How to use the Vimshottari Dasha

Vimshottari Dasha is the master timeline of Vedic astrology: a 120-year sequence of planetary periods (maha-dashas), each ruled by a different graha, that colours long stretches of your life.

Getting started

Enter birth date, time and place. The Moon's exact birth star sets which planet's period you were born into and how much of it remained.
The table dates each maha-dasha forward and highlights the one you are living now.

Reading your result

The current maha-dasha names the planet running your life right now — read its themes as the backdrop to these years. The first period is only the balance left at birth, so it is usually short.

Astrologer's tip Pair this with your nakshatra: the dasha lord and birth star together are the backbone of a Vedic reading.
