Vimshottari Dasha Connection
If your Moon is in Purva Phalguni, your Dasha sequence begins with the Venus (Shukra) Mahadasha (20 years). The exact starting point within that Dasha is calculated from how far your Moon has progressed through Purva Phalguni at birth. Arcanavana computes your complete Dasha timeline from your birth details.
Your Moon nakshatra is the foundation of Vedic timing. It determines not just your initial Dasha but also your emotional nature, karmic instincts, and the subtle flavour of your inner life that your Sun sign alone cannot reveal. See the full nakshatra guide or get your complete Vedic Kundli.
