Ketu Antardasha closes out the 20-year Venus Mahadasha, running 1 year, 2 months as the ninth and final sub-period. The "Mixed / Moderate" badge here is a genuine double-neutral: Venus's own table has no rating for Ketu at all, and Ketu's own table, checked independently, calls Venus neutral too, a rare case where an undeclared gap and an explicit rating land in exactly the same place.

Mercury Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs 2 years, 10 months and carries a fully mutual "Favorable" badge: Venus's own table names Mercury a friend, and Mercury's own table names Venus right back, a direct mirror of the already-published Mercury Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha.

Saturn Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs 3 years, 2 months and carries a genuine "Favorable" badge, a rare, fully mutual friendship confirmed on both planets' own tables, and a direct mirror of the already-published Saturn Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha.

Jupiter Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs 2 years, 8 months and carries a "Mixed / Moderate" badge, since Venus's own table treats Jupiter as neutral. But Jupiter's own table names Venus as one of only two declared enemies, so the real relationship runs colder than this post's badge admits, a direct mirror of the already-published Jupiter Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha, where the same asymmetry ran the opposite way.

Rahu Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs a full 3 years and carries a neutral "Mixed / Moderate" badge by default, since Venus's own table never rates Rahu at all. But Rahu's own table names Venus as one of only two declared friends, so the neutral badge undersells real warmth, a direct mirror of the already-published Rahu Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha.

Mars Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs 1 year, 2 months and carries a genuine "Mixed / Moderate" badge: both planets' own tables call each other neutral, a direct mirror of the already-published Mars Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha, and one of only a handful of true double-neutral pairings in this whole content series.

Moon Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs 1 year, 8 months and carries a "Naturally Challenging" badge, since Venus's own table names the Moon its second declared enemy. But the Moon's own table has no enemies to name back, so the badge oversells the tension: this is a direct mirror of the already-published Moon Mahadasha, Venus Antardasha, viewed from the opposite side.

Sun Antardasha inside Venus Mahadasha runs just 1 year, the shortest sub-period in this nine-part cluster, and carries a genuinely mutual "Naturally Challenging" badge: Venus's own table names the Sun an enemy, and the Sun's own table names Venus right back, no asymmetry to soften this one.

Venus Antardasha opens the 20-year Venus Mahadasha with 3 years, 4 months of undiluted Venus, the longest single sub-period anywhere in this nine-part cluster, since Venus carries the largest Vimshottari dasha-length of any planet and this is the one stretch where that number isn't shared with another lord.

Rahu Antardasha closes out the 16-year Jupiter Mahadasha, running 2 years, 4 months, 24 days as the ninth and final sub-period. The badge reads "Mixed & Moderate" because both planets' own tables independently call each other neutral, the second such genuine double-neutral in this cluster, and the classical Guru-Chandala combination named for this pair strictly requires a natal conjunction, not just a shared dasha window.

Mars Antardasha runs 11 months, 6 days within Jupiter Mahadasha, the eighth of nine sub-periods and tied for shortest with Ketu earlier in this cluster, and carries a "Naturally Supportive" badge that both planets' own tables genuinely agree on. Mars and Jupiter also sit in a rare mirror-image dignity relationship: each is exalted in exactly the sign where the other is debilitated.

Moon Antardasha runs a clean 1 year, 4 months within Jupiter Mahadasha, the seventh of nine sub-periods, and carries a "Naturally Supportive" badge because Jupiter's own table names the Moon a friend. The Moon's own table only offers neutral back, not because it holds anything against Jupiter, the Moon is the one planet in the whole system with zero declared enemies, and simply reserves true friendship for just two planets.
