Jyotish or Astrology as we say in English has a heavy reference to Nakshatras and the Vimdhottari Dasha has a total span of 120 years and Mahadasha cycle of various planets viz. Sun-6yrs; Moon-10yrs; Mars-7yrs; Rahu-18yrs; Jupiter-16yrs; Saturn-19yrs; Mercury-17yrs; Ketu-7yrs and Venus-20yrs.
It naturally means that Nakshatras cannot be summarily dismissed as they form the very basis of Mahadasha cycle of planets on which the whole Hindu Astrology is based.
