Timing & predictions · computed with the Swiss Ephemeris
Current Dasha Calculator
All five Vimshottari levels running right now — decade to hours — plus the full timeline.
Your current Mahadasha is the major Vimshottari planetary period you are running now, fixed by the exact longitude of the Moon at birth; the Antardasha, Pratyantardasha, Sookshma and Prana are its nested sub-periods, each dividing the one above it among the same nine lords. This calculator computes the balance of your first dasha from your Moon's nakshatra, then lays out the full 120-year timeline with dates and every one of your five running levels — from real ephemeris positions, not your Sun sign.
Vimshottari Dasha divides your life into planetary periods set by the Moon's nakshatra at birth. Each period subdivides the same way, five levels deep: Mahadasha (years), Antardasha (months), Pratyantardasha (weeks), Sookshma (days) and Prana (hours). This tool shows the full Mahadasha timeline with dates, breaks down the Antardashas of your running period, and names all five levels you are in at this moment.

- Computed against the clock right now, not frozen when your chart was made
- A grounded reading of the current period
All 27 nakshatras, with exact spans and lords
Each nakshatra is 13°20' of the sidereal zodiac. The ruling lord is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha sequence — which is why the nakshatra your Moon occupies decides your entire dasha timeline.

Frequently asked
What is a Mahadasha?
A major planetary period in the Vimshottari system. The whole cycle spans 120 years, and your starting point is fixed by the Moon's nakshatra at birth.
How is the current dasha calculated?
From the exact longitude of the Moon at birth, which sets the balance of the first dasha. Every subsequent period follows the fixed Vimshottari sequence and durations.
What are Sookshma and Prana dasha?
The fourth and fifth levels. Every Vimshottari period divides among the same nine lords in the same proportions, so a Pratyantardasha of weeks contains Sookshma periods of days, and each of those contains Prana periods of hours. Prana is the finest level in the system — useful for the texture of a single day, not for long-range questions.
