Vimshottari dasha is the main timing system in Parashari Jyotish: a 120-year cycle of planetary periods ruled by the Moon’s nakshatra at birth. The running Mahadasha sets the broad theme of life; Antardasha narrows the focus to sub-periods. Enter your birth details to see which dashas are active now and their date ranges. Interpretation still depends on the full chart—houses, yogas and transits—but knowing your current lords is the first step before you ask the AI reader follow-up questions about career, relationships or moves.

FAQ
Dasha questions
What is Mahadasha?
Mahadasha is the major planetary period in Vimshottari dasha. Each planet rules a block of years in a fixed sequence starting from your birth nakshatra lord.
What is Antardasha?
Antardasha is a sub-period within the Mahadasha. Effects blend the themes of both the major and sub lords.
How accurate are the dates?
Dates follow Vimshottari rules from the Moon’s exact longitude at birth. Birth time matters: each hour of error can shift dasha dates by roughly 0.25–0.8 years, and an unknown time can shift them by years or even change the starting lord. House-level predictions still need a reliable clock.
Does dasha alone predict events?
No responsible Jyotish reads dasha in isolation. Transits, divisional charts and the natal promise of the houses must agree before timing a specific outcome.
Can I see the full 120-year list?
Yes—open the Dasha tab in your chart panel for the complete Mahadasha timeline.
