Duration and calculation
Antardasha length = Mahadasha years x Antardasha years / 120. Here: 19 x 6 / 120 = 0.95 years, i.e. about 11 months.
How the two planets combine
| Mahadasha lord | Antardasha lord | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | Saturn (Shani) | Sun (Surya) |
| Signifies | discipline and hard work, delays and patience and labour and servants | soul and self-confidence, father and government and authority |
| Nature | a slow malefic that rewards effort | a mild malefic that gives authority |
| Relationship | enemies | enemies |
Likely effects
- Career: progress depends on how strongly Sun is placed.
- Relationships: patience helps where Saturn creates pressure.
- Money: avoid risky moves if Sun is weak.
- Health: rest and diet matter more than usual.
What decides the result in your chart
- Houses owned by Saturn and Sun for your Lagna
- The house each planet occupies

Remedies for this period
- Chant Om Suryaya Namah 108 times on Sunday.
