Antardasha 9 of 9 in Sun mahadasha · 1 yr
Sun-Venus antardasha सूर्य-शुक्र अंतर्दशा
Sun-Venus lasts exactly one year and closes the mahadasha. The Sun and Venus are mutual enemies, and tradition reads the pairing as a tension between duty and comfort, authority and affection. Relationships, income, and the arts return to focus after a demanding period, but disputes with a spouse or partner over priorities are listed. Expenses on luxury rise. Recognition through creative or diplomatic work is possible. It hands over to the softer Moon mahadasha.

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 Venus adds as sub-lord
Venus mahadasha is the longest period in the cycle, twenty years that tradition associates with relationships, comfort, the arts, and material consolidation. It follows the sparse Ketu period and is usually felt as a return to the world. Classical texts read a well-placed Venus as one of the most pleasant dashas, though a weak or afflicted Venus can bring indulgence and relationship strain instead. As an antardasha lord it colours the mahadasha's agenda rather than replacing it: the houses Venus owns and occupies in the birth chart become the stage for Sun's themes for 1 yr. See Venus as a mahadasha.
How the length is computed
Sun runs 6 years and Venus runs 20 years in the 120-year cycle, so Sun-Venus lasts 6 × 20 ÷ 120 = 1.000 years, about 1 yr. The exact calendar boundaries depend on the Moon's degree at birth; the free kundli lists them.
