Mars Mahadasha for Capricorn (Makar) Moon Sign
For Capricorn Moon (Chandra Lagna), Mars is the 4th + 11th house lord. The Bhavat Bhavam of those houses adds the 7th + 9th house, so the combined active set during this Mahadasha is 4th + 7th + 9th + 11th counted FROM your Moon.
These active houses pull the Mars period toward mother & property, marriage & partners, dharma & fortune, gains & desires on the emotional, family and mind axis (the natural domain of Chandra Lagna). The planet's own karaka, energy, courage, siblings, blend with those house themes.
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 Capricorn Moon, this page captures the Chandra Lagna view.
