For a Cancer Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Saturn Antardasha is its sixth sub-period, lasting 11 months 12 days. Sun rules the 2nd (family, savings and speech) from a Cancer Moon. Sun rules neither a kendra, a trikona nor a dusthana here, so its results lean on its placement more than on its lordship, and its link to the 2nd house also touches savings or gains.
Saturn rules the 7th (partners, marriage and business partnerships) and the 8th (sudden change, research and hidden matters) from a Cancer Moon. Saturn combines a kendra house, which gives it weight in visible life, with a dusthana house (8th) that asks for effort and adjustment. Sun regards Saturn as an enemy, so there can be friction between the dasha's main theme and this sub-period, which is usually handled with patience and clear priorities. Pressure houses and gain houses are mixed together here, so effort and reward tend to arrive side by side.
A Cancer Moon tends to feel things deeply and puts home and security first. Sun is a friend to Moon, the lord of Cancer, and Saturn is an enemy to Moon. For a Cancer Moon, Sun-Saturn leans toward effort and adjustment, which usually pays off through consistency rather than speed.

What your own chart decides
- Where Saturn 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 Saturn 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.
