Chandra (Moon) mahadasha
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Chandra (Moon) rules a 10-year mahadasha in the 120-year Vimshottari cycle. The Moon's nakshatra at birth decides which mahadasha you begin in, and the Moon's exact degree inside that nakshatra decides how much of it remains.
Chandra (the Moon) is the manakaraka, governing mind, mood and emotional safety. It rules Karka, is exalted in Vrishabha at 3° and debilitated in Vrishchika at 3°. Its mahadasha runs ten years. In Vedic astrology the Moon's nakshatra — the janma nakshatra — is the anchor of the whole chart reading.
During this period the chart tends to foreground mind, emotion, mother, comfort. Well supported: Emotionally steady without being closed. Under stress: Mood moves faster than circumstances warrant.
