Vimshottari Dasha means the period of time. The period of time is governed by fixed planets. Vimshottari Dasha is based on the moon constellation. Because of this, its prediction is considered to be the most accurate. Vimshottari Dasha is called Mahadasha.

Vimshottari Dasha Periods

In ancient times, the age of man was considered to be 120 years, but gradually the age of man kept on decreasing and in today's time the age of man has increased from 50 to 80 years. In this method, all nine planets are given a specific time period. There is a complete cycle of 120 years for the Mahadasha of all nine planets. This chakra is divided into 9 parts. According to astrology, each and every part is ruled by some or the other planet.

Vimshottari Mahadasha

Vimshottari Mahadasha lasts for a long time. Other Dashas like Antardasha last for a few months to two to three years whereas the Pratyantara Dasha lasts for a few days to a few months only. The Mahadasha and Antardasha of the planets come from time to time in the Kundali of the person.

How to Calculate Mahadasha

A special type of chart is given and a rule is used to calculate the Mahadasha. According to this rule, three nakshatras are allotted to each planet i.e. with nine planets there are 27 nakshatras. Different constellations are determined on different planets. Nakshatras determine the Mahadasha of some planets at the time of birth. The duration of Dasha in a Nakshatra also depends on the location of the Moon. If the Moon enters any Nakshatra at the time of birth, then the Mahadasha of the ruling planet of the Nakshatra will be attained.

Vishtottari Dasha Effects

A rule has been given to determine the result of Vimshottari Dasha. According to that rule, some planets are naturally auspicious according to the ascendant. For example, Saturn is auspicious for Aries ascendant, Saturn for Taurus ascendant, Mercury for Virgo ascendant, and Mars is auspicious for Cancer ascendant. Even after the planets are naturally auspicious for the Ascendant, it is important to keep in mind how strong and how weak the planet is in Kundali. If that planet is debilitated, it gives inauspicious results even after being auspicious.

Saturn, Mars, and Sun are considered to be malefic planets, but if it is the lord of the Kendra houses, then their Dasha-Antardasha can also benefit, that is why astrology has considered the Kendra houses to be very important.
