Vimsottari Dasa

Vimsottari Dasa is the most important Dasa of Vedic astrology.

This Dasa is extensively described in Parasara Hora Shastra and is called the
supreme Dasa of Vedic astrology (together with Kalachakra).

It is a strange fact that some supreme classical texts (Saravali, Brihat Jataka) do
not mention this Dasa at all.

Vimsottari is a Nakshatra Dasa that is based upon the position of the Moon in her
Lunar mansion. Each Nakshatra has a planet (or Node) as its lord. There are in
total 9 lords.

Each of the lords has a fixed period of influence. The total period is of 120
years. Calculation of Dasa balance is described in the chapter above.

The basic rules for this Dasa are given in the next table.

Dasa Lord Duration (Years) Nakshatras


Sun 6 3, 12, 21
Moon 10 4, 13, 22
Mars 7 5, 14, 23
Rahu 18 6, 15, 24
Jupiter 16 7, 16, 25
Saturn 19 8, 17, 26
Mercury 17 9, 18, 27
Ketu 7 1, 10, 19
Venus 20 2, 11, 20
Sum 120
Subperiods
Antardasas are calculated according to the proportional values of the lords.
Antardasas begin with the lord of the major Dasa. Each lord has a propotional time
of influence.

Example: The Moon's Dasa is of 10 years. Each Antardasa contributes the same
proportional value as indicated by the portion of the Mahadasas.

So Moon/Moon will be of 10 * 10/120 years = 10 months.

Moon/Mars will be of 10 * 7/120 years = 0 years 7 months, etc.

Interpretation of Vimsottari Dasa


Each Dasa has several influences

The dignity of the Dasa/Antardasa lords in Rasi chart are of high importance. Their
house positions must be regarded with care.
Navamsa position is important, too. Special aspects of life should be predicted
from other Varga charts (like children from D7, siblings from D3).
The Mahadasa lord becomes Lagna for the time of the Dasa. Antardasas must be
regarded relative to this Lagna.
Friendship and enmity of the Dasa and Antardasa lords are important. So inimical
relation between Dasa and Antardasa lord can be inauspicious even if their house
positions and strengths are good (and vice versa).
Most events happen in appropiate Antardasas. Events indicated by Mahadasas are most
likely to happen in appropiate Antardasas.
The natural character of the Dasa/Antardasa lords is not so important in Vimsottari
Dasa (let's say 15%).
Combination of Dasas is important. So events indicated by Vimsottari will surely
happen if Yogini and Kalachakra Dasas agree.
House and Nakshatra positions of running planets should be regarded, too. So
Gochara and Sarvatobhadra can give valuable hints if (and when) events will come
true.
