How Dasha Activates Yogas in Vedic Astrology - Timing Your Destiny
You may have the strongest combinations for wealth, career, marriage, or foreign settlement in your birth chart-but nothing manifests until the correct planetary period (Dasha) is activated.
In Vedic astrology, Dasha is the Time Factor. It acts like an ignition key that activates the dormant energies indicated in the birth chart.
A powerful yoga without its dasha is like fertile land without rain-it holds potential but does not bear fruit.
What is Dasha?
Dasha refers to the planetary time cycles that govern life events. The most widely used system is the Vimshottari Dasha, a 120-year cycle where each planet rules a specific number of years.
Vimshottari Dasha Sequence:
| Planet | Dasha Duration (Years) |
|---|---|
| Ketu | 7 |
| Venus | 20 |
| Sun | 6 |
| Moon | 10 |
| Mars | 7 |
| Rahu | 18 |
| Jupiter | 16 |
| Saturn | 19 |
| Mercury | 17 |

Dasha + Transit (Double Activation Effect)
Maximum impact occurs when:
-
Planetary Dasha is active, and
-
Same planet transits over sensitive houses (1, 2, 4, 7, 10, or its own natal placement)
This alignment creates event manifestation windows, where predicted events actually happen.
- Yogas represent potential
- Dasha represents timing
- Transit acts as the trigger signal
To predict accurately, you must analyze Yogas + Dasha + Transit together.
