Saturn Mahadasha Venus Antardasha
Lasts 3 years 2 months
Saturn Mahadasha sets the main subject for 19 years, and the Venus Antardasha colours it for 3 years 2 months. Saturn stands for discipline, delay, labour and long-term effort. Venus stands for relationships, comfort, the arts and vehicles. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Saturn counts Venus as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. This is the fourth 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 Venus rules the 2nd and 7th houses. For Leo Moon, Saturn rules the 6th and 7th houses and Venus rules the 3rd and 10th 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.
