Yogini Dasha Calculator — Yogini Dasha in Kundli
What is Yogini Dasha in Kundli?
Yogini Dasha is a nakshatra-based dasha system from the Rudrayamala Tantra that divides life into eight repeating planetary periods, together spanning a 36-year cycle. The eight Yoginis — Mangala (Moon, 1 year), Pingala (Sun, 2), Dhanya (Jupiter, 3), Bhramari (Mars, 4), Bhadrika (Mercury, 5), Ulka (Saturn, 6), Siddha (Venus, 7), and Sankata (Rahu, 8) — run in a fixed order, and each colours the period with the nature of its ruling planet.
Your starting Yogini is fixed by your birth nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon occupied at birth), and the balance at birth is the unspent portion of that Yogini's period. Astrologers often read Yogini Dasha alongside Vimshottari Dasha — when both point to the same kind of result, the timing is considered stronger. Dhanya, Siddha, Bhadrika, and Mangala are generally counted as supportive periods, while Ulka, Sankata, and Pingala call for patience and care.
