Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 7 x 10 / 120 = 0.58 years, i.e. about 7 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Mars (Mangal) | Moon (Chandra) |
| Signifies | courage and energy, siblings and land and property | mind and emotions, mother and peace at home |
| Nature | a fiery malefic that gives drive | a benefic when waxing and strong |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: watch for changes linked to mind and emotions.
- Relationships: Moon's house position decides whether this is a supportive or testing time.
- Money: avoid risky moves if Moon is weak.
- Health: check-ups on time are wiser than worry.
What decides the result in your chart
- Houses owned by Mars and Moon 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 about 7 months
Remedies for this period
- Chant Om Chandraya Namah 108 times on Monday.
- Give charity linked to Moon on Monday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Pearl (Moti) - only if Moon is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
