Questions about daśās & timing
What is a dasha?
In Vedic astrology a dasha is a planetary period — a stretch of life coloured by one planet. The Vimshottari system runs a 120-year cycle of nine periods (mahadashas), each divided into sub-periods (antardashas), starting from the Moon's position at birth.
How is my dasha timeline calculated?
From the exact position of the Moon in its birth star (nakshatra): how far it had travelled through that star sets how much of the first period remained at birth. Ayana computes every period and sub-period with exact start and end dates.
What does the transit wheel show?
Where the planets are now (or on any date you choose) laid over your birth chart, so you can see which areas of life current movements are touching.
