Vimshottari · ~1 year

Ketu Mahadasha · Mercury Bhukti

Fewer words, cleaner thinking.

What this period asks of you

Fewer words, cleaner thinking. During a Ketu mahadasha (7-year period governing detachment, moksha, past-life mastery, sudden endings), the Mercury bhukti — running for ~1 year — quickens communication, contracts, and clever decisions. The dominant strength this window tends to hand you is spiritual clarity, subject-matter mastery, sharp intuition, refined and often re-directed by Mercury's emphasis on intellect, commerce, writing. The classical caution is over-thinking, restlessness, agreements skimmed too fast. Read this as weather, not fate: the same Ketu-Mercury window lands very differently depending on the natal house each lord occupies in your chart and the KP sub-lord of the ascendant on the exact date you check.

According to Lodestar Astrology. This is the general Vimshottari template — your natal chart and current KP transits refine what you actually experience.
