Mercury Mahadasha (17 Years) — Results, Antardasha Order & Remedies

The flavour of the mahadasha

In the Vimshottari order Mercury's mahadasha runs 17 years, colouring life with intellect, speech and trade. The houses Mercury owns and occupies in your chart become the main chapters of these years; the opening antardasha (Mercury's own) unfolds the theme gradually.

Well-placed vs afflicted

A strong Mercury owning kendra-trikona houses makes its dasha a season of rise; tied to the trik (6-8-12) or combust-debilitated-afflicted, the same years become a season of testing. The dasha is therefore read from Mercury's condition in your chart, not from its name — see your dasha table and Mercury's placement together in the free kundali.

Antardasha order and spans

Within the mahadasha the nine antardashas run in this order (span = MD-years × AD-years ÷ 120):

Mercury-Mercury: 2y 5m

Mercury-Ketu: 1y

Mercury-Venus: 2y 10m

Mercury-Sun: 10m

Mercury-Moon: 1y 5m

Mercury-Mars: 1y

Mercury-Rahu: 2y 7m

Each pair's detailed result has its own page in this encyclopedia's Mercury-antardasha series.

Remedies

Traditional support in Mercury's periods: chant “Om Bum Budhaya Namah”, donate moong-green cloth on Wednesday, Ganesha-vandana. Take up its gemstone only after a chart reading — only when Mercury is a benefic for you.
