Vimshottari dasha

Enter your birth details to see the 120-year Vimshottari timeline: each mahadasha (major period) and its antardashas (sub-periods). The timeline starts from the Moon's nakshatra at birth.

How the timeline is built

The nine lords run in a fixed order: Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19 and Mercury 17 years, which total 120. The Moon's sidereal nakshatra gives the first lord. Ashwini starts with Ketu and the lords repeat every nine nakshatras.

At birth you have already used part of that first nakshatra, so only the rest of its dasha is left. That remaining part is shown as the balance.

Within each mahadasha, the antardashas follow the same order, starting with the mahadasha lord. Each lasts (mahadasha years × its own years) ÷ 120.

Limits

This tool shows mahadasha and antardasha only. Pratyantardasha (the next level down) is not shown. Years are 365.25 days. Dates are shown in the UTC offset you entered.

The result depends on the birth time and the ayanamsa you choose. See the birth chart for the Moon position, and the method page for the formulas.
