Moon Mahadasha — Rahu Antardasha

The sub-period of Rahu within the 10-year Moon Mahadasha runs for 1 year 6 months. The results below are Sage Parashara's classical indications — how they manifest for you depends on the exact placement of Rahu and Moon in your individual birth chart.

Favourable indications

• When in Upachaya (3/6/10/11) with benefic aspect or Yogakaraka connection: success in all works
• Meeting with the king or authority in the south-west or westerly direction
• Gains of vehicles and fine clothes
• Success in chosen jobs and liking
• Pilgrimage to holy shrines and perception of deity
• Inclination towards benevolent, religious and pious deeds

Condition: Rahu in Upachaya houses (3, 6, 10, 11) conjunct or aspected by benefics or Yogakaraka planet; OR in Kendra/Trine/3rd/11th from lord of 10th house

Challenging placements

Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Rahu and Moon sit in your individual chart. If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.

Classical remedies

Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.

Timing and classical commentary

If Rahu is not connected with any Yogakaraka planet, this period will cause consistently distressing effects. Rahu's presence in the 10th house specifically enforces pilgrimage during its period.
