For a Sagittarius Moon, Mercury Mahadasha runs 17 years and the Venus Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 2 years 10 months. Mercury rules the 7th (partners, marriage and business partnerships) and the 10th (career and status) from a Sagittarius Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Mercury weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart.
Venus rules the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) and the 11th (gains and network) from a Sagittarius Moon. The 6th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Venus tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease, and its link to the 11th house also touches savings or gains. Mercury counts Venus as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. Pressure houses and gain houses are mixed together here, so effort and reward tend to arrive side by side.
A Sagittarius Moon tends to want freedom, meaning and room to explore. Mercury and Venus are both neutral to Jupiter, the lord of Sagittarius. Mercury-Venus reads as mixed for a Sagittarius Moon: some openings and some effort, with the balance set by your own chart.

Career

Money

Mercury sets the tone with income from skills, trade and contracts, and careful money management, and Venus adds spending on comfort and vehicles, and income through the arts or partners.
Relationships

Family
Neither lord rules the 4th or 2nd from Sagittarius Moon, so home and family life are shaped more by where Mercury and Venus sit in your chart than by lordship. Mercury sets the tone with talk and shared decisions with siblings and relatives, and Venus adds warmth, shared pleasures and harmony at home.
Spiritual life
Neither lord rules the 9th or 12th from Sagittarius Moon, so faith, learning and inner life are shaped more by where Mercury and Venus sit in your chart than by lordship.

What your own chart decides
- Where Venus sits counted from Mercury 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.
- The strength of Mercury and Venus in your chart: sign dignity, conjunctions and aspects. A well-placed lord tends to deliver its houses cleanly, while a weak one gives slower or uneven results.
- 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.
