Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 7 x 16 / 120 = 0.93 years, i.e. about 11 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Mars (Mangal) | Jupiter (Guru) |
| Signifies | courage and energy, siblings and land and property | wisdom and dharma, children and teachers and gurus |
| Nature | a fiery malefic that gives drive | the greatest natural benefic |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: progress depends on how strongly Jupiter is placed.
