Yogini Dasha
Yogini Dasha is a Vedic timing system built on a 36-year cycle shared among eight Yoginis — Mangala, Pingala, Dhanya, Bhramari, Bhadrika, Ulka, Siddha and Sankata — each linked to a planet. Your starting Yogini is set by your Moon's nakshatra at birth. This reading lists every Yogini period with its exact start and end dates and highlights the one running now.
It is often used alongside Vimshottari Dasha as a second opinion on timing.

How to read your result
Each Yogini carries the nature of its ruling planet (e.g. Siddha–Venus is generally favourable, Sankata–Rahu more testing).
The first period is a partial 'birth balance' — the remainder of the Yogini in progress when you were born.
How it's calculated
Derived from your Moon's nakshatra and the elapsed portion at birth, using the 36-year Yogini proportions (1+2+…+8 years).

Frequently asked questions
What is Yogini Dasha?
A Vedic planetary-period system on a 36-year cycle across eight Yoginis, each tied to a planet, used to time events much like Vimshottari Dasha.
How long is the Yogini Dasha cycle?
36 years — the eight Yoginis run for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years respectively, then the cycle repeats.
Do I need my birth time?
Yes — the starting Yogini and all dates depend on your Moon's nakshatra, which needs an accurate birth time and place.
