For a Scorpio Moon, Ketu Mahadasha runs 7 years and the Sun Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 4 months 6 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.
Sun rules the 10th (career and status) from a Scorpio Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Sun weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart. Ketu regards Sun as an enemy, so there can be friction between the dasha's main theme and this sub-period, which is usually handled with patience and clear priorities. 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 and Sun are both friends to Mars, the lord of Scorpio. Ketu-Sun asks for more effort than ease for a Scorpio Moon, so it tends to reward patience, planning and steady work over quick results.

What your own chart decides
- Where Sun 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.
