The sub-period of Rahu within the 16-year Jupiter Mahadasha runs for 2 years 4.8 months. The results below are Sage Parashara's classical indications — how they manifest for you depends on the exact placement of Rahu and Jupiter in your individual birth chart.
Condition: Rahu in own/exaltation/Moolatrikona sign, or in Angle/Trine from the Ascendant, conjunct the Angle lord, or aspected/conjunct benefics
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 Rahu 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.
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.

The signature difficult health result is an epilepsy/fainting-like disease — numbness or fainting of short duration.
