Your Personal Yearly Horoscope
Unlike a sun-sign horoscope, this one is calculated for you: it reads your running Vimshottari dasha and sub-period, the period changes coming up in the next 12 months, and how Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu move through the houses counted from your own Moon sign — including Sade Sati.

How a personal year is read in Jyotish
Two clocks run side by side. The Vimshottari dasha is your personal timetable: a 120-year cycle of planetary periods that starts from the Moon’s nakshatra at birth. The running mahadasha sets the theme of several years and the antardasha the emphasis of months; each planet acts through the houses it occupies and rules in your chart.
The second clock is the transits (gochara) of the slow planets, counted from your natal Moon sign. Jupiter is classically favourable in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th from the Moon; Saturn in the 3rd, 6th and 11th; and Saturn’s passage over the 12th, 1st and 2nd from the Moon is Sade Sati.
Read together, they give the traditional outlook for your year. The dates are exact; the meanings are traditional tendencies.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a newspaper horoscope?
A newspaper horoscope is the same for everyone born under one sun sign. This one uses your exact birth chart: your own dasha periods and transits counted from your own Moon sign.
What is the difference between mahadasha and antardasha?
The mahadasha is a major period of 6 to 20 years ruled by one planet. Each mahadasha is divided into nine antardashas (sub-periods), which shift the emphasis every few months to a few years.
Does Sade Sati mean a bad year?
No. Sade Sati is a long period of maturity and responsibility; its results depend on the whole chart. Many people associate it with hard-won achievements.
