Antardasha 1 of 9 in Moon mahadasha · 10 mo
Moon-Moon antardasha चंद्र-चंद्र अंतर्दशा
Moon-Moon opens the mahadasha and lasts ten months. It is the most concentrated stretch, when the Moon's themes arrive undiluted: emotions, mother, home, and public dealings. Tradition expects a change of residence or its serious consideration, travel, gains through the public or through liquids and food, and heightened sensitivity. For a well-placed Moon this is peaceful and popular; for an afflicted one it brings anxiety and sleeplessness. Domestic matters set the tone.

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 Moon adds as sub-lord
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. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Moon owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Moon's themes for 10 mo. See Moon as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Moon runs 10 years and Moon runs 10 years in the 120-year cycle, so Moon-Moon lasts 10 × 10 ÷ 120 = 0.833 years, about 10 mo. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
