Mahadasha is a major planetary period lasting 6-20 years that colors all life experiences according to the ruling planet's nature.
Each Mahadasha brings the themes of its ruling planet to the forefront of life. Sun Mahadasha (6 years) emphasizes identity and authority. Moon Mahadasha (10 years) highlights emotions and nurturing. Mars Mahadasha (7 years) activates action and conflict. The effects depend on how that planet is placed in your birth chart—a well-placed planet brings its positive qualities, while a challenged planet may require working through its difficult expressions.
TriAstra identifies your current Mahadasha and its sub-periods, interpreting them based on that planet's natal position and comparing with similar timing cycles in the other two systems.
Understanding your Mahadasha helps you align expectations with cosmic timing—knowing when to push forward aggressively versus when to focus on inner development.
Understanding Mahadasha (Major Period) is just the beginning. See how it manifests in your unique birth chart with TriAstra's triple-system analysis.
