For a Capricorn Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Mars Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 4 months 6 days. Sun rules the 8th (sudden change, research and hidden matters) from a Capricorn Moon. The 8th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Sun tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease.
Mars rules the 4th (home, mother and peace of mind) and the 11th (gains and network) from a Capricorn Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Mars weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart, and its link to the 11th house also touches savings or gains. Sun regards Mars as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. Pressure houses and gain houses are mixed together here, so effort and reward tend to arrive side by side.
A Capricorn Moon tends to take duty seriously and think about long-term results. Sun is an enemy to Saturn, the lord of Capricorn, and Mars is neutral to Saturn. Sun-Mars reads as mixed for a Capricorn Moon: some openings and some effort, with the balance set by your own chart.

What your own chart decides
- Where Mars sits counted from Sun 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.
- The strength of Sun and Mars in your chart: sign dignity, conjunctions and aspects. A well-placed lord tends to deliver its houses cleanly, while a weak one gives slower or uneven results.
- 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.
