Mangal (Mars) mahadasha
7 years
Mangal's mahadasha is a time of energy and courage. The strength to fight through obstacles grows; work tied to land, technology and physical effort picks up pace. Anger and haste are this period's tests — where the energy finds the right direction, this dasha is considered one that moves you forward.
