For a Leo Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Mars Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 4 months 6 days. Sun rules the 1st (self and mind) from a Leo Moon. The 1st house is the Moon sign itself and counts as both a kendra and a trikona, so classical texts treat Sun as a supportive lord for a Leo Moon.
Mars rules the 4th (home, mother and peace of mind) and the 9th (fortune, father and dharma) from a Leo Moon. Mars is the yogakaraka for Leo Moon, ruling both a kendra and a trikona, which classical texts treat as the marker of a planet that tends to support stability and progress. Sun regards Mars as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. A kendra lord paired with a trikona lord is read in classical texts as a supportive link, often called a raja yoga flavour, when the chart agrees.
A Leo Moon tends to want recognition and to lead from the front. Sun is the lord of your Moon sign, which ties this Mahadasha closely to your mind and sense of self. Mars, the sub-period lord, is a friend to Sun. For a Leo Moon, Sun-Mars leans supportive on paper, with the caveat that strength, aspects and transits in your own chart decide how much of that shows up.

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.
- Whether the yogakaraka Mars is well placed in your chart. A yogakaraka away from the 6th, 8th and 12th and free of heavy affliction tends to deliver the support its lordship promises.
- 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.
