Shani (Saturn) Mahadasha — Guru (Jupiter) Antardasha
Inside the 19-year Shani (Saturn) mahadasha, the Guru (Jupiter) antardasha runs for 2 years 6 months 12 days as sub-period 9 of 9. The most protective stretch — wisdom, children, teachers and fortune support you. 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.
