पिसानो-सम्बन्धम्Pisano companions
The 120-year Vimśottarī period (P32) is one face of a four-fold Pisano lock that holds across both poles of the substrate. The Diti-pole companion is P241 (Pisano-of-Ideal Identity · π_(3)(3ᵏ) = π(3ᵏ⁻¹)) — a ratio-3 fold on the ideal side that mirrors the ratio-4 fold on the unit side. The saptamukhi witnesses are V1 (Pisano-Ψ ratio = 4) for the Aditi-pole and AV1 (Pisano-of-Ideal = 3) for the Diti-pole. Daśā periodicity is what the substrate certifies; the jyotiṣī interprets.

A 36-year tithi-seeded cycle measuring the quality of time. Nine grahas share 36 years; pairs of grahas with similar tonality are grouped (Maṅgala–Sūrya as fire-tribe, Śani–Śukra as quench-tribe). Used in muhūrta-style timing of crisis windows.

Sudarśana-cakra-daśā · triple 12-yr wheel
A triple-wheel annual transit indicator: three concurrent 12-year cakras seated at Lagna, Sūrya, and Candra. The running year (age mod 12) selects one rāśi from each seat; the three signs together form the praśna-tone for the year.

The cycle then walks 12 rāśis savya or apasavya by the seed's quality, with years per rāśi given by the count-to-lord rule (same as Nārāyaṇa-daśā).

Years per rāśi follow the Chara count-to- lord rule. Reads the chart's "non-linear" karma-paths — discontinuous unfoldings that skip neighbours.

DAŚĀ-SANDHI-KĀLAḤ · The 10-day Transition Windows
दशा-सन्धि-कालः · सङ्क्रमण-वातायनम्Liminal junctions between major daśās — the 10-day energetic crossover
विंशोत्तरी-सन्धयः
Vimśottarī sandhi — eight critical junctions
At each daśā-handover the closing mahā's final ≈ 10 days and the opening mahā's first ≈ 10 days fuse into a sandhi-kāla — roughly the last and first one-third of one antara-of-the-closing and antara-of-the-opening lord. Sandhi windows are when karma transposes keys: outcomes flicker between the two tonalities.

| शुक्रŚukra | सूर्यSūrya | Pleasure recedes; will and authority sharpen — public stage opens |
| सूर्यSūrya | चन्द्रCandra | Solar drive softens to lunar feeling — emotional re-anchoring |
| चन्द्रCandra | मङ्गलMaṅgala | Mind hardens to action — conflict and surgery windows |

| शनिŚani | बुधBudha | Discipline becomes intellect — communication and commerce rebound |
| बुधBudha | केतुKetu | Networks dissolve into renunciation — closure of a 120-year arc |
Rule of thumb: avoid new initiations within ±10 days of any mahā-daśā switch; treat the sandhi as a settling-room, not a runway.

PAÑCA-STARA-DAŚĀ · The Five-Level Decomposition

विंशोत्तरी-पञ्च-स्तर
Vimśottarī · pañca-stara cascade
Every mahā-daśā fractally subdivides into nine antaras; each antara into nine pratyantaras; each pratyantara into nine sūkṣmas; each sūkṣma into nine prāṇas. The cascade preserves the original 9-fold proportion so that each lord rules every other lord at every level within its share. The mathematics: 9⁴ = 6,561 prāṇas per mahā; for the longest Vimśottarī mahā (Śukra · 20y) one prāṇa ≈ 26.7 hours; for the shortest (Sūrya · 6y) one prāṇa ≈ 8 hours.

Vimshottari Dasha · Common Questionsदशा-प्रश्नाः
- What is Vimshottari Dasha?
- Vimśottarī Daśā is the most widely used Vedic planetary time-cycle system, codified in BPHS Ch. 46. Nine planetary lords share a 120-year cycle in fixed proportion. The cycle is seeded from the Moon's nakṣatra at birth — specifically the fraction of that nakṣatra already traversed at the moment of birth.
- How do I calculate my current Mahadasha and Antardasha?
- To find your current mahā-daśā: cast your birth chart (available free at /chart), note the Moon's janma nakṣatra, and identify which planetary lord governs that nakṣatra. The fraction of the nakṣatra traversed at birth determines how much of that lord's period has elapsed. Our engine shows the running daśā balance automatically.
- What are Mahadasha and Antardasha?
- Mahā-daśā is the major planetary period (lasting 6–20 years). Within each mahā-daśā, nine sequential antar-daśā (sub-periods) subdivide the time — each lasting from a few months to a few years. Further levels are pratyantar-daśā, sūkṣma-daśā, and prāṇa-daśā. All five levels are computable from the birth chart.
- Which dasha is considered good for marriage in Vedic astrology?
- Classical Jyotiṣa identifies Venus (Śukra) mahā-daśā and Moon (Candra) mahā-daśā as often favorable for marriage-related developments, since both govern relationships and emotional life. However, the actual assessment requires reading the 7th house, its lord, Navāṃśa, and the running antar-daśā — not the mahā-daśā alone.
