Surya (Sun) Mahadasha — Chandra (Moon) Antardasha
Inside the 6-year Surya (Sun) mahadasha, the Chandra (Moon) antardasha runs for 6 months as sub-period 2 of 9. Emotionally coloured months — home, mother, the public and inner peace dominate. The two lords are natural friends, so the sub-period tends to flow WITH the mahadasha theme — efforts compound rather than collide.
Classical basis: the Vimshottari sub-period rule of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra — the antardasha spans (mahadasha years × antardasha lord’s years) ÷ 120, sub-periods run in the fixed order from the mahadasha lord, and the fruit is judged by the two lords’ mutual relation and the antardasha lord’s dignity in the birth chart.
