Yogini dasha

A Vedic dasha (planetary period) system of eight periods named for eight yoginis, from Mangala (one year) to Sankata (eight years), 36 years in all and then repeating. Like Vimshottari it starts from the birth nakshatra. This site times your chapters with Vimshottari; Yogini is a shorter cycle some astrologers read beside it.
