In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
: WikiPedia: Hindu AstrologyѲ岹ś (महादशा):—The first Mahā-Daśā is determined by the position of the natal Moon in a given Nakṣatra. The lord of the Nakṣatra governs the Daśā. Each Mahā-Dś is divided into sub-periods called bhuktis, or antar-岹śs, which are proportional divisions of the maha-dasa. Further proportional sub-divisions can be made (but error margin based on accuracy of the birth-time grows exponentially). The next sub-division is called pratyantar-岹ś, which can in turn be divided into sookshma-antardasa, which can in turn be divided into praana-Գٲ岹ś, which can be sub-divided into deha-Գٲ岹ś. Such sub-divisions also exist in all other Daśā systems, some of which have been named above.

Jyotisha (ज्योति�, dzپṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy� or “Vedic astrology� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
