Guru (Jupiter) mahadasha for Vrishchika (Scorpio) Moon sign
16 years
About the Jupiter mahadasha
In the Vimshottari system a life moves through nine long periods, each ruled by one planet. The planet that rules the period sets the tone of those years: the areas of life that come forward, and the kind of effort that pays.
The Jupiter mahadasha lasts 16 years in full. Most people meet it partway through, so the part they live through can be shorter.
Jupiter stands for wisdom, teachers, children, growth and faith. Its period tends to widen life: learning, guidance, family growth and a stronger sense of meaning.
What it rules for Scorpio
Counted from Scorpio as the first house, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, your 2nd and 5th houses. During its period the matters of both come forward:
The 2nd house is money, savings, speech and family. Its lord's period tends to bring attention to earning and saving, to what you say and how, and to the family you live with.
The 5th house is children, study, creativity and romance. Its lord's period tends to favour learning, creative work, matters of children and decisions taken with a clear mind.

Jupiter and Mars
Jupiter counts Mars, the lord of Scorpio, as a natural friend. That usually makes its period sit comfortably with your Moon sign: its themes arrive with support rather than friction.
Your own dasha
Which mahadasha you are in, and when it began, depends on the Moon's nakshatra at the moment you were born, so it is personal to you. Even within the Jupiter mahadasha, where the planet sits in your own chart and the sub-periods inside it shape the years more than your Moon sign alone.
