How long it lasts

The Moon mahadasha lasts 10 years. Antardasha = 10×16/120 = 160/120 = 1.333333 years, i.e. about 1 year, 4 months.

Here 1 year = 365.25 days.

The order of the antardashas

The Moon mahadasha opens with Moon's own antardasha (BPHS ch. 51: the first antardasha belongs to the dasha lord), then the planets follow in Vimshottari order: Moon → Mars → Rahu → Jupiter → Saturn → Mercury → Ketu → Venus → Sun. The Jupiter antardasha is the fourth in this sequence and begins 2 years, 11 months after the mahadasha starts.

What tradition holds

Tradition links the Moon mahadasha with the mind, feelings and home, and reads the Jupiter antardasha as adding a note of knowledge, guidance and dharma. Mind meets wisdom, linked with warmth, learning and trust. The real picture comes from the signs and houses of both planets in the chart.
