Sun Antardasha in Mars Mahadasha: Results, Duration & Remedies
Sun Antardasha in Mars Mahadasha — duration and character
In the Vimshottari order, the Mahadasha of Mars runs 7 years — a chapter of Brother, courage, energy, land, blood, valor, controversy. Within it, the Antardasha of Sun lasts 4 months 6 days (formula: 7×6÷120 years) — the chapter stays the same, but the subject is now set by Sun (Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership).
Within Mars's chapter, Sun brings forward its own significations — Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership. Their natural friendship usually keeps this period cooperative.
How to read the results — the real rule
Results are decided not by the planet's name but by its state in your chart: the houses Sun owns, where it sits and its nakshatra — the Antardasha touches exactly those matters, with Mars's Mahadasha as the backdrop.
For finer timing, the Pratyantar-dasha and transits (especially Jupiter–Saturn) are read together — our free kundali gives a five-level dasha table plus event-timing analysis.
General remedies for this period
Sun (Antardasha lord): To strengthen the sun, water arghya (with a copper pot) at sunrise, recitation of 'Om Suryaya Namah' or Aditya-Hridaya-Stotra, Sunday fast and respect for father and gurus are the best remedies. The gemstone ruby is worn in gold, in the ring finger, on Sunday morning — only after the horoscope test. Donation of jaggery and wheat and Surya Namaskar are also beneficial.
