Seasons of a life
Vimshottari dasha is the most common timing tool in Jyotish: a sequence of planetary periods, each with sub-periods, unfolding from the natal Moon’s nakshatra. Think of a mahadasha as a climate lasting years, a bhukti as a season inside it, a transit as a week’s weather.
A Saturn season can be heavy without being a verdict. A Jupiter season can be generous without being a guarantee. You still walk.
