Rahu Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha

By Astro Kritesh, Vedic astrologer · Updated

Rahu Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha lasts 2 years 10 months in the Vimshottari system. Rahu sets the overall theme (ambition and obsession and foreign lands) and Saturn colours this sub-period with discipline and hard work and delays and patience. The two planets are friends, which makes the period smoother.

Likely effects

  • Money: steady income if both planets are well placed.
  • Health: rest and diet matter more than usual.

What decides the result in your chart

  • Houses owned by Rahu and Saturn 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 2 years 10 months

Remedies for this period

  • Chant Om Shanaischaraya Namah 108 times on Saturday.
  • Give charity linked to Saturn on Saturday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
  • Gemstone: Blue Sapphire (Neelam) - only if Saturn is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
  • Keep the habits of the planet: work hard, help labourers and the elderly, be punctual.
