Nisarga/Nisargayu Dasha System
1. Significance of Nisarga/Nisargayu Dasha
Nisarga or Nisargayu Dasha is a lifespan-based planetary Dasha system that focuses on the natural sequence of planetary influences from birth to death. This system is mainly used to understand the natural progression of life, longevity, and health-related events in a native’s life.
Applicability Conditions:

- Provides a natural flow of planetary influences based on a person’s age and stage of life.
- Used to predict major life events and karmic transitions.
2. Calculation of Nisarga/Nisargayu Dasha
The Nisargayu Dasha follows a fixed planetary sequence based on the natural progression of a person’s life. The sequence is derived from the planets governing different stages of life.
Step-by-Step Calculation
- The Dasha Sequence is Fixed: The planetary order is Moon → Mars → Mercury → Jupiter → Venus → Saturn → Sun.
- Assigning Years to Each Planet: Each planet governs a specific duration of life.
- Determining Starting Planet: The sequence starts from the Moon and follows the fixed planetary order.
- Dashas Operate in Sequential Order: Each planet influences the native for a specific period, defining the events of that age.
Fixed Sequence and Duration of Planets in Nisargayu Dasha:
- Moon – 1 to 1.5 years (Infancy, nurturing period)
- Mars – 2 to 5 years (Toddler, initiation into action)
- Mercury – 6 to 12 years (Childhood, learning phase)
- Jupiter – 13 to 32 years (Adolescence & early adulthood, knowledge and expansion)
- Venus – 33 to 50 years (Middle age, relationships, prosperity)
- Saturn – 51 to 70 years (Old age, responsibilities, endurance)
- Sun – 71+ years (Final phase, wisdom, spiritual realization)
Sequence of Nisargayu Dasha:
- This system follows a natural life cycle-based progression.
- The planetary influence shifts at specific age thresholds.
- No planetary strength assessment is required, as the order and timing are predetermined.
