How to Read This Mahadasha

Mahadasha shows the main timing current of life, but results are not decided by the Mahadasha lord's name alone. Check the planet's sign, house, aspects, conjunctions, strength, nakshatra and house ownership in the birth chart. Then add its relationship with the Antardasha lord.

Antardasha sharpens the subject opened by the Mahadasha. Supportive results become clearer when both planets help the chart and transits strengthen the same area. Difficult results increase when the dasha lord is weak, afflicted or connected with challenging houses.

For dates, marriage, job, children, money or health decisions, personal birth details are required. This page explains the system, meaning and cautions; exact start-end dates, dasha balance and remedies must come from the birth time.
