/v1/dasha/yogini

Yogini Dasha full schedule.

What this tells you

Yogini dasha is a 36-year cycle driven by the Moon's nakshatra. Much shorter than Vimshottari's 120 years — useful for mid-range predictions. Eight Yoginis, each associated with a planet. The starting Yogini depends on the birth nakshatra's position relative to the cycle.
