Chapter · Timing & dasha deployment

Predictive Timeline & Dasha

The reconciled Vimshottari roadmap runs from the birth balance through the current Saturn Mahadasha into the Mercury era. Dates are retained where the engines agree; Jaimini Char & Yogini dashas exist in the source set but are not itemized because no reconciled durations were recoverable.

Antardasha transitions & windows (2026–2031)
PeriodWindowRead
Saturn / Rahu08 Nov 2025 – 14 Sep 2028Ambition, money, unconventional opportunity & career restructuring intensify — focused expansion under Saturn's discipline (active Aug 2026).
Saturn / Jupiter14 Sep 2028 – 30 Mar 2031Authority / consolidation window — Jupiter in the 10th is the clearest natal career-strength signal: teaching, reputation, financial maturity.
Decision filter · 2026–2028
1Does it compound? Prefer skills, products & relationships that gain value over time.
2Is it documented? Mercury rewards systems, notes, contracts & review.
3Does it strengthen the base? Rahu in the 2nd needs tangible financial grounding.
4Is it reversible? Be cautious where downside is permanent but upside is speculative.

Why flagged: the narrative editions compute Vimshottari from the Pisces/Revati Moon, producing Rahu MD 2022–2040. The reconciled Gemini/Ardra Moon produces Saturn MD 2012–2031 → Mercury MD 2031–2048. Both maps are shown rather than averaged; see the Conflict Register in the master report.

2026 forecast highlights · narrative layer

  • Career: a genuine offer or project opportunity expected in the Mar–Aug band; take it and build.
  • Relationships: strong year for a significant meeting; Oct–Dec especially notable.
  • Finance: first meaningful income after a lean phase — save aggressively, control expenses.
  • Caution: legal review before long contracts; beware "get rich quick" pitches (Rahu themes).

2027 forecast highlights · narrative layer

  • Career: consolidation; promotion or role advancement possible mid-year.
  • Marriage: deepening toward commitment; ceremony window late 2027–early 2028 if the right person is found.
  • Wealth: property research only; SIPs from 2026 begin to show growth.
  • Best months (per source): February, June, September–October.
Sade Sati status: the Moon is Gemini, so the next full Sade Sati onset is placed around 2029, not 2026. The current Saturn-Rahu window (2025→2028) is a dasha/transit effect and must not be conflated with Sade Sati — they are separate timing factors.
