Rahu mahadasha
18 years
Rahu's mahadasha is a time of ambition and new roads. The pull towards foreign lands, technology and unconventional fields grows; sudden opportunities are the mark of this period. Seeing the reality behind the glitter is this period's art — where good judgement stays with you, this dasha can bring big changes.
