Active houses, counted from your Leo Moon

- How Sun regards Moon
- Friend, by natural relationship
For a Leo Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Moon Antardasha is its second sub-period, lasting 6 months. 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.
Moon rules the 12th (expenses, foreign lands and retreat) from a Leo Moon. The 12th house is a house of effort, change or expense, so Moon tends to ask for work and adjustment rather than hand out ease. Sun regards Moon 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 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. Moon, the sub-period lord, is a friend to Sun. For a Leo Moon, Sun-Moon brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.

Career

What your own chart decides
- Where Moon 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 Moon 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.
