Planetary Mahadahas are the Vedic Astrological time stamps commencing with the planet rulership of the Nakshatra where the moon was residing at the exact location and time of birth.
Each Nakshatra rules a different planet, and we begin our life during one of these time periods which follow a sequence. Noble prize winners of Physics turned to the Vedas; the ancient Vedic texts for unanswered questions of how particles move and interact with time.
This article discusses the convergence of Spirituality and Science; how the Ancient Vedas had an inherent understanding of Quantum theory.
Mahadasha time periods follow the exact same pattern and timing for each of us and make up 120 years in total, however we are all simply born into different stages of the cycle and hence why all experience certain events at different times in our life.
Due to the complexity and multitude of options to mathematically calculate these timelines including the Ayanāṃśa (precession or longitudinal difference between Tropical and Sidereal systems), the argument over which system was most accurate further thwarted the Mahadasha's timeline legitimacy.
The most accurate astrologers however use a multi-form approach; they are the creators of the latest software that blends these systems and have reported close to 95-100% accuracy. These astrologers however aren't in the spotlight nor do they receive the recognition they deserve. Why? Their out of this world abilities serves as a threat to everything we have believed to be true about the story of "Earth".
Societal expectations, whether due to laziness or simply an inability to think both logically and laterally over centuries and lifetimes did not promote this level of historical intelligence, nor its teachings to the masses, and understandably so.
A certain level of intuition, psychic ability and 'sight' only granted to those 'God' or 'the universe' decides to embody these gifts to are able to provide these levels of accuracy, and often after much suffering or near death experiences.
Negative judgement, criticism and condemnation of the 'science of light' was too easy an agenda to push upon the west from those in power who knew the truth and knew how to dull the human mind and body functioning into mundane materialistic and animalistic modes of existence.
Astrologers however do not need to push their agenda.
What would you do if you opened up a chart of the son or daughter of a high profile, highly religious couple and saw that their child's soul is here to experience violence, drug use, multi-form relationships of both sexes, sexual abuse, and medical issues as a result.....? There is a reason why the most accurate Astrologers receive the 'sight' they have - they know when and how to read, when to provide spiritual guidance, and most importantly - when to keep quiet.
Mahadasha (Major), Antar-Dasha (Sub) and Pratyantar (sub-sub) time periods are crucial in determining where and when universal energy will force will direct us at every stage of life.
This is how we calculate major change and events.
Depending on the placement and dignity of the planets within your chart, the planet ruling your current Mahadasha period will bring these 'energies to life’ despite what your overall birth chart reads and what transits are occurring.
No transit will guarantee any prediction without support of the Mahadasha time period.
These time periods change our consciousness and bring events that will force us to concentrate and deal with specific Karmas. This is why certain events happen to us at different stages in life.
If you think you generated a thought, or created something from an idea in reading a book that changed your mindset and consequently your life, it is in fact the Mahadasha and Transit period that will have triggered this event in our minds to pick up the book at the exact moment planned.
This leads to the most fun question.....can we outsmart the planets? Some have gone to extreme measures to prove Astrology wrong, though most Astrologers would simply laugh at the prospect of outrunning ones Karma.
WHAT TO EXPECT
There are over 30 Dasha systems that a Vedic Astrologer can use. With one of the most popular system being the Vimshottari Dasha system.
NOTE: For each planetary time period a person is running, divide the total time of that time period into 3, and themes of the 3 planet ruling Nakshatras (depending on their placement in ones chart) will be felt. You begin with the first Nakshatra closest to the moon.
