Guru (Jupiter) mahadasha
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Guru (Jupiter) rules a 16-year mahadasha in the 120-year Vimshottari cycle. The Moon's nakshatra at birth decides which mahadasha you begin in, and the Moon's exact degree inside that nakshatra decides how much of it remains.
Guru (Jupiter) is the great benefic, signifying wisdom, expansion and guidance. It rules Dhanu and Meena, is exalted in Karka at 5° and debilitated in Makara at 5°. Its mahadasha runs sixteen years, the second longest. Guru's house placement shows where growth comes easily and where a person naturally teaches.
During this period the chart tends to foreground wisdom, expansion, faith, teaching. Well supported: Genuine perspective rather than borrowed opinion. Under stress: Expansion without discrimination.
