Jupiter Mahadasha Jupiter Antardasha
Lasts 2 years 1 month 18 days
Jupiter Mahadasha runs 16 years, and its first sub-period is Jupiter's own, lasting 2 years 1 month 18 days. It is calculated as 16 years × 16 years ÷ 120. The natural themes here are wisdom, children, teachers and expansion, shown at full strength because both layers are the same planet.
This is Jupiter's own sub-period inside its own Mahadasha, so the dasha's main themes are concentrated here. This is the first of nine sub-periods in the Jupiter Mahadasha. As an early sub-period, it tends to set up the themes the rest of the Mahadasha builds on.
Which life areas this sub-period touches depends on your Moon sign, because the houses each planet rules change with it. For Aries Moon, Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th houses. For Leo Moon, Jupiter rules the 5th and 8th houses. Your own chart, with its placements, aspects and transits, decides how this plays out. Pick your Moon sign below for a version tailored to it.
