Mars Mahadasha (7 Years) — Results, Antardasha Order & Remedies
The flavour of the mahadasha
In the Vimshottari order Mars's mahadasha runs 7 years, colouring life with energy, courage and contest. The houses Mars owns and occupies in your chart become the main chapters of these years; the opening antardasha (Mars's own) unfolds the theme gradually.
Well-placed vs afflicted
A strong Mars owning kendra-trikona houses makes its dasha a season of rise; tied to the trik (6-8-12) or combust-debilitated-afflicted, the same years become a season of testing. The dasha is therefore read from Mars's condition in your chart, not from its name — see your dasha table and Mars's placement together in the free kundali.
Antardasha order and spans
Within the mahadasha the nine antardashas run in this order (span = MD-years × AD-years ÷ 120):
Mars-Mars: 5m
Mars-Rahu: 1y 1m
Mars-Jupiter: 11m
Mars-Saturn: 1y 1m
Mars-Mercury: 1y
Mars-Ketu: 5m
Mars-Venus: 1y 2m
Mars-Sun: 4m
Mars-Moon: 7m
Each pair's detailed result has its own page in this encyclopedia's Mars-antardasha series.
