Vimshottari Dasha Table

The Vimshottari system divides a life into planetary periods of fixed length. This computes where yours fall on the calendar. It is a timetable, and the table is the output.

Pre-set for India. Change it only if the place is elsewhere.

How this is calculated

The balance of the opening mahadasha is taken from the moon's elapsed nakshatra portion at birth, then the standard nine-planet sequence and year-lengths are applied forward. Antardashas are divided within each mahadasha by the conventional proportion.

What it cannot tell you

The dates are only as good as the birth time, and the moon moves far enough in an hour to shift the opening balance. Beyond that, knowing that a period runs from one date to another is not the same as knowing what it will contain, and no table can tell you that.

Questions

Asked about this tool

Why does my dasha start before my birth?

Because the periods are measured from the opening balance of a cycle already in progress at birth, not from birth itself. The table shows the remainder of the first period, which is usually less than its full length.

Will a difficult period be difficult?

The table gives dates. Two people moving through the same period can have entirely different experiences of it, and the classical literature is candid about that. Anyone who tells you a dasha determines an event is selling something.

Take the output to someone who can read it

A calculation gives you a starting point. Consultation with Acharya Narinder Vasudeva is where it gets weighed against the site, the plan and the question.
