Venus Mahadasha Saturn Antardasha
Lasts 3 years 2 months
Venus Mahadasha sets the main subject for 20 years, and the Saturn Antardasha colours it for 3 years 2 months. Venus stands for relationships, comfort, the arts and vehicles. Saturn stands for discipline, delay, labour and long-term effort. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Venus counts Saturn as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. This is the seventh of nine sub-periods in the Venus Mahadasha. As a late sub-period, it tends to consolidate what the Mahadasha has built and prepare the ground for the next dasha.
Which life areas this sub-period touches depends on your Moon sign, because the houses each planet rules change with it. For Aries Moon, Venus rules the 2nd and 7th houses and Saturn rules the 10th and 11th houses. For Leo Moon, Venus rules the 3rd and 10th houses and Saturn rules the 6th and 7th houses. Your own chart, with its placements, aspects and transits, decides how this plays out. Pick your Moon sign below for a version tailored to it.
