Shani (Saturn) mahadasha

19 years

Shani's mahadasha is a time of karma and patience. This period keeps a straight account — as you sow, so you reap. The effort may be long, but its fruit lasts; discipline, service and restraint are this period's friends. To those who walk honestly, this period gives a foundation that serves for a long time.

The Vimshottari order

Nine periods, always in this order, 120 years in all. Where your cycle starts depends on the Moon's nakshatra at birth.

Astrology shows tendencies, not certainties.
