Ketu Mahadasha — Mangal (Mars) Antardasha
Inside the 7-year Ketu mahadasha, the Mangal (Mars) antardasha runs for 4 months 27 days as sub-period 5 of 9. Energetic and impatient — action, property matters and conflicts speed up. The two lords are natural friends, so the sub-period tends to flow WITH the mahadasha theme — efforts compound rather than collide.
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.
