Antardasha 7 of 9 in Mars mahadasha · 1 yr 2 mo
Mars-Venus antardasha मंगल-शुक्र अंतर्दशा
Mars-Venus lasts one year and two months, the longest sub-period in Mars mahadasha. The two lords are mutually neutral, and tradition reads the pairing as passion meeting pleasure: romance, marriage or its discussion, property purchases, vehicles, and creative work with a competitive edge. Business partnerships are common themes. The cautions are impulsive spending, jealousy, and disputes with a spouse over money. Generally a relief after the harder middle stretches.

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 Venus adds as sub-lord
Venus mahadasha is the longest period in the cycle, twenty years that tradition associates with relationships, comfort, the arts, and material consolidation. It follows the sparse Ketu period and is usually felt as a return to the world. Classical texts read a well-placed Venus as one of the most pleasant dashas, though a weak or afflicted Venus can bring indulgence and relationship strain instead. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Venus owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Mars's themes for 1 yr 2 mo. See Venus as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Mars runs 7 years and Venus runs 20 years in the 120-year cycle, so Mars-Venus lasts 7 × 20 ÷ 120 = 1.167 years, about 1 yr 2 mo. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
