- None: a shadow planet owns no sign
- How Moon regards Rahu
- Enemy, by natural relationship
For a Sagittarius Moon, Moon Mahadasha runs 10 years and the Rahu Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 1 year 6 months. Moon rules the 8th (sudden change, research and hidden matters) from a Sagittarius Moon. The 8th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Moon tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease.
Rahu owns no sign, so it acts through the sign it occupies and that sign's lord, which only your own chart shows. Because Rahu has no house of its own here, its results come through ambition, foreign links, unconventional paths and obsession, coloured by wherever it sits for you. Moon regards Rahu 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. Rahu has no lordship of its own, so the mix depends on the houses and signs it connects to in your chart.
A Sagittarius Moon tends to want freedom, meaning and room to explore. Moon and Rahu are both neutral to Jupiter, the lord of Sagittarius. For a Sagittarius Moon, Moon-Rahu leans toward effort and adjustment, which usually pays off through consistency rather than speed.

Career
Neither lord rules the 10th or 6th from Sagittarius Moon, so career and daily work are shaped more by where Moon and Rahu sit in your chart than by lordship.

Money
Neither lord rules the 2nd or 11th from Sagittarius Moon, so savings and income are shaped more by where Moon and Rahu sit in your chart than by lordship.

What your own chart decides
- Where Rahu sits counted from Moon 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. Rahu 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.
