Guru Mahadasha: Understanding & removing the ill effects of it

Everyone wants prosperity, comfort, progress, fame, and the satisfaction of their hard work in today's materialistic environment. On the other hand, Vedic Astrology argues that the solar system's celestial bodies have a significant impact on our lives and that their positioning in our natal chart acts as a guide for our whole existence. Jupiter is one such substantial planet.

Significance of Guru Mahadasha

Jupiter, often referred to as ‘Dev Guru’ or ‘Brihaspati’ in Jyotish, is revered as the gods' advisor. Being the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is linked to growth, understanding, prosperity, and wisdom. As the son of Maharishi Angira and the priest of the gods, Jupiter symbolises personal development, expansion, and spirituality. It is in charge of the ninth house, which is related to philosophy, intellectual learning, and religion.

In Vedic astrology, ‘Guru Mahadasha" describes the 16-year period in a person's natal chart when Jupiter is the dominant planet, impacting many faces of life. Opportunities, wealth, spirituality, social standing, divine grace, intelligence, and knowledge are all indicated by a strong Jupiter placement. On the other hand, a malefic placement can cause a number of health issues as well as interfere with intelligence, higher education, and the acquisition of knowledge.

Ill-effects of Guru Mahadasha
