Antardasha 2 of 9 in Moon mahadasha · 7 mo
Moon-Mars antardasha चंद्र-मंगल अंतर्दशा
Moon-Mars lasts seven months. Mars counts the Moon as a friend, and the Moon is neutral toward Mars, so the relationship is warm from one side. Tradition reads the pairing as energetic: property decisions, disputes with siblings or in the home, and a sharp rise in initiative. Blood-related complaints and accidents from impatience are classical cautions. Gains through land, engineering, or competitive fields are listed. Emotions run hot and quick.

The mahadasha behind it
Moon mahadasha is a ten year period that tradition associates with the mind, the mother, home, the public, and emotional life. After the sharp Sun period it feels softer and more receptive, with attention shifting from position to well-being. Classical texts read a strong Moon as bringing popularity, domestic happiness, and travel, while a weak Moon brings restlessness, anxiety, and instability of residence. Read the full Moon mahadasha.
What Mars adds as sub-lord
Mars mahadasha is a seven year period that tradition associates with energy, courage, competition, property, and siblings. After the receptive Moon period it feels abrupt and active, with a strong pull toward decisive action. Classical texts read a strong Mars as bringing achievement through effort and gains in land or technical fields, while a weak or afflicted Mars brings disputes, accidents, and conflict with brothers or authority. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Mars owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Moon's themes for 7 mo. See Mars as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Moon runs 10 years and Mars runs 7 years in the 120-year cycle, so Moon-Mars lasts 10 × 7 ÷ 120 = 0.583 years, about 7 mo. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
