Calculate your personal Dasha sequence
Vimshottari is a planetary-period system whose starting balance relates to the Moon's position at birth. This page calculates a personal timeline rather than giving the same Mahadasha dates to everyone born in a year.
Expand the timeline in stages
Open a Mahadasha to see its Antardashas, then open an Antardasha to see Pratyantardasha dates. Read the levels together: a sub-period sits within a larger period. The labels and dates describe the calculated schedule, not a guarantee that an event will occur.
Compare dates with matching settings
Differences between reports can come from birth-time corrections, Moon-position boundaries, ayanamsha or period conventions. Keep those settings consistent before comparing dates. Existing planet-specific Mahadasha articles can provide context after you identify the relevant period.
How to use this calculator
- Check the prefilled birth details or select your own saved family profile.
- Enter a known birth time and select the correct birthplace.
- Generate the report. When signed in, your profile and the result save to your account automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Mahadasha and Antardasha?
Mahadasha is a major period; Antardasha is a subdivision within it. This report also provides the next subdivision, Pratyantardasha.
Why does my first period appear partly completed?
The starting balance depends on the Moon's progress through its birth Nakshatra, so the first period need not begin with its full duration remaining.
Does a Dasha date predict a certain event?
No. A timeline is one input to interpretation and should not be treated as a guaranteed event schedule.
