"Should I change jobs" is a decision only you can make — your finances, your relationships, your risk tolerance aren't in anyone's chart. What a Vedic chart can describe is the planetary period you're currently in, and the kind of stretch that period has historically been associated with. That's context, not a verdict.
Most people arrive at a career astrology question already mid-decision — restless, or weighing an offer, or burnt out. The chart can't settle that for you, and any product that claims it can is overselling. What it can do is name the planetary period you're in and describe the pattern associated with that period, so you're deciding with one more piece of context, not a prediction.
Vimshottari Dasha divides life into sequential planetary periods — a Mahadasha (the major period, years long) containing Antardashas (sub-periods, months long). Each planet carries an interpretive theme: Jupiter periods are often read as growth and opportunity, Saturn periods as consolidation and groundwork, Mercury periods as negotiation and detail work. These themes come from classical texts and long practitioner tradition, not from any guarantee about your specific outcome.
The planet ruling your period changes, and with it, which part of your chart gets interpretive emphasis — particularly how that planet relates to your 10th house and its lord. In practice this means the same birth chart can be read differently in a Jupiter Antardasha versus a Saturn Antardasha. It does not mean external events are triggered by the calendar; it means the lens shifts.
It will not tell you to take the offer, resign, or wait. It will not promise a better period ahead or warn you away from a worse one. If a reading reads like a verdict rather than a description, that's a sign to push back and ask what chart factor it's actually citing.
Your Dasha timeline is computed by SIDDHANTA, our deterministic engine, from your Moon's exact sidereal position (Lahiri ayanamsha) at birth — the same inputs always produce the same 120-year Vimshottari sequence. We've cross-checked this output against Swiss Ephemeris and NASA/JPL Horizons on a fixed test set with no fundamental discrepancy found; validation against JHora, the specialist practitioner tool, is still pending and we're not claiming it's complete.
The written interpretation of what a period "means" for you is produced by a bounded AI layer required to cite the specific Dasha lord and chart factor behind each statement. It is built to decline requests for a decision, a guarantee, or a timeline for a specific outcome — it will reframe those back to you as a question about pattern, not fact.

"You moved into a Jupiter Antardasha four months ago, inside a Mercury Mahadasha. Jupiter periods are traditionally read as expansion-oriented, and your Jupiter sits in the 10th house itself — a placement often associated with visibility and new opportunity surfacing, rather than needing to be chased. Whether you act on an opportunity that appears is a decision this reading won't make for you."
This sample will not go live until an independent astrology reviewer confirms it fairly represents what the chart factors support. We will not publish sample readings without that review.
No. It can describe your current Dasha themes. The decision stays yours.
The ruling planet and the interpretive theme associated with it — see the methodology above for exactly what we compute versus what we interpret.
No — it's a shift in timing emphasis, not an instruction. Many people stay put across several Dasha periods.
