- How Sun regards Venus
- Enemy, by natural relationship
For a Cancer Moon, Sun Mahadasha runs 6 years and the Venus Antardasha is its ninth sub-period, lasting 1 year. Sun rules the 2nd (family, savings and speech) from a Cancer Moon. Sun rules neither a kendra, a trikona nor a dusthana here, so its results lean on its placement more than on its lordship, and its link to the 2nd house also touches savings or gains.
Venus rules the 4th (home, mother and peace of mind) and the 11th (gains and network) from a Cancer Moon. Ruling a kendra gives Venus weight in visible life, and how well it delivers depends on its strength in the chart, and its link to the 11th house also touches savings or gains. 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. Both lords connect to money and gains houses, so income and savings are a recurring subject.
A Cancer Moon tends to feel things deeply and puts home and security first. Sun is a friend to Moon, the lord of Cancer, and Venus is an enemy to Moon. For a Cancer Moon, Sun-Venus brings a blend of opportunity and effort, and the split between the two depends on placement and transits.

What your own chart decides
- Where Venus sits counted from Sun in your chart. Positions such as the 6th, 8th or 12th from each other usually ask for more adjustment than the 1st, 5th, 9th or 11th, and only your birth chart shows this.
- The strength of Sun and Venus in your chart: sign dignity, conjunctions and aspects. A well-placed lord tends to deliver its houses cleanly, while a weak one gives slower or uneven results.
- Your ascendant and the houses these planets actually occupy. This page counts from the Moon, and your lagna can give a different set of lordships, so both views are read together.
- Current transits. Astrika reads natal chart, dasha and transit together, and a period tends to show its results most clearly when all three agree. Remedies, if any, depend on your own chart, so none are listed here.
