For a Sagittarius Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Mars Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 4 months 6 days. Sun rules the 9th (fortune, father and dharma) from a Sagittarius Moon. Ruling a trikona makes Sun a natural supporter of luck, learning and merit for this Moon sign.
Mars rules the 5th (children, intellect and romance) and the 12th (expenses, foreign lands and retreat) from a Sagittarius Moon. Mars is a mixed lord: its trikona house tends to support luck, learning and merit, while its 12th house asks for effort and adjustment. Sun regards Mars as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. One of the two lords touches a dusthana, so some of the period is spent on effort, repair or adjustment.
A Sagittarius Moon tends to want freedom, meaning and room to explore. Sun and Mars are both friends to Jupiter, the lord of Sagittarius. For a Sagittarius 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.
- 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.
