Sun Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha

By Astro Kritesh, Vedic astrologer · Updated

Sun Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha lasts about 11 months in the Vimshottari system. Sun sets the overall theme (soul and self-confidence and father) and Saturn colours this sub-period with discipline and hard work and delays and patience. The two planets are enemies, which adds friction.

Duration and calculation

Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 6 x 19 / 120 = 0.95 years, i.e. about 11 months.

Likely effects

  • Career: progress depends on how strongly Saturn is placed.
  • Relationships: matters of delays and patience come into focus.
  • Money: gains follow if Saturn rules the 2nd, 9th or 11th house.
  • Health: keep routines steady; Saturn governs karmic justice.

What decides the result in your chart

  • Houses owned by Sun 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 about 11 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.
