Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 16 x 19 / 120 = 2.53 years, i.e. 2 years 6 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Jupiter (Guru) | Saturn (Shani) |
| Signifies | wisdom and dharma, children and teachers and gurus | discipline and hard work, delays and patience and labour and servants |
| Nature | the greatest natural benefic | a slow malefic that rewards effort |
| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
Likely effects
- Career: work themes of teachers and gurus rise.
- Relationships: Saturn's house position decides whether this is a supportive or testing time.
- Money: gains follow if Saturn rules the 2nd, 9th or 11th house.
- Health: check-ups on time are wiser than worry.
