If your Kundli shows what is promised, the dasha shows when it arrives. Vimshottari dasha divides a 120-year life cycle into planetary periods. Whichever planet's mahadasha you are running sets the theme of those years, and the antardasha inside it decides the finer timing.
The order is fixed, and it starts from the ruler of your birth nakshatra.
Each mahadasha is divided into nine antardashas (sub-periods), in the same order, starting with the mahadasha lord itself. Each antardasha splits again into pratyantar dashas. Big life events usually arrive when the mahadasha and antardasha lords are both connected to the matching house — the 7th for marriage, the 10th for career.
A planet's period gives the results of the houses it rules and occupies in your chart, and its strength. Saturn mahadasha can be the most productive stretch of life for one person and the most demanding for another. Generic dasha descriptions miss this — your own chart decides it.
