Saturn Mahadasha Jupiter Antardasha
Lasts 2 years 6 months 12 days
Saturn Mahadasha sets the main subject for 19 years, and the Jupiter Antardasha colours it for 2 years 6 months 12 days. Saturn stands for discipline, delay, labour and long-term effort. Jupiter stands for wisdom, children, teachers and expansion. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Saturn treats Jupiter as a neutral, so the sub-period follows the houses involved more than any natural liking between the planets. This is the ninth of nine sub-periods in the Saturn 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, Saturn rules the 10th and 11th houses and Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th houses. For Leo Moon, Saturn rules the 6th and 7th 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.
