Vimshottari is the most widely used dasha system in Vedic and KP astrology. It divides a 120-year cycle among the nine planets, each ruling a Mahadasha (major period) of a fixed length. The planet whose Mahadasha is running colours that entire phase of life, while its sub-periods (Antardashas) refine the timing of events.
The fixed sequence is Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. Your starting point is set by the Moon's nakshatra at birth. To see which Mahadasha you are running now, generate your free Kundli.
