Direct answer
In the 20-year Venus mahadasha, the Moon antardasha lasts 1 year 8 months (20 × 10 ÷ 120 years) and arrives as sub-period 3 of 9, starting about 4 years 4 months in. By the BPHS natural-friendship table, Moon is a natural enemy of Venus, a classical friction signature — though chart-specific lordships can soften or override this.

Why this page won't tell you your future
Two people in the same Moon-in-Venus period can live opposite stories, because what each planet delivers is set by the houses it rules and occupies in the individual chart — not by the combination alone. The honest way to read this period is to compute your chart, see what Venus and Moon actually control for you, and verify the pattern against dated events from your own past before trusting forward-looking claims.
