What is Vimshottari Dasha System?
Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used planetary period system in Vedic astrology. It is a 120-year cycle of planetary periods based on the exact position of the Moon's node (Ketu) at the time of birth. Each planet rules a specific number of years in the cycle: Ketu (7), Venus (20), Sun (6), Moon (10), Mars (7), Rahu (18), Jupiter (16), Saturn (19), and Mercury (17).
The Dasha system reveals which planetary energies are dominant at any given time in your life. Your current Mahadasha determines the overarching theme of your life, while Antardashas and Pratyantardashas refine the timeline with greater precision. Understanding your Dasha is key to timing life events accurately.

Panchang — Frequently Asked Questions
Mahadasha is the primary planetary period lasting several years that sets the overall theme of that phase of your life (e.g., Venus Mahadasha lasts 20 years). Antardasha is a sub-period within a Mahadasha, lasting a few years, that adds a secondary planetary influence and refines the timing of events.
