Your birth details
See the period you are actually in
A Mahadasha is the long chapter of the Vimshottari system. An Antardasha is the shorter chapter inside it. This calculator gives both, with exact start and end dates, so the first answer is clear: what period am I in now, and when does it change?
The timeline below your current pair shows the full 120-year Vimshottari sequence. It is useful for checking a past turning point, understanding the shape of the present, or seeing which major chapter comes next.
Why Dasha dates sometimes differ between sites
A Dasha timeline depends on the Moon’s exact position at birth, your birth time and place, the ayanamsha, and the year-length convention used by the calculator. That is why two sites can sometimes disagree by days. Luna uses the Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri sidereal zodiac, and always shows the exact convention-driven dates rather than hiding them behind a reading.
If your birth time is unknown, Luna uses noon and labels the result accordingly. Your timeline is still a useful starting point, but the closer your birth minute is, the more confidently you can compare boundary dates.

Questions
Dasha timeline questions, answered.
What is my current Dasha?
Enter your birth date, place, and time. Luna returns your current Vimshottari Mahadasha and Antardasha with the date each began and ends.
What is the difference between Mahadasha and Antardasha?
A Mahadasha is the long planetary period in the 120-year Vimshottari cycle. An Antardasha is the shorter sub-period running inside the current Mahadasha.
Why does my Dasha date differ from another calculator?
Different calculators can use different ayanamshas, year lengths, or birth-time assumptions. Luna uses Swiss Ephemeris positions in the Lahiri sidereal zodiac and shows the exact dates it calculates.
Do I need my birth time for a Dasha calculator?
Your date and place establish the core calculation, but the exact birth minute is best for accurate boundary dates. If you do not know it, Luna uses noon and tells you that it did.
Is this a prediction?
No. This tool calculates a traditional timeline from birth data. Use it for reflection and entertainment, not as a substitute for your own decisions or professional advice.
One clear answer is a good place to start.
