Jupiter-Mars antardasha गुरु-मंगल अंतर्दशा
Jupiter-Mars lasts about eleven months and six days. The two lords are mutual friends, and tradition reads the pairing as principle backed by force. Gains through land, courage in a righteous cause, advancement in technical or administrative roles, and matters concerning siblings and children are classical themes. Legal matters tend to resolve well. The cautions are over-confidence, quarrels in defence of doctrine, and minor injuries. Energetic and generally productive.

The mahadasha behind it
Jupiter mahadasha is a sixteen year period that tradition associates with wisdom, children, teachers, faith, and rightful gain. After the complicated Rahu period it usually feels like a return to firm ground. Classical texts read a well-placed Jupiter as one of the most fortunate dashas, bringing growth in family, learning, and respect, while a debilitated or afflicted Jupiter brings over-confidence and disappointment in those same areas.

What Mars adds as sub-lord
Mars mahadasha is a seven year period that tradition associates with energy, courage, competition, property, and siblings. After the receptive Moon period it feels abrupt and active, with a strong pull toward decisive action. Classical texts read a strong Mars as bringing achievement through effort and gains in land or technical fields, while a weak or afflicted Mars brings disputes, accidents, and conflict with brothers or authority. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Mars owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Jupiter's themes for 11 mo 6 d. See Mars as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Jupiter runs 16 years and Mars runs 7 years in the 120-year cycle, so Jupiter-Mars lasts 16 × 7 ÷ 120 = 0.933 years, about 11 mo 6 d. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
