For a Scorpio Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Mars Antardasha is its third sub-period, lasting 4 months 6 days. Sun rules the 10th (career and status) from a Scorpio Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Sun weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart.
Mars rules the 1st (self and mind) and the 6th (work pressure, debts and daily routines) from a Scorpio Moon. The 1st house is the Moon sign itself and counts as both a kendra and a trikona, so classical texts treat Mars as a supportive lord for a Scorpio Moon, even though its 6th house adds some effort and adjustment. 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 Scorpio Moon tends to feel intensely and keep real thoughts private. Mars is the lord of your Moon sign, which ties this sub-period closely to your mind and sense of self. Sun, the Mahadasha lord, is a friend to Mars. Sun-Mars reads as mixed for a Scorpio 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.
