Saturn Mahadasha Moon Antardasha
Lasts 1 year 7 months
Saturn Mahadasha sets the main subject for 19 years, and the Moon Antardasha colours it for 1 year 7 months. Saturn stands for discipline, delay, labour and long-term effort. Moon stands for mind, mother, public life and emotional security. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Saturn counts Moon as a natural enemy, so the sub-period can pull in a different direction from the Mahadasha theme and asks for some adjustment. This is the sixth of nine sub-periods in the Saturn 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, Saturn rules the 10th and 11th houses and Moon rules the 4th house. For Leo Moon, Saturn rules the 6th and 7th houses and 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.
