Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 16 x 18 / 120 = 2.40 years, i.e. 2 years 5 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Jupiter (Guru) | Rahu (Rahu) |
| Signifies | wisdom and dharma, children and teachers and gurus | ambition and obsession, foreign lands and technology and media |
| Nature | the greatest natural benefic | a shadow planet that magnifies desire |
| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
Likely effects
- Career: progress depends on how strongly Rahu is placed.
- Relationships: Rahu's house position decides whether this is a supportive or testing time.
- Money: steady income if both planets are well placed.
- Health: check-ups on time are wiser than worry.
What decides the result in your chart
- Houses owned by Jupiter and Rahu for your Lagna
- The house each planet occupies
- Their mutual position (kendra, trikona, 6-8 or 2-12)
- Transits of Saturn and Jupiter during these 2 years 5 months
Remedies for this period
- Chant Om Rahave Namah 108 times on Saturday.
- Give charity linked to Rahu on Saturday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Hessonite (Gomed) - only if Rahu is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: avoid shortcuts and intoxicants, stay grounded.
