Most of us will have experience of the Sun Mahadasha sooner or later. The Mahadasha of Sun runs for 6 years. This is one of the most powerful Vishomttari administration period of Sun that continues for 6 years.
Since the planet Sun is the most powerful planet in the solar system and hence has control over all the planets.
The Sun Mahadasha is synonymously called Surya Mahadasha and the duration of the Surya Mahadasha is 6 years. The Surya Dasha can be both benefic and malefic.
The Result of Benefic Sun
The planet Sun can bring money, wealth, name and fame, social status, glory, culture, education and life like a king.
During the beneficial Mahadasha of Sun the native will have acquisition of wealth, respect and honor from the royal people and government. The native will have great mentality and happiness.
The native gets blessed with son. The person enjoys all kinds of success during the Surya Mahadasha.
The native gets power, position, authority, political position and administrative post such as army, police and other bureaucratic authority.
The person having Surya Mahadasha gets numbers of apparels, agricultural products, social honour and conveyances.
The Result of the Malefic Sun
If the planet Sun is debilitated, ill placed in 6th, 8th 12th house and afflicted by malefic planet such as Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mars etc. then it will bring very bad result to the native.
The native is likely to feel the result of his bad deed or even his past Karma during the malefic Surya Mahadasha.
During the inauspicious Mahadasha of Sun the native losses his preowned wealth and assets. The government is likely to confiscate his wealth and property. He or She faces the scandal and public humiliation.
There will be dispute between father and son. The native starts feeling he is confined in all aspect of life.
The debilitated Sun bring severe headache, ocular problem, loss of memory, intestinal problem etc.
The result of Sun Mahadasha based on ascendant
If you have been running under the influence of the Surya Mahadasha, then the result can be both malefic and benefic based on the ascendant.
The different ascendant gives different result and it is purely dependent upon the power and strength of the planet Sun.
If the planet Sun is placed in the own sign, exalted and in friendly sign then it will definitely bring auspicious result. If it is afflicted by malefic Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mars then it will surely bring bad result.
If the planet debilitated in the Libra, the Mahadasha of Sun will surely fetch the inauspicious result.
Hence, the astrologer should calculate the power of Sun keeping in mind all aspect.

Manoranjan Ji, Your are indeed quite the oracle. Well my chart has Surya Mahadasha till November 2020 and I have lost everything in the past 6 years that any man can lose in a lifetime. Still 3+ months to go. Wonder what more will I lose and what will be left in my life after this is over. Apparently the Mahadhasha was quite Malefic!
Manoranjan Prusty says
Hi,
Sun must be very malefic for you. It requires birth details to understand the real picture of the planet Sun. You can easily pass the 3 months of phase as you have already passed the miserable plight for 5 years. Time is fleeting and will pass soon. Hope for the best in the Moon Mahadasha.
