- Ketu (Antardasha lord) rules
- None: a shadow planet owns no sign
- How Mars regards Ketu
- Friend, by natural relationship
For a Gemini Moon, Mars Mahadasha runs 7 years and the Ketu Antardasha is its sixth sub-period, lasting 4 months 27 days. 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 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 counts Ketu 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. Mars is an enemy to Mercury, the lord of Gemini, and Ketu is neutral to Mercury. For a Gemini Moon, Mars-Ketu brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.
Life areas
Career
Mars rules the 6th from Gemini Moon, so career and daily work are part of the larger Mahadasha theme, and Ketu influences when it comes to the surface.

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