Sun Mahadasha Jupiter Antardasha

Lasts 9 months 18 days

Sun Mahadasha sets the main subject for 6 years, and the Jupiter Antardasha colours it for 9 months 18 days. Sun stands for authority, father, government and self-respect. Jupiter stands for wisdom, children, teachers and expansion. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.

Sun regards Jupiter as a friend, so the sub-period usually supports what the Mahadasha is building. This is the fifth of nine sub-periods in the Sun 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, Sun rules the 5th house and Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th houses. For Leo Moon, Sun rules the 1st house 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.
