For a Scorpio Moon, Ketu Mahadasha runs 7 years and the Saturn Antardasha is its eighth sub-period, lasting 1 year 1 month 9 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.
Saturn rules the 3rd (effort, siblings and courage) and the 4th (home, mother and peace of mind) from a Scorpio Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Saturn weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart. Ketu counts Saturn 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. Ketu is a friend to Mars, the lord of Scorpio, and Saturn is an enemy to Mars. For a Scorpio Moon, Ketu-Saturn brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.

Ketu sets the tone with detachment from money and occasional sudden shifts in income streams, and Saturn adds disciplined saving and delayed but lasting gains.
Relationships
Neither lord rules the 7th or 5th from Scorpio Moon, so partnership and romance are shaped more by where Ketu and Saturn sit in your chart than by lordship.

What your own chart decides
- Where Saturn 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.
