Frequently asked questions
What is a Dasha?
A Dasha is a planetary period. In the Vimshottari system each of nine planets rules a stretch of years, and the sub-periods (Antardasha) within them refine the timing of events.
How is my Dasha calculated?
It is calculated from the exact position of your natal Moon within its nakshatra, which decides how much of the first Mahadasha had already elapsed at birth.
Can a Dasha predict exactly what will happen?
No. Dashas indicate which themes are active in a period. AstroHood frames them as interpretive guidance, not guaranteed predictions.
