Rahu Mahadasha — Rahu Antardasha
Rahu’s own antardasha opens the Rahu mahadasha — the lord expresses its significations at full strength for 2 years 8 months 12 days. Whatever Rahu promises in your chart (by house, sign and aspects) is delivered most directly in this first sub-period.
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.

FAQ
How long does Rahu antardasha last in Rahu mahadasha?
2 years 8 months 12 days — by the Vimshottari rule the sub-period equals (mahadasha years × antardasha years) ÷ 120, i.e. (18 × 18) ÷ 120 years. It is sub-period 1 of 9, beginning about 0.0 years into the mahadasha.
Is Rahu antardasha good in Rahu mahadasha?
The two lords are natural friends, so the sub-period tends to flow WITH the mahadasha theme — efforts compound rather than collide. In your own chart the final result depends on the antardasha lord's house position, sign dignity and aspects — use the free Dasha calculator for your exact periods and judge Rahu from your kundli.
What are the remedies for this period?
Strengthen or pacify the antardasha lord: chant the Rahu beej mantra (Om Bhraam Bhreem Bhraum Sah Rahave Namah), honour Goddess Durga / Bhairav on Saturdays, and follow the classical Rahu remedies.
