Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 10 x 6 / 120 = 0.50 years, i.e. about 6 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Moon (Chandra) | Sun (Surya) |
| Signifies | mind and emotions, mother and peace at home | soul and self-confidence, father and government and authority |
| Nature | a benefic when waxing and strong | a mild malefic that gives authority |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: progress depends on how strongly Sun is placed.
- Relationships: Sun's house position decides whether this is a supportive or testing time.

What decides the result in your chart
- Houses owned by Moon and Sun for your Lagna
- The house each planet occupies

Remedies for this period

- Gemstone: Ruby (Manik) - only if Sun is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
