Saturn's Dasha-Antardasha
In Vedic astrology, Saturn's Mahadasha and Antardasha are considered periods when Saturn-related issues are activated in a person's life. During this period, special attention is paid to topics such as career, responsibilities, hard work, discipline, financial situation, delays, and challenges in life.
