How it works
Your starting dasha is set by the nakshatra your Moon occupied at birth — its ruling planet, and how far through it you were born.
Ketu 7 · Venus 20 · Sun 6 · Moon 10 · Mars 7 · Rahu 18 · Jupiter 16 · Saturn 19 · Mercury 17 — 120 years in all, in a fixed order.
Each maha-dasha divides into antar-dashas, so timing nests from broad seasons down to weeks. We surface the ones running now.
What you get
Every planetary season with its real start and end date — not a vague 'soon'.
The whole 120-year cycle drawn to scale, with today's date dropped onto the timeline.
The running maha-dasha opened to its antar-dashas, so you see the texture of right now.
Each period notes whether its lord is exalted, neutral or debilitated in your chart — strength, not just timing.

Trusted by devotees
My Saturn period made sense the moment I saw the dates. I stopped fighting the season and started working with it.
The ribbon with 'today' marked on it is the clearest astrology graphic I've ever seen.
I planned my business launch around the sub-period that opened. It's been my best year.
Questions
It is the most widely used planetary-timing system in Vedic astrology — a 120-year cycle that gives each of nine planets a fixed span to rule your life in turn, starting from the planet that rules your birth nakshatra.
You are rarely born at the start of a planet's dasha. The 'balance' is how much of that first period remained at birth — we compute it from how far through your birth nakshatra the Moon had travelled.
Yes, ideally. The dasha is anchored to your Moon's nakshatra, which moves about one nakshatra every day — so an accurate time of birth gives accurate period dates.
Sub-periods. Each maha-dasha divides into nine antar-dashas (and those further still), so a 'Jupiter year' has a Saturn sub-period, a Mercury sub-period, and so on — each colouring that stretch.
Yes — the full Vimshottari timeline, ribbon and running sub-periods are free. Only the in-depth cited year-ahead reports are paid.
