Moon Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha
Lasts 1 year 7 months
Moon Mahadasha sets the main subject for 10 years, and the Saturn Antardasha colours it for 1 year 7 months. Moon stands for mind, mother, public life and emotional security. Saturn stands for discipline, delay, labour and long-term effort. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Moon treats Saturn as a neutral, so the sub-period follows the houses involved more than any natural liking between the planets. This is the fifth of nine sub-periods in the Moon Mahadasha. As a middle sub-period, it tends to carry the main weight of the Mahadasha, when its themes are most visible.
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 and Saturn rules the 10th and 11th houses. For Leo Moon, Moon rules the 12th house and Saturn rules the 6th and 7th houses. 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.
