Jupiter Mahadasha — Ketu Antardasha

The sub-period of Ketu within the 16-year Jupiter Mahadasha runs for 11.2 months. The results below are Sage Parashara's classical indications — how they manifest for you depends on the exact placement of Ketu and Jupiter in your individual birth chart.

Favourable indications

• Moderate comforts and gain of wealth (modest — even the favorable result is limited)
• Subsistence partly on donated/charitable food; food often insipid and of coarse grains
• Ketu in 5th/9th/4th/10th from Jupiter: palanquin (luxurious vehicle), elephants, horses and clothes
• Fulfillment of ambitious plans with the king's grace; heavy business profits and wealth gain
• Cows and buffaloes; wealth and clothes received from a Greek (Yavana / foreign-overseas) king

Condition: Ketu in 5th/9th/4th/10th from Jupiter; Ketu conjunct benefic planets

Challenging placements

Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Ketu and Jupiter sit in your individual chart. If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.

Classical remedies

Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.

Timing and classical commentary

Even the "favorable" Ketu result is modest — moderate comforts only, with poor food quality. This sub-period rarely produces grand material results even at its best.

The favorable placement of Ketu from Jupiter (5th/9th/4th/10th) brings vehicles, elephants/horses and state gains, including wealth and clothes received from a Greek (Yavana) king — indicating foreign / overseas gains.
