru): 16 years - Wisdom, spirituality, children, growth
  • Saturn (Shani): 19 years - Discipline, karma, delays, longevity
  • Mercury (Budh): 17 years - Intellect, communication, business
  • Ketu: 7 years - Spirituality, liberation, past life karma
  • Venus (Shukra): 20 years - Love, luxury, arts, comforts

Note: Accurate birth time and location are essential for precise Dasha calculations. The starting Mahadasha is determined by the Moon's position at birth.
