The sub-period of Sun within the 20-year Venus Mahadasha runs for 1 year. The results below are Sage Parashara's classical indications — how they manifest for you depends on the exact placement of Sun and Venus in your individual birth chart.
शुक्रस्यान्तर्गते सूर्ये सन्तापो राजविग्रहः । दायादकलहश्चैव स्वोच्चनीचविवर्जिते ॥ १२ ॥
स्वोच्चे स्वक्षेत्रगे सूर्ये मित्रर्क्षे केन्द्रकोणगे । दायेशात्केन्द्रकोणे वा लाभे वा धनगेऽपि वा ॥ १३ ॥
तद्भुक्तौ धनलाभः स्याद्राज्यस्त्रीधनसम्पदः । स्वप्रभोश्च महत्सौख्यमिष्टबन्धोः समागमः ॥ १४ ॥
पितृमात्रोः सुखप्राप्ति भ्रातृलाभं सुखावहम् । सत्कीर्ति सुखसौभाग्यं पुत्रलाभं च विन्दति ॥ १५ ॥
तथाष्टमे व्यये सूर्ये रिपुराशिस्थितेऽपि वा । नीचे वा पापवर्गस्थे देहतापो मनोरुजः ॥ १६ ॥
स्वजनोपरिसंक्लेशो नित्यं निष्ठुरभाषणम् । पितृपीडा बन्धुहानी राजद्वारे विरोधकृत् ॥ १७ ॥
व्रणपीडाहिबाधा च स्वगृहे च भयं तथा । नानारोगभयं चैव गृहक्षेत्रादिनाशनम् ॥ १८ ॥
सप्तमाधिपतौ सूर्ये ग्रहबाधा भविष्यति । तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं सूर्येप्रीतिं च कारयेत् ॥ १९ ॥
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
Condition: Sun exalted, in own or friendly sign, in an Angle, Trine, 2nd or 11th from the Ascendant and also from Venus (the Mahadasha lord).
Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Sun and Venus sit in your individual chart. 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 and Venus are natural enemies, which is why their combination tends to bring confrontation with relatives such as co-parceners, and with administrators and those in authority. An afflicted or debilitated Sun, or one owning inauspicious houses, decidedly worsens results.
When both planets relate to the same significations, the effect intensifies: e.g. if the Sun is 10th lord and Venus conjoins it in a benefic house, business flourishes well in these periods, since Venus signifies wealth and, in the natural zodiac, the house of business; but both in the Trik houses (6/8/12) brings business reverses.
Illustrative case: for a Scorpio Ascendant with Venus (lord of the 2nd, business, and 12th, import-export) conjunct the Sun (10th lord, workplace) and Mercury (11th and 8th lord, metals) in the Ascendant, the native launched a successful export business in metallic items during the Sun sub-period — the significations of business, gains and metals converging.
Sun antardasha within the 20-year Venus mahadasha lasts 1 year, as per the fixed Vimshottari proportions given by Sage Parashara.
Classically its tone is challenging. It gives favourable results when sun exalted, in own or friendly sign, in an angle, trine, 2nd or 11th from the ascendant and also from venus (the mahadasha lord). The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra also describes specific placements under which this period becomes testing — whether those apply to you can only be determined from your individual birth chart, which is examined in a personal consultation.
The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra prescribes specific remedies — japa, charity and propitiation — for this period, chosen according to the exact afflictions present in the individual birth chart. Since the wrong remedy for the wrong affliction brings no benefit, the applicable remedies are shared as part of a personal consultation after examining your full horoscope.
