There is a wide-spread lack of knowledge, misinformation or a mystery among common people about “Mahadasha”. When an Astrologer says “You are under Chandra Mahadasha” – The response is – “Oh, Am I under some kind of Mahadasha? What is the effect of Mahadasha – when it will be over?”

That is, the word “Mahadasha” is taken with a negative connotation. This article gives you basic information about Mahadasha – Antardasha and their sequence and how a person starts his life with a specific mahadasha.

Mahadasha and Antardasha:

  1. Some or other Mahadasha is always ON for every person at a given point in time.
  2. Each Mahadasha has multiple Antardasha in it of all the planets.
  3. Sequence of Mahadasha for everybody is the same. Just the starting point is different.
  4. There are various types of Mahadasha systems such as
  5. “Winshottari Mahadasha” (The period of 120 years)
  6. “Ashtottari Mahadasha” (Period of 108 years),
  7. “Yogini Mahadasha” etc
  8. Winshottari Mahadasha system is the most commonly used and the most reliable one. Winshottari Mahadasha will be the topic of this article.
  9. By simple calculations it is quite obvious that almost 1/6th people on the face of the Earth are running Shani Mahadasha (19 out of 120 years of Wimshottari Mahadasha are under this one) and a little less than 1/6th are under Raahu (18 years) and Budh (17 years) Mahadasha.
  10. Exactly 1/6th folks are under SHUKRA Mahadasha (20 out of 120).
  11. Winshottari Mahadasha shows a period of 9 Mahadashas which add to 120 years as follows:
  12. Ketu Mahadasha 7 years
  13. Shukra Mahadasha: 20 years
  14. Surya Mahadasha: 6 years
  15. Chandra Mahadasha: 10 years
  16. Mangal Mahadasha: 7 years
  17. Raahu Mahadasha: 18 years
  18. Guru Mahadasha: 16 years
  19. Shani Mahadasha: 19 years
  20. Budh Mahadasha: 17 years
  21. Every Mahadasha has 9 Antardashas
  22. Ketu Mahadasha starts with Ketu Antardasha and the sequence of Antardasha is exactly mentioned as above bulleted list.
  23. Each Antardasha is exactly proportional to its length in 120 years i.e. Shukra Mahadasha is 120:20 i.e. 1/6th. So in Ketu Mahadasha of 7 years, the Shukra Mahadasha would be of 14 months.
  24. Ketu Mahadasha will end with Budh Antardasha
  25. Shukra Mahadasha will start with Shukra Antardasha followed by Surya Antardasha, Chandra Antardasha etc in the SAME sequence as mentioned above, ending with Ketu Mahadasha. Surya Mahadasha is 120:6 i.e. 1/20th. So in Shukra Mahadasha Surya Antardasha would be of 1 year.
