Common questions
What is a Mahadasha?
Mahadasha is the major planetary period in the Vimshottari Dasha system. Each of the nine planets rules a period ranging from 6 to 20 years. The Mahadasha planet strongly influences the themes of your life during its period.
How is the starting dasha determined?
Your first dasha is determined by the nakshatra (lunar mansion) the Moon occupied at your birth. The remaining years of that nakshatra's dasha are your starting dasha balance.
