Jupiter Mahadasha

16 YEARS · BRIHAT PARASHARA HORA SHASTRA

Jupiter is the natural significator of Dharma — fortune, fructification of efforts, Brahmins, learning, children and religious preceptors. It is the 9th house lord of the Kaalpurusha (natural zodiac).

Generally the most auspicious of the nine Mahadashas, but its sub-periods are heavily modified by house lordship, Navamsa/Dashamsa placement and Ascendant context.

How house lordship shapes this period

  • Jupiter as 9th lord → great knowledge, contact with learned/pious/religious preceptors, rise in fortune.
  • Jupiter as 4th lord → herds of cows/buffaloes, vehicles, new mansion, reputation in society.
  • Jupiter as 10th lord → highly acclaimed royal regard, elevated position, political reckoning, festivities at home.
  • Jupiter as 2nd/11th lord → special results of acquiring money and material comforts.
  • Jupiter as 7th+10th lord → many marriage functions.
  • Jupiter as Ascendant+4th lord → native well-composed, full of vigour and vitality, solace and comforts.
