Antardasha 3 of 9 in Mars mahadasha · 11 mo 6 d
Mars-Jupiter antardasha मंगल-गुरु अंतर्दशा
Mars-Jupiter lasts about eleven months and six days and is traditionally the most constructive stretch of Mars mahadasha. Jupiter and Mars are mutual friends: force guided by principle. Tradition expects gains through land, children, teachers, or institutions; advancement in a profession; and religious or educational undertakings. Legal matters tend to resolve favourably. Financial recovery is common. The caution is over-confidence in a righteous cause. Marriage is sometimes timed here.

The mahadasha behind it
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.

What Jupiter adds as sub-lord
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. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Jupiter owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Mars's themes for 11 mo 6 d. See Jupiter as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Mars runs 7 years and Jupiter runs 16 years in the 120-year cycle, so Mars-Jupiter lasts 7 × 16 ÷ 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.
