Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 19 x 16 / 120 = 2.53 years, i.e. 2 years 6 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Saturn (Shani) | Jupiter (Guru) |

| Relationship | neutral to each other | neutral to each other |
