Vimshottari Dasha — Your 120-Year Life Period Map

The Vimshottari Dasha system is the most widely used predictive tool in Vedic astrology. It divides a person's life into 120 years (Vimshottari = 120), governed sequentially by the nine Navagraha planets. Each planet's Mahadasha (major period) brings its unique themes, opportunities, and challenges:

• Ketu: 7 years — Spiritual awakening, detachment, past-life karma • Shukra (Venus): 20 years — Love, luxury, creativity, material prosperity • Surya (Sun): 6 years — Authority, recognition, government, father • Chandra (Moon): 10 years — Emotions, mother, public life, nurturing • Mangal (Mars): 7 years — Energy, property, courage, competition • Rahu: 18 years — Foreign connections, technology, unconventional paths • Guru (Jupiter): 16 years — Wisdom, children, education, expansion • Shani (Saturn): 19 years — Discipline, career, karma, slow steady growth • Budha (Mercury): 17 years — Communication, business, intellect, trade

Your Mahadasha is determined by the Nakshatra (birth star) of your Moon at the time of birth. Our Free Kundli Generator automatically calculates your complete Vimshottari Dasha timeline showing:
