Venus mahadasha
20 years of the 120-year vimshottari cycle
The longest dasha. Relationships, comfort, art and wealth build steadily; the risk across twenty years is complacency and over-attachment to pleasure.
Sub-periods
Every mahadasha divides into nine antardashas in the same planetary order, starting with the mahadasha lord's own — so a Venus mahadasha opens with Venus–Venus, its most concentrated stretch. Each antardasha's length is proportional: the Venus–X antardasha runs 20 × X's years ÷ 120.
