Sun Mahadasha Venus Antardasha
Lasts 1 year
Sun Mahadasha sets the main subject for 6 years, and the Venus Antardasha colours it for 1 year. Sun stands for authority, father, government and self-respect. Venus stands for relationships, comfort, the arts and vehicles. The combination tends to bring those two sets of themes together.
Sun regards Venus as an enemy, so there can be friction between the dasha's main theme and this sub-period, which is usually handled with patience and clear priorities. This is the ninth of nine sub-periods in the Sun Mahadasha. As a late sub-period, it tends to consolidate what the Mahadasha has built and prepare the ground for the next dasha.
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 and Venus rules the 2nd and 7th houses. For Leo Moon, Sun rules the 1st house and Venus rules the 3rd and 10th houses. 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.
