Jupiter Mahadasha (16 Years) — Results, Antardasha Order & Remedies
The flavour of the mahadasha
In the Vimshottari order Jupiter's mahadasha runs 16 years, colouring life with expansion, wisdom and grace. The houses Jupiter owns and occupies in your chart become the main chapters of these years; the opening antardasha (Jupiter's own) unfolds the theme gradually.
Well-placed vs afflicted
A strong Jupiter 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 Jupiter's condition in your chart, not from its name — see your dasha table and Jupiter'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):
Jupiter-Jupiter: 2y 2m
Jupiter-Saturn: 2y 6m
Jupiter-Mercury: 2y 3m
Jupiter-Ketu: 11m
Jupiter-Venus: 2y 8m
Jupiter-Sun: 10m
Jupiter-Moon: 1y 4m
Jupiter-Mars: 11m
Jupiter-Rahu: 2y 5m
Each pair's detailed result has its own page in this encyclopedia's Jupiter-antardasha series.
Remedies
Traditional support in Jupiter's periods: chant “Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah”, donate chana-dal and yellow cloth on Thursday, serve one's guru. Take up its gemstone only after a chart reading — only when Jupiter is a benefic for you.
