Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used Vedic planetary period system, dividing life into 120 years across nine planetary rulers.
The Vimshottari system assigns planetary rulership to life periods totaling 120 years. Period lengths vary: Sun (6), Moon (10), Mars (7), Rahu (18), Jupiter (16), Saturn (19), Mercury (17), Ketu (7), Venus (20). Your birth Nakshatra determines where you begin in this cycle. The system provides remarkably precise timing for life events when combined with transit analysis.
TriAstra uses Vimshottari Dasha as the primary Vedic timing system, calculating your complete Dasha timeline and correlating it with Western transits and Saju luck cycles.
Understanding the Vimshottari system helps you see life's larger rhythm. Each planetary period brings distinct themes—knowing yours helps explain why different decades feel so different.
