Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 6 x 7 / 120 = 0.35 years, i.e. about 4 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Sun (Surya) | Ketu (Ketu) |
| Signifies | soul and self-confidence, father and government and authority | detachment, spirituality and moksha and intuition |
| Nature | a mild malefic that gives authority | a shadow planet that brings detachment |
| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
Likely effects
- Career: watch for changes linked to detachment.
- Relationships: matters of spirituality and moksha come into focus.
- Money: avoid risky moves if Ketu is weak.
- Health: keep routines steady; Ketu governs sudden separation.
What decides the result in your chart
- Houses owned by Sun and Ketu for your Lagna
- The house each planet occupies
