Dasha is a timing sequence
Vimshottari dasha begins from the natal Moon's nakshatra and follows a fixed planetary sequence. Mahadasha, Antardasha, and Pratyantardasha are nested periods. They activate a traditional interpretive context; the natal graha does not physically move when its period begins.
Transit is current motion
A transit is a graha's astronomical position at another date. In Astrolife, outlined tokens show the current or selected sky while filled tokens preserve natal positions. The longitude ring moves continuously, and a whole-sign chart token changes cell only at an actual ingress.
Use timing as context
A timing statement should identify the relevant natal fact, active dasha period, transit relationship, and declared rule. Multiple factors may make a theme more prominent, but they do not guarantee a concrete event. Astrolife therefore uses conditional language and shows start, exact, and end times where the rule supports them.
Practice on a chart
- Open the sample chart and identify the facts used in this lesson.
- Explain the rule in your own words without turning it into a prediction.
