Tara is used for natal planetary-period timing when its quadrant-occupancy condition applies. It changes the order of major periods using chart strength. It should not be described as a system exclusively for wealth, marriage or career simply because those subjects can be examined within a natal 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.
The planetary groups are ordered from Lagna with strength comparisons inside each group. The opening balance uses the Lagna reference.
Section 6.1 derives a chart-strength-based sequence and relates its names to the ninefold Navtara relationship. Unlike fixed-order Vimshottari, the natal distribution of planets changes the major-period order.
Check the reported applicability and use a reliable birth time because the Ascendant supplies the opening balance. Compare both the period planet’s natal role and its Navtara relationship. Labels such as obstacle or friendship describe the traditional reading framework; they are not automatic event predictions.
References: Section 6.1.4, Chart 28 and Table 30; RathDasaBookTests. Calculation implementation · Source audit and known differences.
At least one planet in each of the four quadrants from Lagna (Rath 6.1.1).
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.
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: "Tara".
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.
Use an official client library or send a raw HTTP POST request to the public VedAstro API at https://vedastro.zaishi.net/api/Calculate. Choose a language below. These are recorded examples; use the calculator above for a live result.

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.
Level 1 = Mahadasa, 2 = Bhukti, 3 = Antaram, through level 8.
// Node.js
const bhuktis = result.Periods.filter(p => p.Level === 2);Ids are local to this response. A root has no parent; a child references its enclosing period.

├─ Id 2 · Saturn · ParentId 1
└─ Id 3 · Mercury · ParentId 1| 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.
DasaAtTime returns Levels with Level, Type, Lord, Start and End for the chain running at at.
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.
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(birthTime, system = Vimshottari, depth = 3, options = null)
The whole system-defined life as one chronological Periods array.
Open example →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(birthTime)
Advanced discovery: every supported system, whether it applies to this chart, why, its life span and whether it defines subperiods.
Open example →| 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. |
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.
Each client library sends requests to the same hosted VedAstro API. Install the SDK for your language, then use the examples above with the public API base URL. Keep API keys in your application configuration; the public examples use FreeAPIUser.

At least one planet in each of the four quadrants from Lagna (Rath 6.1.1).
The planetary groups are ordered from Lagna with strength comparisons inside each group. The opening balance uses the Lagna reference.
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.
The default is TrueSiderealSolar. Ayanamsa controls zodiac positions, while DasaOptions.YearConvention controls durations. No additional system-specific option is required for the default calculation.
