What is Mahadasha?
In Vedic astrology, Mahadasha is a major planetary period spanning several years. The 120-year Vimshottari system is most popular. Each planet (Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus) rules a specific number of years.
How is Mahadasha calculated?
Your mahadasha calculator uses the Moon’s nakshatra (constellation) at birth. The balance of the ruling planet’s dasha is determined by the remaining degrees in that nakshatra. Our tool follows classical Vimshottari dasha formula updated for 2026.
