The Vimshottari Dasha system (VMDS), a cornerstone of Vedic astrology, is a powerful predictive tool that divides the entire lifespan into planetary periods (Dashas). It's based on the Moon's Nakshatra at the time of birth. These major planetary periods are further subdivided into smaller periods, creating a layered system of prediction. There are typically five levels (or even more, theoretically) that are commonly analyzed for precise timing of events.
The difference between Indian (Vedic) and Western astronomical concepts as per Astrology lies primarily in their celestial frame of reference and the systems they use for measuring planetary positions and time. Here's a breakdown of the key distinctions:
