What is Mahadasha ?


The most important thing to see in the birth chart is  mahadasha of a planet because mahadasha of a planet determine the events that will occur in a certain period of time in a individuals life.

In Vedic Astrology, different planets influence us at different points of time in our life. The perceived life span of an person is counted as 120 years in total. Each planet is assigned certain number of years in one’s life. Our life is divided into Mahadasha of 9 planets and each Mahadasha is then further divided into 9 Antardasas each. The Mahadashas follow in the following sequence - Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury. Mahadasha begins from the lord of the Nakshatra where is Moon positioned at the time of birth. The exact duration of the first Mahadasa depends upon the degree of the Nakshatra when you were born. For example if you are born under the Nakshatra of Anuradha your first mahadasha will be of Saturn.

Ketu Mahadasha 7 years, Venus has 20 years, Sun has 6 years, moon has 10 years, Mars has 7 years, Rahu has 18 years, Jupiter has 16 years, Saturn has 19 years, and Mercury has 17 years.  

Whether the Mahadasha is auspicious or inauspicious for you depends upon several factors like position of that planet in your birth chart, whether it’s malefic or benefic. For Example if your under sun mahadasha you can expect government jobs and authoritative position but it should be in Kendra or Trikona otherwise if Sun is placed badly in your birth chart it  give all malefic results related to sun.
