Ketu Mahadasha — Budh (Mercury) Antardasha

⏳ 11 months 27 daysSub-period 9 of 9Mixed pairing

Inside the 7-year Ketu mahadasha, the Budh (Mercury) antardasha runs for 11 months 27 days as sub-period 9 of 9. Lightens the mind — study, business, communication and travel move quickly. The two lords are neutral to each other, so the sub-period runs on its own merits — the antardasha lord’s strength in your chart decides how it lands.

Classical basis: the Vimshottari sub-period rule of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra — the antardasha spans (mahadasha years × antardasha lord’s years) ÷ 120, sub-periods run in the fixed order from the mahadasha lord, and the fruit is judged by the two lords’ mutual relation and the antardasha lord’s dignity in the birth chart.
