Jupiter mahadasha
16 years of the 120-year vimshottari cycle
Growth and grace. Teachers, children, wealth and recognition expand; the classic caution is overextension and self-righteousness.
Sub-periods
Every mahadasha divides into nine antardashas in the same planetary order, starting with the mahadasha lord's own — so a Jupiter mahadasha opens with Jupiter–Jupiter, its most concentrated stretch. Each antardasha's length is proportional: the Jupiter–X antardasha runs 16 × X's years ÷ 120.
