Jupiter Mahadasha Venus Antardasha
Lasts 2 years 8 months
Jupiter Mahadasha sets the main subject for 16 years, and the Venus Antardasha colours it for 2 years 8 months. Jupiter stands for wisdom, children, teachers and expansion. Venus stands for relationships, comfort, the arts and vehicles. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Jupiter counts Venus as a natural enemy, so the sub-period can pull in a different direction from the Mahadasha theme and asks for some adjustment. This is the fifth of nine sub-periods in the Jupiter Mahadasha. As a middle sub-period, it tends to carry the main weight of the Mahadasha, when its themes are most visible.
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 Venus rules the 2nd and 7th houses. For Leo Moon, Jupiter rules the 5th and 8th houses and Venus rules the 3rd and 10th 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.
