Dasha Calculator

Understanding Your Dasha Calculations

This tool provides insights into your astrological timings through Maha Dasha, Antar Dasha, and Pratyantar Dasha calculations. Here's a breakdown of each:

1. Maha Dasha Calculation (Life Period Cycles)

• Foundation: Your date of birth determines the starting point of your Maha Dasha cycles.

• Process:

  • The day of your birth (DD) is reduced to a single digit. For example, if you were born on the 6th, 06 becomes 0 + 6 = 6.

  • This single digit corresponds to a planet and its associated Maha Dasha period (in years). In our example, 6 represents Venus, with a 6-year Maha Dasha.

  • The calculation then progresses, adding the corresponding planetary year to the previous cycle's end year, and so on.

  • Example (DOB: 06-01-1976):

    • 06-01-1976 to 05-01-1982 (6 = Venus Maha Dasha, 6 years)

    • 06-01-1982 to 05-01-1989 (7 = Ketu Maha Dasha, 7 years)

    • 06-01-1989 to 05-01-1997 (8 = Saturn Maha Dasha, 8 years)

  • Maha Dasha Planetary Years:

    • 1 = Sun (1 year)

    • 2 = Moon (2 years)

    • 3 = Jupiter (3 years)

    • 4 = Rahu (4 years)

    • 5 = Mercury (5 years)

    • 6 = Venus (6 years)

    • 7 = Ketu (7 years)

    • 8 = Saturn (8 years)

    • 9 = Mars (9 years)

• Result: This calculation provides a timeline of your major life periods, each governed by a specific planet.

2. Antar Dasha Calculation (Sub-Periods)

• Foundation: This calculation uses your date of birth (DD-MM) and a specific year (either a provided year or the current year).

• Process:

  • The birthday of the specified year is considered. For example, for a DOB of 06-01-xx76 and the year xx25, the birthday is 06-01-xx25. (xx not include for counting)

  • The day of the week of the current year birthday is found.

  • The day of the week number is added to the total of the current year birthday numbers.

  • This is then reduced to a single digit, revealing the first Antar Dasha number.

  • Example: 06-01-xx25 (Monday = 2) = 0 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 16 = 7 (Ketu)

  • Each Antar Dasha period lasts for one year.

  • Example:

    • 06-01-2025 to 05-01-2026 (7 = Ketu Antar Dasha)

    • 06-01-2026 to 05-01-2027 (8 = Saturn Antar Dasha)

    • 06-01-2027 to 05-01-2028 (9 = Mars Antar Dasha)

• Planetary Day Numbers:

  • 1 = Sun (Sunday)

  • 2 = Moon (Monday)

  • 3 = Jupiter (Thursday)

  • 4 = Rahu (-)

  • 5 = Mercury (Wednesday)

  • 6 = Venus (Friday)

  • 7 = Ketu (-)

  • 8 = Saturn (Saturday)

  • 9 = Mars (Tuesday)

• Antar Dasha Planetary Years:

  • 1 = Sun (1 year)

  • 2 = Moon (1 years)

  • 3 = Jupiter (1 years)

  • 4 = Rahu (1 years)

  • 5 = Mercury (1 years)

  • 6 = Venus (1 years)

  • 7 = Ketu (1 years)

  • 8 = Saturn (1 years)

  • 9 = Mars (1 years)

• Planetary Year for Antar Dasha: Each planet is assigned one year for the Antar Dasha.

• Result: This calculation provides a timeline of sub-periods within a Maha Dasha.

3. Pratyantar Dasha Calculation (Sub-Sub-Periods)

• Foundation: This calculation uses the first Antar Dasha number.

• Process:

  • The first Antar Dasha number becomes the starting point.

  • Each planet is assigned a specific number of days for its Pratyantar Dasha.

  • Example:

    • If the first Antar Dasha number is 7 (Ketu), then the first Pratyantar Dasha is Ketu.

  • Example:

    • 06-01-2025 to 03-03-2025 (7 = Ketu Pratyantar Dasha)

    • 04-03-2025 to 07-05-2025 (8 = Saturn Pratyantar Dasha)

    • 08-05-2025 to 19-07-2025 (9 = Mars Pratyantar Dasha)

• Pratyantar Dasha Planetary Days:

  • 1 = Sun (8 days)

  • 2 = Moon (16 days)

  • 3 = Jupiter (24 days)

  • 4 = Rahu (32 days)

  • 5 = Mercury (40 days)

  • 6 = Venus (48 days)

  • 7 = Ketu (56 days)

  • 8 = Saturn (64 days)

  • 9 = Mars (72 days)

• Result: This calculation provides a more detailed timeline of sub-sub-periods within an Antar Dasha.
