When we consider the guidance of Vedic Astrology, and think of the planetary impacts, no matter good or bad, mostly we consider the Moon Sign, Ascendant, House number, and more. However, the maximum time, which we ignore, is the Mahadasha (The Main period) and Antardasha (which is called Bhukti). So, in this Astro-piece, shared by one of the best astrologers in West Bengal, Astrologer Sourav Chatterjee (Roy), we will explore how Mahadasha and Antardasha impact our lives in the long run.
What Are Mahadasha and Antardasha?
Mahadasha and Antardasha are two important parts of Vedic Astrology. They are decoded through the Vimshottari Dasha System. This system uses Moon’s nakshatra to determine the Mahadasha of a native born with. The total Vimshottari dasha consists of 120 years of the cycle, ruled by different planets for specific years. The years are fixed according to the ruling planet. Here, Antardasha indicates sub-periods within a Mahadasha. Here is the chart for your reference.
- Ketu Mahadasha – 7 years
- Venus Mahadasha – 20 years
- Sun Mahadasha – 6 years
- Moon Mahadasha – 10 years
- Mars Mahadasha – 7 years
- Rahu Mahadasha – 18 years
- Jupiter Mahadasha – 16 years
- Saturn Mahadasha – 19 years
- Mercury Mahadasha – 17 years
This sequence remains the same, and it is also followed in the Antardasha, no matter which planet’s Mahadasha it is. However, a new Mahadasha begins; it starts with the same Antardasha, and the sequence goes on. For example, if a Mercury Mahadasha is about to start, it will start with Mercury Mahadasha-Mercury Antardasha. Then, the sequence will be followed.
How Mahadasha and Antardasha Work?
The Mahadasha and the Antardasha will provide results according to the strength of planets in your chart and their positions. Besides, the benefic planets, like Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter, mostly offer good results during their Mahadasha and Antardasha. Though the result can vary according to the house they rule in a chart. Let’s break down the whole system to understand it with more clarity.
- If a native runs through the Mahadasha of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th house, the native usually gets auspicious results.
- When a native undergoes the Mahadasha of the house, such as the 1st, 5th, or 9th house lord, he receives good results.
- The planets which are placed in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, and 12th, and the native undergoes one of the dashas connected to these planets, the dasha makes the native suffer respectively in the house it owns.
- The 11th house is a house of gain. But it is a functional malefic house. According to the Bhavat Bhabham theory, this house is 6th from the 6th house. Thus, it brings hidden enemies and competition following high gains and prosperity.
No matter who or where you are, if you want to know how your planets function right now, you need to understand the Mahadasha first, and next the Antardasha. And, here Astrologer Sourav, the best astrologer in West Bengal, has tried to provide you with glimpses of the same.

In general, the Mahadasha of malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, and Mars brings troubles to natives. Whether these planets are in the auspicious houses in a chart, they make the native suffer. On the contrary, when the benefic planets are in the malefic house, during their Mahadasha, they try to save natives from suffering. This is the beauty of Vedic Astrology, and only believers can experience it. The reason why one of the learned astrologers in West Bengal, Astrologer Sourav Chatterjee (Roy), shares his knowledge and explains through his blog posts that people can uncover the real genius of astrology and incur the benefit with astrological readings.
