The 120-Year Sequence of Time
Vimshottari (from Vimshottara Shata, meaning 120) is the crown jewel of Vedic predictive astrology. Each person is born into an active Mahadasha determined by their natal Moon's exact degree within its Nakshatra.
The sequence and duration of the nine planetary Mahadashas are:
- Ketu: 7 Years
- Venus (Shukra): 20 Years
- Sun (Surya): 6 Years
- Moon (Chandra): 10 Years
- Mars (Mangal): 7 Years
- Rahu: 18 Years
- Jupiter (Guru): 16 Years
- Saturn (Shani): 19 Years
- Mercury (Budh): 17 Years
