Dashas are planetary periods unique to Vedic astrology that divide life into cycles ruled by different planets, with profound predictive power.
The Vimshottari Dasha system divides the 120-year human lifespan into periods ruled by the nine Vedic planets. Your birth Nakshatra determines where you begin in this cycle. Each Mahadasha (major period) lasts 6-20 years and is further divided into sub-periods (Antardashas). The ruling planet of each period strongly colors life experiences—Saturn Dasha brings discipline and delays, Jupiter Dasha brings expansion and luck, and so on.
TriAstra calculates your complete Dasha timeline and correlates it with Western transits and Saju Daeun cycles, showing when multiple systems point to similar life themes.
Knowing your current Dasha helps you understand why certain themes dominate your life now and prepare for upcoming planetary periods with appropriate expectations.
