मन्दस्यान्तर्गते सूर्ये स्वोच्चे स्वक्षेत्रगेऽपि वा । भाग्याधिपेन संयुक्ते केन्द्रलाभत्रिकोणगे ॥ ३७ ॥ शुभदृष्टियुते वापि स्वप्रभोश्च महत्सुखम् । गृहे कल्याणसम्पत्तिः पुत्रादिसुखवर्द्धनम् ॥ ३८ ॥ वाहनाम्बरपश्वादिगोक्षीरैस्संकुलं गृहम् ॥ ३८½ ॥
लग्नाष्टमव्यये सूर्ये दायेशाद्वा तथैव च ॥ ३९ ॥ हृद्रोगो मानहानिश्च स्थानभ्रंशो मनोरुजा । इष्टबन्धुवियोगश्च उद्योगस्य विनाशनम् ॥ ४० ॥ तापज्वरादिपीडा च व्याकुलत्वं भयं तथा । आत्मसम्बन्धिमरणमिष्टवस्तुवियोगकृत् ॥ ४१ ॥
द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु देहबाधा भविष्यति । तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं सूर्यपूजां च कारयेत् ॥ ४२ ॥

If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.
Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.
The Sun's sub-period within the Saturn Mahadasha is generally not favourable; health, mental capacity, education and matters concerning children tend to feel the pressure.
When the Sun is the Ascendant lord (Leo Ascendant), adverse effects on health are near-certain regardless of the Sun's house or any link with Saturn — the natural enmity between these two planets is heightened when the Sun rules the chart.
