Moon Mahadasha Moon Antardasha
Lasts 10 months
Moon Mahadasha runs 10 years, and its first sub-period is Moon's own, lasting 10 months. It is calculated as 10 years × 10 years ÷ 120. The natural themes here are mind, mother, public life and emotional security, shown at full strength because both layers are the same planet.
This is Moon's own sub-period inside its own Mahadasha, so the dasha's main themes are concentrated here. This is the first of nine sub-periods in the Moon Mahadasha. As an early sub-period, it tends to set up the themes the rest of the Mahadasha builds on.
Which life areas this sub-period touches depends on your Moon sign, because the houses each planet rules change with it. For Aries Moon, Moon rules the 4th house. For Leo Moon, Moon rules the 12th house. Your own chart, with its placements, aspects and transits, decides how this plays out. Pick your Moon sign below for a version tailored to it.
