Vimshottari Dasha System - Complete Guide
The Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used planetary period system in Vedic Astrology. "Vimshottari" means 120 years, representing the total duration of all planetary periods combined. This system is based on the Nakshatra (lunar mansion) occupied by the Moon at birth.
