What is Shodshottari Dasa used for?

Shodshottari provides a 116-year planetary timing framework selected by a specific birth-chart condition: Birth in Sukla Paksha with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or Krishna Paksha with Lagna in Moon's Hora. In a traditional reading, this condition is the reason to choose this system for examining events across the person’s life. Its period dates are read together with the planets and houses in the birth chart.

Your result shows calculated time periods. Understanding what happens within a period requires the rest of the birth chart; this page does not generate a new personal prediction.

How Shodshottari Dasa is calculated

The implemented seed is Pushya. The constellation count selects the initial lord and the elapsed constellation fraction supplies the balance.

Follow the calculation step by step

Calculate the natal positions from the person’s birth time and place, using the selected Ayanamsa. Check applicability: Birth in Sukla Paksha with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or Krishna Paksha with Lagna in Moon's Hora
Opening balance = selected lord’s full allotment × (remaining arc of the starting nakshatra / 13°20′). For Moon-started systems use the Moon’s longitude; Tara uses the Ascendant, and explicit Vimshottari starts use their selected reference. A partly elapsed opening period must not be restarted at its full length.
The eight allotments increase from 11 to 18 years. Proportional child periods subdivide each major allotment.
For these planetary methods, proportional subdivision uses the full, untrimmed parent duration × child-lord years / cycle years. Clip the opening result at birth only after establishing the underlying boundaries. Use the documented system order: Ashtottari and Tithi Ashtottari run in reverse, while Tara’s children use Vimshottari order. Repeat only to the requested depth.
Convert the resulting year fractions to dates using the reported year convention. This system defaults to TrueSiderealSolar. A sidereal solar year measures a full sidereal revolution of the Sun; a fixed 360-day year and a mean tropical year are different clocks. Published approximate month/day arithmetic can differ from exact solar-motion boundaries.

Read each result from its inclusive start to its exclusive end. The schedule is clipped to the supported span; its length is not a prediction of lifespan. Use the live date query for fine detail and the life timeline for an overview.

History and traditional context

The book spells this Shodasottari. Chapter 8 derives the 116-year scheme from a reversed planetary-hour order, inserting Ketu before the Moon and omitting Rahu. Chapter 3.2 associates its background theme with Rahu, foreign influence and bringing knowledge or goods inward.

When and how to use it

Use it when the waxing/waning Moon and Ascendant Hora match its conditions. Interpret Rahu in this individual chart before assigning a theme: foreign influence can mean cultural or intellectual exchange, not only trade. Then examine the period lord and relevant houses for turning points.

An example from the book

Chart 36 uses Sri Aurobindo: a waxing-Moon birth and the Sun’s Hora establish applicability. The Moon in Moola selects Saturn as the first lord. Table 41 shows an opening Saturn balance followed by Ketu, illustrating that the first period is a balance rather than fourteen fresh years from birth.

Paraphrased from Sanjay Rath, Vimsottari & Udu Dasas (2005). Interpretive and biographical claims are the author’s account, not independent verification or a new prediction from this calculator.

Your result will tell you whether this person meets the traditional selection conditions. You can still explore the periods when the conditions are not met.

Starting rule, durations and settings

Starting reference and balance

The implemented seed is Pushya. The constellation count selects the initial lord and the elapsed constellation fraction supplies the balance.

Lord sequence and full allotments

Lord	Full years
Sun	11
Mars	12
Jupiter	13
Saturn	14
Ketu	15
Moon	16
Mercury	17
Venus	18

The eight allotments increase from 11 to 18 years. Proportional child periods subdivide each major allotment.

Calculation settings

No additional system-specific option is required for the default calculation. The response reports the convention actually used. A system’s full cycle is not a prediction of a person’s lifespan.

Use Shodshottari with an AI assistant

Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the free public MCP endpoint https://mcp.vedastro.org/api/mcp/public. Follow the MCP connection guide, initialize the MCP session, list the available tools, and call either tool below with system: "Shodshottari".

Replace the sample with the user’s actual birth location, local birth date (DD/MM/YYYY) and time (HH:MM, 24-hour). No saved-person ID or website account is required by these tools. Never invent missing birth details. The server resolves coordinates and date-specific offsets. Inspection times are local to the birth location, not the browser timezone.

The date tool defaults to levels 3 and midday; the life tool defaults to level 1. Both use Raman Ayanamsa. Moola requires level 1. Deep whole-life expansions can be very large: prefer a date query for fine detail. Read raw_dasa.DasaAtTime or raw_dasa.DasaForLife; check IsApplicable, ApplicabilityReason and YearConvention. Intervals include Start and exclude End. Life periods use response-local Id/ParentId; keep Sudarsana tracks separate. These are calculation results, not generated predictions.

Understand the responsePeriod fields, hierarchy and timestamps

04 / FROM JSON TO UI

One period model. No interpretation.

DasaForLife returns a single chronological Periods array. Each level defined by the system is present, up to the requested depth. Filter by Level to draw bands, or follow ParentId to build a tree.

Flat timeline

Level 1 = Mahadasa, 2 = Bhukti, 3 = Antaram, through level 8.

// Node.js
const bhuktis = result.Periods.filter(p => p.Level === 2);

Nested display

Ids are local to this response. A root has no parent; a child references its enclosing period.

Id 1 · Rahu · Level 1
├─ Id 2 · Saturn · ParentId 1
└─ Id 3 · Mercury · ParentId 1

Dasa period response fields
Field	How to use it
`Id / ParentId`	Response-local integer id and nullable parent id. Build relationships within this result; do not store them as permanent identifiers.
`Level`	Subdivision depth, 1–8. Systems that define no subperiods return level 1 only.
`Lord`	`{ Kind, Name }`. Kind is `Planet` or `Sign`; planetary systems and rasi systems share one shape.
`Start / End`	ISO timestamps with offset. Half-open intervals: [Start, End). The first period starts at birth; its natural beginning may be earlier.
`Track`	Null for single-track systems. Sudarsana returns three tracks: Lagna, Moon and Sun.

Metadata explains the calculation: System, Method, MethodReason, YearConvention, LifeSpanYears, IsApplicable, ApplicabilityReason and display-only Notes.

Point snapshots

DasaAtTime returns Levels with Level, Type, Lord, Start and End for the chain running at at.

Separate clocks

Ayanamsa sets zodiac positions. DasaOptions.YearConvention sets duration. Janma defaults to 360-day years; Chara and Kalachakra use mean tropical years; other selections use true sidereal solar motion.

API reference & advanced discoverySignatures, parameters and CheckDasaSystemApplicability

05 / API REFERENCE

Small methods. Explicit choices.

Signatures below use API wire names and server defaults. Python and Node.js retain PascalCase method names; Dart and Java use lowerCamelCase; Go retains PascalCase with a context first and an optional options struct.

DasaForLife

DasaForLife(birthTime, system = Vimshottari, depth = 3, options = null)

The whole system-defined life as one chronological Periods array.

Open example →

DasaAtTime

DasaAtTime(birthTime, at, system = Vimshottari, depth = 3, options = null)

The running chain at one moment, with the start and end of every level.

Open example →

CheckDasaSystemApplicability

CheckDasaSystemApplicability(birthTime)

Advanced discovery: every supported system, whether it applies to this chart, why, its life span and whether it defines subperiods.

Open example →

Parameters

Parameter	Required / default	Meaning
`birthTime`	Required	Time and birth location.
`at`	Required for DasaAtTime	Moment to inspect; must be inside the system's life.
`system`	Vimshottari	One of the 24 forms. Explicit choices are never silently replaced.
`depth`	3	Integer 1–8. Start with 1 or 2 for long spans.
`options`	null	`YearConvention`, plus Kalachakra, Shoola or Narayana Sama settings only for those systems.

Events charts use a separate path

LifePredictor and Events APIs keep their sampled time-slice evaluation. Dasa calls return raw periods and no interpretation; use the API builder for event/chart calls.

Questions about Shodshottari

When should I choose Shodshottari?

Birth in Sukla Paksha with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or Krishna Paksha with Lagna in Moon's Hora

How is the first period selected?

The implemented seed is Pushya. The constellation count selects the initial lord and the elapsed constellation fraction supplies the balance.

Can I request every subdivision?

Request depth 1–8; the response includes only levels defined by this system. Use a date query for deep detail without generating a whole-life expansion.

Which clock and options does this system use?

The default is TrueSiderealSolar. Ayanamsa controls zodiac positions, while DasaOptions.YearConvention controls durations. No additional system-specific option is required for the default calculation.
