Is your Dasha actually running on time?

I've been looking at my clients' charts lately and I’m hitting a wall with Vimshottari Dasha.

We love to blame the major period for everything that goes wrong. But are we giving enough credit to the Dasha Sandhi?

Most people ignore the friction that happens at the transition point between two planets. It's not just a clean switch. It's a messy, overlapping period where the old energy hasn't quite left and the new one isn't fully in charge yet.

I’m curious—when you look at a client's life, do you focus on the exact date the Mahadasha shifts, or do you leave a buffer zone of a few months?

I’ve found that the transition phase often causes more chaos than the actual Dasha start. If you're tracking these shifts for yourself, using the VedKal tool helps keep the specific Panchang timing clear so you don't miss the exact moment the shift begins.

Does the Dasha override the transit, or are we just picking the timing that fits our current mood?

Let’s be real about the math.

How much weight do you actually put on the Antardasha?

I’m tired of seeing people obsess over the big periods while missing the tiny, biting triggers happening in the sub-periods.
