For a Cancer Moon, Jupiter Mahadasha runs 16 years and the Sun Antardasha is its sixth sub-period, lasting 9 months 18 days. Jupiter rules the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) and the 9th (fortune, father and dharma) from a Cancer Moon. Jupiter is a mixed lord: its trikona house tends to support luck, learning and merit, while its 6th house asks for effort and adjustment.
Sun rules the 2nd (family, savings and speech) from a Cancer Moon. Sun rules neither a kendra, a trikona nor a dusthana here, so its results lean on its placement more than on its lordship, and its link to the 2nd house also touches savings or gains. Jupiter regards Sun as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. Pressure houses and gain houses are mixed together here, so effort and reward tend to arrive side by side.
A Cancer Moon tends to feel things deeply and puts home and security first. Jupiter and Sun are both friends to Moon, the lord of Cancer. For a Cancer Moon, Jupiter-Sun leans supportive on paper, with the caveat that strength, aspects and transits in your own chart decide how much of that shows up.

What your own chart decides
- Where Sun 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.
- The strength of Jupiter and Sun in your chart: sign dignity, conjunctions and aspects. A well-placed lord tends to deliver its houses cleanly, while a weak one gives slower or uneven results.
- 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.
