In shortA Vedic chart times events two ways: the dasha, a planetary period that runs from birth, and transits, where the planets are now relative to your Moon and ascendant. The dasha sets what is active in your life; transits decide when it comes to a head.

A birth chart says what is possible. Timing says when. Vedic astrology answers “when” with two tools that work together: the dasha, a sequence of planetary periods that begins at birth and is set by the Moon’s nakshatra, and transits, the planets’ current positions counted from your Moon sign and your ascendant.

The guides below cover the timing questions people ask most: what the dasha you are running actually means, which Moon signs are in Sade Sati, what the Rahu and Ketu shift of late 2026 changes, and why a Saturn return in Vedic astrology is read differently from the Western one.

Your own Moon sign, ascendant and full dasha timeline are in the free kundali.
