Sun Antardasha in Saturn Mahadasha: Results, Duration & Remedies
Sun Antardasha in Saturn Mahadasha — duration and character
In the Vimshottari order, the Mahadasha of Saturn runs 19 years — a chapter of Karma, Justice, Age, Discipline, Servant, Sorrow, Oil and Iron. Within it, the Antardasha of Sun lasts 11 months 12 days (formula: 19×6÷120 years) — the chapter stays the same, but the subject is now set by Sun (Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership).
In brief: Sun during the Saturn period — a test of status and ego; for those who walk with humility, promotion is also on the horizon..
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 Saturn'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.
