A Sun Mahadasha with a Ketu Antardasha blends two forces in your career. The Sun major period sets the theme of authority, visibility, and recognition, while the Ketu sub-period flavors it with detachment, depth, and specialization.

What this period does to your career

When the two planets are friendly and well-placed in your chart, the combination is productive: authority and status carried out through mastery and depth. When they clash, the period can feel pulled in two directions, and the discipline is to honor the major theme while using the sub-period's flavor.
