Antardasha 6 of 9 in Saturn mahadasha · 1 yr 7 mo
Saturn-Moon antardasha शनि-चंद्र अंतर्दशा
Saturn-Moon lasts one year and seven months. Saturn counts the Moon as an enemy, though the Moon holds no enmity, and tradition reads the pairing as emotionally heavy: low mood, isolation, worry about the mother or home, and a sense of carrying more than one's share. Changes of residence forced by circumstance are listed. Dealings with the public are slow. Routine, rest, and modest expectations are the classical advice.

The mahadasha behind it
Saturn mahadasha is a nineteen year period that tradition associates with discipline, labour, delay, responsibility, and the slow building of what lasts. After the expansive Jupiter period it feels heavier and more demanding. Classical texts read a strong Saturn as bringing authority earned through service and durable achievement, while a weak or afflicted Saturn brings hardship, isolation, chronic health strain, and loss.

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 Saturn's themes for 1 yr 7 mo. See Moon as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Saturn runs 19 years and Moon runs 10 years in the 120-year cycle, so Saturn-Moon lasts 19 × 10 ÷ 120 = 1.583 years, about 1 yr 7 mo. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
