Understanding your planetary period

Vedic astrology divides life into a 120-year cycle of planetary periods, starting from the planet that ruled the Moon's position when you were born. The free birth chart tool above shows which main period and sub-period you are in right now.

The main period's planet sets the theme of a long phase of life, and the sub-period turns that theme into specific events. What a period gives depends on which houses the planet rules and where it sits in your chart.

So a Saturn period can bring steady career growth for one person and delays for another. A reading combines this with current transits to tell you what your present phase is asking of you.
