For a Leo Moon, Jupiter Mahadasha runs 16 years and the Sun Antardasha is its sixth sub-period, lasting 9 months 18 days. Jupiter rules the 5th (children, intellect and romance) and the 8th (sudden change, research and hidden matters) from a Leo Moon. Jupiter is a mixed lord: its trikona house tends to support luck, learning and merit, while its 8th house asks for effort and adjustment.
Sun rules the 1st (self and mind) from a Leo Moon. The 1st house is the Moon sign itself and counts as both a kendra and a trikona, so classical texts treat Sun as a supportive lord for a Leo Moon. Jupiter regards Sun as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. A kendra lord paired with a trikona lord is read in classical texts as a supportive link, often called a raja yoga flavour, when the chart agrees.
A Leo Moon tends to want recognition and to lead from the front. Sun is the lord of your Moon sign, which ties this sub-period closely to your mind and sense of self. Jupiter, the Mahadasha lord, is a friend to Sun. For a Leo 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.
