Lasts 11 months 6 days · inside a 16-year Jupiter Mahadasha
Active houses, counted from your Libra Moon
- Jupiter (Mahadasha lord) rules
- House 3 (effort, siblings and courage), House 6 (work pressure, debts and daily routines)
- Ketu (Antardasha lord) rules
- None: a shadow planet owns no sign
- How Jupiter regards Ketu
- Neutral, by natural relationship
For a Libra Moon, Jupiter Mahadasha runs 16 years and the Ketu Antardasha is its fourth sub-period, lasting 11 months 6 days. Jupiter rules the 3rd (effort, siblings and courage) and the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) from a Libra Moon. The 6th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Jupiter tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease.
Ketu owns no sign, so it acts through the sign it occupies and that sign's lord, which only your own chart shows. Because Ketu has no house of its own here, its results come through detachment, spirituality, research and sudden cuts, coloured by wherever it sits for you. Jupiter treats Ketu as a neutral, so the sub-period follows the houses involved more than any natural liking between the planets. Ketu has no lordship of its own, so the mix depends on the houses and signs it connects to in your chart.
A Libra Moon tends to seek balance, fairness and agreement with others. Jupiter is an enemy to Venus, the lord of Libra, and Ketu is a friend to Venus. Jupiter-Ketu reads as mixed for a Libra Moon: some openings and some effort, with the balance set by your own chart.
Life areas
Career
Jupiter rules the 6th from Libra Moon, so career and daily work are part of the larger Mahadasha theme, and Ketu influences when it comes to the surface. Jupiter sets the tone with growth, advisory or teaching roles, and wider responsibility, and Ketu adds withdrawal from showy goals and interest in research or specialist work.
Money
Neither lord rules the 2nd or 11th from Libra Moon, so savings and income are shaped more by where Jupiter and Ketu sit in your chart than by lordship. Jupiter sets the tone with a gradual rise in income and savings through trust, knowledge and mentors, and Ketu adds detachment from money and occasional sudden shifts in income streams.
Relationships
Neither lord rules the 7th or 5th from Libra Moon, so partnership and romance are shaped more by where Jupiter and Ketu sit in your chart than by lordship. Jupiter sets the tone with goodwill, shared values and commitment, and Ketu adds distance, detachment and a pull toward solitude in bonds.
Health and energy
Jupiter rules the 6th from Libra Moon, so energy and daily health routines are part of the larger Mahadasha theme, and Ketu influences when it comes to the surface. Jupiter sets the tone with balance in food and routine, since expansion can overshoot, and Ketu adds a need to rest, simplify and look after the mind and body.
Family
Neither lord rules the 4th or 2nd from Libra Moon, so home and family life are shaped more by where Jupiter and Ketu sit in your chart than by lordship. Jupiter sets the tone with children, family growth and guidance from elders, and Ketu adds a looser tie to family expectations.
Spiritual life
Neither lord rules the 9th or 12th from Libra Moon, so faith, learning and inner life are shaped more by where Jupiter and Ketu sit in your chart than by lordship. Jupiter sets the tone with teachers, scripture and a search for meaning, and Ketu adds a strong pull toward meditation, retreat and letting go.
What your own chart decides
- Where Ketu sits counted from Jupiter in your chart. Positions such as the 6th, 8th or 12th from each other usually ask for more adjustment than the 1st, 5th, 9th or 11th, and only your birth chart shows this.
- Where the node sits and who its dispositor is. Ketu has no sign of its own, so the sign, house and ruler it occupies decide most of what this period feels like.
- Your ascendant and the houses these planets actually occupy. This page counts from the Moon, and your lagna can give a different set of lordships, so both views are read together.
- Current transits. Astrika reads natal chart, dasha and transit together, and a period tends to show its results most clearly when all three agree. Remedies, if any, depend on your own chart, so none are listed here.
