Surya (Sun) Mahadasha — Budh (Mercury) Antardasha
Inside the 6-year Surya (Sun) mahadasha, the Budh (Mercury) antardasha runs for 10 months 6 days as sub-period 7 of 9. Lightens the mind — study, business, communication and travel move quickly. The two lords are neutral to each other, so the sub-period runs on its own merits — the antardasha lord’s strength in your chart decides how it lands.
Classical basis: the Vimshottari sub-period rule of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra — the antardasha spans (mahadasha years × antardasha lord’s years) ÷ 120, sub-periods run in the fixed order from the mahadasha lord, and the fruit is judged by the two lords’ mutual relation and the antardasha lord’s dignity in the birth chart.
