Sun Mahadasha Sun Antardasha
Lasts 3 months 18 days
Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years, and its first sub-period is Sun's own, lasting 3 months 18 days. It is calculated as 6 years × 6 years ÷ 120. The natural themes here are authority, father, government and self-respect, shown at full strength because both layers are the same planet.
This is Sun's own sub-period inside its own Mahadasha, so the dasha's main themes are concentrated here. This is the first of nine sub-periods in the Sun Mahadasha. As an early sub-period, it tends to set up the themes the rest of the Mahadasha builds on.
Which life areas this sub-period touches depends on your Moon sign, because the houses each planet rules change with it. For Aries Moon, Sun rules the 5th house. For Leo Moon, Sun rules the 1st house. Your own chart, with its placements, aspects and transits, decides how this plays out. Pick your Moon sign below for a version tailored to it.
