What is Mahadasha?
A Mahadasha is the major planetary period, lasting from 6 to 20 years. The ruling planet becomes the dominant overarching influence in your life.
What is Antardasha?
Every Mahadasha is divided into nine sub-periods called Antardashas. They narrow down the broader themes into more specific, actionable events.
How is Dasha calculated?
The starting point is calculated based on the precise position of the Moon at your exact time of birth and its Nakshatra.
