Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 7 x 18 / 120 = 1.05 years, i.e. 1 years 1 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Mars (Mangal) | Rahu (Rahu) |
| Signifies | courage and energy, siblings and land and property | ambition and obsession, foreign lands and technology and media |
| Nature | a fiery malefic that gives drive | a shadow planet that magnifies desire |
| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
Likely effects
- Career: watch for changes linked to ambition and obsession.
