Antardasha 1 of 9 in Sun mahadasha · 3 mo 18 d
Sun-Sun antardasha सूर्य-सूर्य अंतर्दशा
Sun-Sun opens the mahadasha and lasts about three months and eighteen days. It is the most concentrated stretch of the period, when the Sun's themes arrive undiluted: authority, visibility, the father, and physical vitality. Tradition expects a change in position or responsibility, dealings with government, and a rise in confidence, along with friction with people in power and a tendency toward stubbornness. Brief, but it sets the tone for the six years.

The mahadasha behind it
Sun mahadasha is a short six year period that tradition links with authority, visibility, the father, and one's standing in the world. After the long and comfortable Venus period it feels brisk and demanding, with fewer indulgences and more responsibility. Classical texts read a strong Sun as bringing status and clarity of purpose, and a weak Sun as bringing ego friction and setbacks with superiors. Read the full Sun mahadasha.
What Sun adds as sub-lord
Sun mahadasha is a short six year period that tradition links with authority, visibility, the father, and one's standing in the world. After the long and comfortable Venus period it feels brisk and demanding, with fewer indulgences and more responsibility. Classical texts read a strong Sun as bringing status and clarity of purpose, and a weak Sun as bringing ego friction and setbacks with superiors. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Sun owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Sun's themes for 3 mo 18 d. See Sun as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Sun runs 6 years and Sun runs 6 years in the 120-year cycle, so Sun-Sun lasts 6 × 6 ÷ 120 = 0.300 years, about 3 mo 18 d. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
