Mahadasha: The Potential Game-Changer for Your Life's Dasha

Mahadasha: The Potential Game-Changer for Your Life's Dasha

According to Vedic astrology, each individual is impacted by the position of the planet in the solar system. A planet rules a particular time frame in an individual’s life. This phase is called Vimshottari Mahadasha. There are 9 planets as per astrology, and each of these 9 planets will have its own Mahadasha, and each Mahadasha is further divided into 9 Antardasha. An individual’s lifespan is counted as 120 years. So it is unlikely that one will have a repeated Mahadasha for a certain planet. The sequence of Mahadasha is in the following order starting from Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and ending with Mercury. The exact duration of the first Mahadasha will depend on the degree of the native’s nakshatra.

Mahadasha follows a calendar pattern. The impact of Mahadasha can be good or bad depending on several factors like the position of the planet, birth chart, on which house the planet resides and whether the planet itself is malefic or benefic. Mahadasha generally runs for years, but the impact of the Mahadasha is decided by the conjunction of other planets as well. However, the actual results depend on the effect of Antardasha. The sequence of Antardasha is also similar to that of Mahadasha.


Types Of Mahadasha:

Sun Mahadasha:

It rules for 6 years. If the sun is beneficial for the lagna and placed in the Kendra or 11th house, then the native will gain wealth from the government. He will enjoy a lot of happiness, prosperity and comfort. There will be benefits from sun-related articles or objects. This is the time to get a promotion, birth of son, vehicles, power, authority. The relationship from the paternal side will be fruitful. However, a weak sun will cause miseries. There will be a loss of wealth and property. The person will lack confidence; there will be sun-related illness, demotion and loss of reputation. The relationship with the father will decline. One can perform Surya Dosh Nivaran puja to reduce the malefic effect of Sun Mahadasha.

Moon Mahadasha:

It runs for 10 years. The Benefic Moon will give native prosperity. Moon is strong when it is placed in the Kendra or in the 11th house. Moon is a feminine character, and the person is likely to gain wealth from female or moon-related articles. Individuals can conduct any auspicious ceremony, gain vehicles; he might see the birth of a son and goddess Laxmi will shower blessings. The person will have mental peace, and the relationship on the mother’s side will be good.

However, a weak malefic moon can give the opposite result. It will give rise to mental fatigue, depression, loss of wealth and property. The relationship on the mother’s side also declines. The conjunction of Rahu-Moon will add to the woes of the native, and the situation will take a turn for the worse. To reduce the effect of Moon Mahadasha, one should chant the Chandra mantra 108 times daily, wear a silver ring with 5-carat pearl on Monday or offer bilva patra and milk to lord Shiva every Monday.

Mars Mahadasha:

The lifespan of Mars Mahadasha runs for 7 years. Strong Mars placed in Kendra or 3, 6, 10 or 11th house gives favourable results. The person is likely to gain land, wealth, and bestow with a high position. The relationship with siblings will improve, and one can see a gain in jewellery. Enemies will not be able to win over you. The person will be courageous and brave.

Weak Mars, however, can result in accidents, physical injuries, rise in disease related to blood. There will be a conflict with the wife.

In fiery sign, it will cause dancers to fire, electric shock, burns, while watery sign will have danger from drowning. There will be clashes of ego between siblings. One can wear red coral on Tuesday or wear trimukhi rudraksha on the neck to reduce the malefic effect of Mars Mahadasha.

There will be an increase in the intellect, and a person will have mental peace and happiness.
Malefic Mercury will give mental illness, restlessness and skin problems. There will be loss of wealth and disease related to the Urinary tract. The dasha shows bad results if the Mercury lands in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. Feeding cows with green vegetables or donating green clothes to relatives can reduce the malefic effect of Mercury.
