Vimshottari Dasha System in KP Astrology Explained
The Vimshottari Dasha system explained: the 120-year cycle, the nine planet periods, how the Moon's nakshatra sets your start, and how KP times events.
Vimshottari Dasha is the timing engine of KP astrology. Where Western astrology relies on transits, KP runs five layered dasha periods — Maha, Antar, Pratyantar, Sookshma, and Praana — to narrow event timing from "this year" all the way down to "this week." These guides explain each level, how to chain them with the significator hierarchy, and how to read dasha-bhukti tables for specific predictions.
