Jupiter Mahadasha — Mars Antardasha

The sub-period of Mars 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 Mars and Jupiter in your individual birth chart.

Favourable indications

• Marriage ceremony; acquisition of land and village
• Gain of the strength of the masses; success in all pursuits
• Mars in Angle/Trine/11th/2nd from Jupiter, aspected/conjunct benefics: gain of wealth/prosperity/assets, sweet food, profit through royal affection, comforts of wife and children, pilgrimage
• Extreme happiness in the SECOND HALF of the antardasha timing)

Condition: Mars in Angle/Trine, exaltation, own sign, or own/exalted Navamsa; Mars in Angle/Trine/11th/2nd from Jupiter, aspected/conjunct benefics

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 Mars 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

Timing split: the FIRST HALF of the antardasha is difficult, while the SECOND HALF brings extreme happiness.

Difficulties surface particularly when the antardasha and Mahadasha lords are 6th/8th/12th to each other.

Example 47 (negative, DOB 28-12-1954): Mars and Jupiter were 6th/8th to each other. During the Mars sub-period in the Jupiter Mahadasha the native suffered loss of prestige, mental distress and a change of place — a youth attempted to molest his wife, she resisted, but the neighbours sided with the youth and blamed the native, who faced allegations. He suffered tremendous humiliation and was forced to sell his house and settle in another town, all during the Mars antardasha.
