Dasa

Dasa system is a very important part of Indian Astrology. Events are timed by the planetary periods called “Dasas” and transits called “Gocharas”.

The Dasa system divides a man’s life into periods, sub-periods, and minor sub-periods, which are characterized by the various planets. Moon is the starting point in life. It is believed by the seers of Hindu Astrology that moon exercised the greatest influence over man’s life.

There are two main varieties of “Dasas, the “ASHTOTTARI DASA” and “VIMSHOTTARI DASA”. Here, we shall deal with the Vimshottari Dasa only, which is more popular and considered to be more correct.
