Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 6 x 16 / 120 = 0.80 years, i.e. about 10 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Sun (Surya) | Jupiter (Guru) |
| Signifies | soul and self-confidence, father and government and authority | wisdom and dharma, children and teachers and gurus |
| Nature | a mild malefic that gives authority | the greatest natural benefic |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: watch for changes linked to wisdom and dharma.
