Moon Mahadasha
The Moon Mahadasha lasts 10 years. Tradition associates it with mind, emotions, home life, and the mother.
What the period is about
Areas of life most often discussed for this period: mind, emotions, mother, home, travel. How it actually plays out depends on where Moon sits in your own chart - its sign, house, strength and the houses it rules - which is why two people in the same Mahadasha can describe very different years.
