Dasha and Transit Analysis

Dasha is Jyotish's timeline system. It divides life into planetary periods that are believed to colour different phases. Transit (gochar) looks at where planets are in the sky now, compared with your birth chart. A good reading uses both together.

Who it is for

• People who want to understand the phase they are in
• Anyone who has heard "your Shani dasha is running" and wants to know what that means
• Those planning a major step and wanting to understand the timing in their chart

What the consultation covers

• Your running Mahadasha, Antardasha and Pratyantardasha
• The nature of the dasha lord in your chart: placement, house rulership, strength
• Important upcoming dasha changes
• Current transits of key planets, including Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu, over your chart
• Where the two indications agree and where they conflict

For Saturn's specific long cycles, see Sade Sati and Dhaiya.

How it works

The most common system is the 120-year Vimshottari dasha, based on the Moon's nakshatra at birth. Each planet rules a period. Within it are sub-periods. Transits are layered on top.

What to provide

Birth date, time and place. Mention any decision or time window you have in mind.

What you receive

A clear timeline of phases, with a plain-language explanation of the traditional themes of each.

Benefits and limitations

Helpful for: understanding why a phase may feel a certain way, and thinking about readiness. Limits: A dasha describes tendencies, not outcomes. No dasha makes a result certain.
