Introduction to the Mahadasa system and Tripagi division in Vedic astrology.
The Mahadasa system in Vedic astrology is a method used to understand the significant periods of
influence of each planet in an individual's life. It is based on the Vimshottari Dasha system,
which is one of the most widely used methods in predictive astrology. Here are the basic principles
and structure. Mahadasa, major period. The Mahadasa is the primary period of influence of a planet in
a person's life. Each planet has a specific duration, during which it significantly influences
the native's experiences, opportunities, challenges, and overall life direction.
Two, Antardasha sub-period. Within each Mahadasa, there are sub-periods known as Antardasha.
Each Antardasha is ruled by the same planet as the Mahadasa, but combined with the influence of
other planets in a cyclic order. The duration of Antardasha is proportional to the duration of the
Mahadasa. Three, Pratyantardasha sub-period. Each Antardasha is further divided into smaller
sub-periods called Pratyantardasha. These represent even more precise periods where the influence of
different planets manifests in conjunction with the Antardasha planet. Four, periods of each
planet in Vimshottari Dasha in years. One, Ketu, seven years. Bring spiritual growth,
sudden changes, detachment, health issues. Two, Venus, 20 years. Focus on relationships,
luxury, comfort, creativity, financial gains. Three, Sun, six years. Focus on authority,

Nuz 6, calculation and activation. The Mahadasha sequence begins at the time of birth and is
determined by the position of the Moon in a specific nakshatra. The nakshatra lord determines
which planets Mahadasha will be active at birth and the sequence of the Mahadashas follows a set
pattern. This system is used to analyze the timing of various events in a person's life
and to understand the planetary influences during specific periods. Each Mahadasha,
Antardasha and Pratyardasha period brings a blend of planetary influences,
reflecting their combined effects on the individual's life.
Half-Tribhagi or the Three-Division System in Vedic Astrology. The Tribhagi or the Three-Division
System is a nuanced approach to understanding the specific energies and experiences one might go
through during a particular Mahadasha, Antardasha or Pratyantardasha. This system divides the duration
of a dasha into three equal parts and correlates each part to the qualities of the three nakshatras
governed by the same planet. Principles of the Tribhagi System. One, division into three parts.
Each dasha period is divided into three equal parts corresponding to the three nakshatras
ruled by the same planet. For example, if the Mahadasha is of Ketu, it is divided into three
parts corresponding to Ketu's nakshatras, Ashwini, Maga and Mula. Two, influence of nakshatra energies.
The first part of the dasha will reflect the qualities and energies of the first nakshatra
under that planet's lordship. The second part will reflect the qualities of the second nakshatra.
The third part will reflect the qualities of the third nakshatra.
Three, Moon's placement and energies. The energy experienced during the dasha can also depend
on the specific nakshatra where the moon is placed at the time of birth. The energies of the dasha get
refined based on this initial nakshatra placement, emphasizing the characteristics of that nakshatra
in each part of the dasha. Example, Ketu Mahadasha in the Tribhagi System. If a person is born in a
Ketu nakshatra like Maga nakshatra during Ketu Mahadasha, one, first part, Ashwini-like energies,
