Harnessing the Stars: Navigating Life Transitions with Astrology
In a human's life, according to Vedic astrology, there are three vital things that are responsible for an event to take place. One of the aspects of an event to take place in astrology is "Dasha". There are different planets which are responsible for influencing different aspects of our life. There is a perceived lifetime of an individual which is counted in 120 years. Every single planet has been assigned a specific amount of time in an individual's life. Everyone in our life is divided in Mahadasha into 9 planets and these further divided into 9 Antardashas each. The following sequence is followed by Mahadasha - Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Mars, Moon, Sun, Venus, Ketu. The lord of Nakshatra initiates Mahadasha, at the place where Moon is positioned at the place and time of birth. If you want to know the duration of Mahadasha exactly, you need to determine the degree of Nakshatra at the time of your birth.
The time periods of various Mahadashas are:
Ketu Mahadasha- 7 years
Venus Mahadasha- 20 years
Sun Mahadasha- 6 years
