Mars Mahadasha Jupiter Antardasha
Lasts 11 months 6 days
Mars Mahadasha sets the main subject for 7 years, and the Jupiter Antardasha colours it for 11 months 6 days. Mars stands for energy, property, siblings and drive. Jupiter stands for wisdom, children, teachers and expansion. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Mars counts Jupiter as a natural friend, so this sub-period tends to work with the Mahadasha's main theme instead of against it. This is the third of nine sub-periods in the Mars 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, Mars rules the 1st and 8th houses and Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th houses. For Leo Moon, Mars rules the 4th and 9th houses and 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.
