Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 7 x 7 / 120 = 0.41 years, i.e. about 5 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Ketu (Ketu) | Mars (Mangal) |
| Signifies | detachment, spirituality and moksha and intuition | courage and energy, siblings and land and property |
| Nature | a shadow planet that brings detachment | a fiery malefic that gives drive |
| Relationship | friends | friends |
Likely effects
- Career: work themes of intuition rise.
- Relationships: patience helps where Ketu creates pressure.
- Money: steady income if both planets are well placed.
- Health: check-ups on time are wiser than worry.
