what is vimshottari dasha?

Vimshottari Dasha is the 120-year planetary period system used in Vedic astrology. Your birth nakshatra determines which planet rules your first period — and the sequence cycles through all 9 grahas (planets), each for a fixed number of years.

The major period (mahadasha) sets the broad theme. Within it, the sub-period (antardasha) adds nuance — a Saturn mahadasha with a Jupiter antardasha reads very differently from Saturn-Saturn.
