Planets, their locations, and their movements or motions have always been important in predicting the future. In a native’s existence, every planet has a governing time. Dashas are the names given to these reigning eras. In Vedic astrology, there are various Dasha systems. The Vimshottari Dasha system, Ashtottari, Kaala Chakra, Chara, and Yogini Dasha systems are some of the Dashas. The Vimshottari Dasha system is the most well-known and accurate. The total time spent by the nine planets in the life of a native is 120 years. As a result, a Dasha is unlikely to occur again in one’s life.

The Dasha that will be active during the native’s lifetime is determined by the moon’s location in the star constellations and in the birth chart. The moon’s position also influences which Dashas will be active during a person’s lifetime. The Moon Nakshatra is used to calculate Dasha in this approach. This method’s forecast is thought to be accurate. Mahadasha is another name for it.

Mahadashas is split into nine sub-periods known as Antar Dashas. These Antardashas are further split into nine Pratyantar Dasha segments, each with nine periods. Special Janampatri might reveal Mahadasha prophecies in your Kundli.

Determine Your Mahadasha or Vimshottari Dasha

Vedic Astrology assigns three nakshatras to each planet to define the Mahadasha period. This brings the total number of nakshatras to twenty-seven. The planet’s Mahadasha is determined by the Moon’s position in a certain Nakshatra. At the time of birth, the Nakshatra Lord will determine the Mahadasha of a certain planet. If the moon enters a nakshatra at the moment of birth, the native will experience Mahadasha of the governing planet of that nakshatra. However, if the moon has just passed and barely a few degrees remain, the governing planet will enjoy a brief time of Mahadasha.

The impact of Vimshottari Dasha

For distinct Lagnas, the planets might be benefic or malefic. As a result, the Mahadasha outcome will vary depending on the Lagnas. For instance, we know that Saturn is good for the Aries Lagna while Mercury is favorable for the Virgo Lagna. Furthermore, if any planet is affected, the native will not reap the benefits of the benefic planet. However, if it is placed in a suitable residence with favorable characteristics, it will give the locals all conveniences.

The Surya Mahadasha can propel the native to high heights in his or her work and assist him or her gain reputation and renown. Moon Mahadasha promotes emotional maturity and public honor. The Mars Mahadasha influences the native dynamic, whereas the Rahu Mahadasha aids in achieving worldly achievement. The Jupiter Mahadasha promises wealth and progress. Saturn Mahadasha instills responsibility and perseverance in the native. Mercury Mahadasha improves a person’s speaking and writing abilities. Ketu Mahadasha promotes devotion and wisdom. Venus Mahadasha’s rewards include beauty and charm.

Final Thoughts

Because of the Dashas and Mahadashas in Vedic astrology, everyone experiences the highs and lows of life. A native’s life is stated to work according to the Mahadashas, Antardashas, and Pratyantar Dashas of planets in the birth chart. Our lives circle around the Dasha and Mahadasha, much as the planets revolve around the sun.
