Sun Antardasha in Sun Mahadasha: Results, Duration & Remedies
Sun Antardasha in Sun Mahadasha — duration and character
In the Vimshottari order, the Mahadasha of Sun runs 6 years — a chapter of Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership. Within it, the Antardasha of Sun lasts 3 months 18 days (formula: 6×6÷120 years) — the chapter stays the same, but the subject is now set by Sun (Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership).
This is the first Antardasha of the Mahadasha — Sun's own sub-period: the new dasha takes on its colour here, and the planet gives its purest results. Whatever Sun is in your birth chart (house, sign, aspects) shows most clearly now.
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 Sun'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.
