Understanding your dasha
The full Vimshottari cycle spans 120 years across nine planets, each ruling a fixed span (Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17). The mahadasha sets the theme of a chapter; the sub-period (antardasha) within it colours the details. Reading each lord's house, sign and strength tells you how the period is likely to feel.
