For a Scorpio 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 1st (self and mind) and the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) from a Scorpio Moon. The 1st house is the Moon sign itself and counts as both a kendra and a trikona, so classical texts treat Mars as a supportive lord for a Scorpio Moon, even though its 6th house adds some effort and adjustment. 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 Scorpio Moon tends to feel intensely and keep real thoughts private. Mars is the lord of your Moon sign, which ties this sub-period closely to your mind and sense of self. Ketu, the Mahadasha lord, is a friend to Mars. For a Scorpio Moon, Ketu-Mars brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.
Life areas
Career

Money
Neither lord rules the 2nd or 11th from Scorpio Moon, so savings and income are shaped more by where Ketu and Mars sit in your chart than by lordship. Ketu sets the tone with detachment from money and occasional sudden shifts in income streams, and Mars adds earning through effort and property, with a habit of spending fast.
Relationships
Neither lord rules the 7th or 5th from Scorpio Moon, so partnership and romance are shaped more by where Ketu and Mars sit in your chart than by lordship. Ketu sets the tone with distance, detachment and a pull toward solitude in bonds, and Mars adds passion and directness, along with a short temper to watch.
Health and energy
Mars rules the 1st and 6th from Scorpio Moon, which puts energy and daily health routines directly in play during this sub-period. Ketu sets the tone with a need to rest, simplify and look after the mind and body, and Mars adds high energy that needs exercise and rest in balance.
Family
Neither lord rules the 4th or 2nd from Scorpio Moon, so home and family life are shaped more by where Ketu and Mars sit in your chart than by lordship. Ketu sets the tone with a looser tie to family expectations, and Mars adds dealings with siblings and family property.
Spiritual life
Neither lord rules the 9th or 12th from Scorpio Moon, so faith, learning and inner life are shaped more by where Ketu and Mars sit in your chart than by lordship. Ketu sets the tone with a strong pull toward meditation, retreat and letting go, and Mars adds discipline-led practice such as fitness, service or ritual.
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.

Why can Ketu-Mars feel different for two people with Scorpio Moon?
