Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 10 x 18 / 120 = 1.50 years, i.e. 1 years 6 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Moon (Chandra) | Rahu (Rahu) |
| Signifies | mind and emotions, mother and peace at home | ambition and obsession, foreign lands and technology and media |

| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
