Vimshottari Dasha calculator — your Mahadasha and Antardasha timeline
Vimshottari Dasha is the 120-year planetary period system at the heart of Vedic prediction. Your starting Mahadasha is set by the Moon's Nakshatra at birth; from there each graha rules a fixed span of years.

Why does birth time matter for dasha?
The Moon moves about 13° a day, so the exact birth time fixes how much of the first Nakshatra's dasha remained at birth — shifting every later period's dates.
