Jupiter Mahadasha Mars Antardasha
Lasts 11 months 6 days
Jupiter Mahadasha sets the main subject for 16 years, and the Mars Antardasha colours it for 11 months 6 days. Jupiter stands for wisdom, children, teachers and expansion. Mars stands for energy, property, siblings and drive. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Jupiter counts Mars as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. This is the eighth of nine sub-periods in the Jupiter Mahadasha. As a late sub-period, it tends to consolidate what the Mahadasha has built and prepare the ground for the next dasha.
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 and Mars rules the 1st and 8th houses. For Leo Moon, Jupiter rules the 5th and 8th houses and Mars rules the 4th and 9th 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.
