Ketu Mahadasha for Leo (Simha) Moon Sign
Ketu is a shadow planet without natural rulership, so for Leo Moon the Mahadasha is read entirely from the house and nakshatra it actually occupies from the Moon in your birth chart.
Ketu's themes during this Mahadasha still reflect its natural karaka of moksha, detachment, spirituality, expressed through the house and sign it sits in from your Moon.
Why we also read from the Moon: classical Vedic dasha analysis evaluates results from BOTH the Lagna (body, identity) AND the Chandra Lagna (mind, family, public life). A Mahadasha that looks neutral from the Lagna can be a peak phase from the Moon, and vice versa. For Leo Moon, this page captures the Chandra Lagna view.
