Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 7 x 6 / 120 = 0.35 years, i.e. about 4 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Mars (Mangal) | Sun (Surya) |
| Signifies | courage and energy, siblings and land and property | soul and self-confidence, father and government and authority |
| Nature | a fiery malefic that gives drive | a mild malefic that gives authority |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: watch for changes linked to soul and self-confidence.
