For a Gemini Moon, Ketu Mahadasha runs 7 years and the Mars Antardasha is its fifth sub-period, lasting 4 months 27 days. 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.
Mars rules the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) and the 11th (gains and network) from a Gemini Moon. The 6th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Mars tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease, and its link to the 11th house also touches savings or gains. Ketu counts Mars as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. Ketu has no lordship of its own, so the mix depends on the houses and signs it connects to in your chart.
A Gemini Moon tends to think in many directions and needs variety and conversation. Ketu is neutral to Mercury, the lord of Gemini, and Mars is an enemy to Mercury. For a Gemini Moon, Ketu-Mars brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.

What your own chart decides
- Where Mars sits counted from Ketu 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.
