A modern reading of Surya mahadasha main sequence of experiences or "what to expect" --

by Barbara Pijan Lama

Surya/Surya period

duration = 3 months

One embarks upon the Surya/Surya bhukti with principled expectations driven by high ideals. 

Ethical behaviors, self-realization through philosophical reasoning, and individual empowerment within society, will  reach their maximum potential now.

The range of idealism and potential empowerment through principled action is determined by Surya's rashi, bhava, drishti & other characteristics. 

High-power Surya

Surya well-disposed in Simha elevates ethical principle, to the point of regal entitlement. For these six years, Noblesse oblige will flow. One is highly attuned to moral principle. One becomes an exponent of ethical practice in society. Partnership only with those similarly privileged & attuned. 

Surya in Mesha emphasizes individual nobility and self-determination through rational choice. Some danger of selfish actions if Surya is not constrained by more populist drishti. Extraordinary competitive individual achievements. Balanced relationships not favored.

Low-power Surya

By contrast, Surya's ability to channel divine intelligence through the bright light of individual reasoning is weakened in:

• Thula (partnership)

• Makara (large structured organization)

• Kumbha (large free-form assemblies)

The mahadasha of a neechha or weakened Surya may be marked by low personal morality or  incomplete reasoning process (dogmatism, ideologue, simplistic or dismissive response to ethical challenge). Low-power Surya indicates weakened courage to pursue principled action due to falling sway to a dominant partner or group. 

Rashi qualities of Surya subject to adjustment through significations of bhava & drishti. 

The populist drishti of "common man" Shani upon "kingly" Surya imposes especially harsh constraints upon Surya's natural entitlements. Drishti of Shani upon Surya will reduce personal glamour & easy privilege, but it also prevents selfish excess.

Surya/Chandra period

duration = 6 months

Surya is the hot, rational, yang energy; Chandra rules the cool, intuitive, feminine. Depending on the angle between the two luminaries within the radix & navamsha charts, this period  typically expresses the psychic relationship between one's parents. 

Regardless of one's current social gender, one will feel like the rational father, reaching out to the weaker but more intuitive mother.  

A protective, paternal, care-taking instinct underlies the activities determined by Chandra's radix bhava and rashi. 

• If Surya and Chandra are well-balanced, intuition complements and supplements reasoning power. 

• If the radix Surya/Chandra angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between ethical reasoning and intuitive sensitivities.

Surya/Kuja period

duration = 5 months

Surya is divine intelligence channeling through the human capacity for principled philosophical reasoning. Kuja is the animal body driven by instinctive responses to the environment. Kuja is human sexual pursuit and penetration; the killer instinct of the hunter and the warrior; and the competitive drive of military exercise and sport.

Surya and Kuja are friends. Presuming a healthy angle between these two graha, the brief period of Surya/Kuja is vigorously physically active, goal-oriented, and highly individualized. 

• If Surya and Kuja are well-balanced, goal-oriented competitive action will complement and supplement the reasoning intelligence. 

• If the radix Surya/Kuja angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between reason vs. adversarial, warlike, or simple muscular action.

Surya/Rahu period

duration = 11 months

Surya & Rahu are natural enemies. Surya's divinely ordered, priestly intelligence (Vishnu) looks with contempt upon the vulgar, desires of taboo-breaking Rahu. Results of this period depend on the complex relationship between Rahu, Rahu's lord, any co-tenants with Rahu, and Surya. 

Some tension between Surya's kingdom of moral principle and Rahu's disregard for established boundaries is quite likely. Concentration is disrupted by the interloper's desire for illicit pleasures. However barring unfavorable angles, the native might experience the liberating benefits of "questioning authority" and also have a bit of fun.

• If Surya and Rahu are well-balanced, the excitement of desire can complement and supplement the ethical intelligence. Sometimes breaking cultural boundaries leads to better, more creative conditions in the kingdom. 

• However, if the radix Surya/Rahu angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between moral reasoning and passionate, hungry desires.

Surya/Guru period

duration = 9 months

Surya and Brihaspati are friends. Barring a difficult mutual angle, the results of this period benefit the native's life wisdom learning. Rahu's illicit excess may be corrected now, as the native returns to righteousness. 

Not favorable for love relationships, since both Ravi & Guru are uncomfortable in Shukra's territory. Truth principles become "non-negotiable"  Disinclined toward compromise. One feels self-reliant and wise.

If Surya + Guru power is magnified through conjunction or trine drishti, one's principled self-righteousness - a pendulum swing from Rahu's devil-may-care carousing - can also become excessive.

• If Surya & Guru are well-balanced, wisdom teachings and a general attitude of expansive optimism can complement and supplement the individual reasoning power. 

• If the radix Surya/Guru angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between personal experience of divine will vs. religious teachings.

Surya/Shani period

duration = 12 months

Surya and Shani are bitter enemies.  This is a difficult period when self-respect & individual creativity are compromised & constrained by public, institutional, government, or other regulatory demands. The native feels like a cog in the machine.

For Thula lagna and Vrishabha lagna, Shani = yogakaraka. The relentless, shoulder-to-the-grindstone effort of the yogakaraka Shani is just as draining upon the life force, but results will be socially praiseworthy.

Shani has the quality of bringing things to a conclusion. If the native is working on a project or relationship, this single year of hard work and determination to follow the common rules will bear the fruit of achievement. If there is no life goal at this time, Surya/Shani = just plain hard work. Oppressive. Institutional limitations upon individual intelligence. Scarce resources. Shani's daunting workload makes it hard to "keep the faith" of Surya.

Supports relationships based on duty and material responsibility.

• If Surya & Shani are well-balanced, diligent lawfulness and earthy materialism can complement and supplement the individual reasoning power. 

• If the radix Surya/Shani angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between the light of intelligent reason and conformist, fear-driven rules of law & order.

Surya/Budha period

duration = 10 months

Surya sees Budha as a neutral party, while Budha sees Surya as a friend. Despite the fact that Surya/Budha can be in the distrusting 2/12 angle,  Surya/Budha period is not normally a conflicted period. It is generally a neutral 10+ months of mental output with lots of writing, conferencing, team communications, and other Budha-driven dialogue. 

Budha is Surya's mouthpiece. One's principled reasoning will find verbal and written expression. Depending on whether Surya/Budha = 1/1 or 2/12, the verbal/written output may slightly alter Ravi's original reasoning process. However if Budha is well disposed, the period moves quickly in fluent communication, and the native is fairly relaxed.

• If Surya & Budha are well-balanced, the daily chat of repeating conversation (including sexual communications) can complement and supplement the higher principles of   reasoning. 

• If the radix Surya/Budha angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between principles of higher reason and short-term, pre-scripted, conversational logic.

Surya/Ketu period

duration = 4 months

Surya and Ketu are neither friend nor foe. Typically there is a mental or psychological disjunct between Surya's sense of the universe (Vishnu) being ordered and divinely purposeful, versus Ketu's sense of aimless wandering and inability to control one's own destiny.

While public identity (Surya) will remain intact, one's interior experience via Ketu is a bit lost and lacking structure. The period is brief. Some psychological depression or despair is common, and will pass quickly. In case of a big mental effort to express Surya's divine intelligence during Surya/Budha period, the Surya/Ketu period may feel like a "post-partum depression". Communication empowerment is drained with no reserves. 

Intuitive perceptions are brilliant but the native must take special precautions to reinforce one's mental boundaries. Getting too involved in the reasoning styles of others is a philosophical liability, however briefly.

• If Surya & Ketu are well-balanced, deep psycho-intuitive perception can complement & supplement the higher principles of  reasoning. 

• If the radix Surya/Ketu angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between higher moral principles and the post-morality abandon of true spiritual detachment. 

Surya/Shukra period

duration = 12 months

Surya and Shukra are bitter enemies. They fight about Love. Surya  divine love. Shukra = human love. Each stakes a claim in human life. When the two claims overlap or compete for priority, the native suffers. Surya/Shukra is a difficult period. 

During Surya/Shukra, the native is disturbed by conflict between the righteous individual moral integrity of Surya versus the balancing, accommodating, sensual agenda of Shukra. 

The challenge is to achieve an integrated tolerance for human love, while sustaining commitment to higher moral principles and continuing to enjoy the deep validation of divine love. One's perfect relationship with God needs to be somehow combined with imperfect relationships to human love partners. 

Surya is not inclined to lower His standards. The strong is Ravi by rashi, bhava, and drishti - also the more intolerant of human failing. If Surya is particularly vibrant and entitled, Ravi's need to prioritize divine love may cause the loss, through intolerance, of an ethically imperfect human partnership. 

Whether the Surya-Shkura conflict is severe enough to cause a loss of human love, or whether sufficient ethical improvements can be made and the human love sustained, the results of Surya/Shukra period clear the way for a deeper nurturing human relationship in the forthcoming Chandra mahadasha.

In addition, the final bhukti of any mahadasha enforces forgiveness, closure, and release. Relationships which fail to uphold Surya's ethical standards will be eliminated. 

• If Surya & Shukra are well-balanced, attraction to sensual  luxury can complement & supplement the higher principles of reasoning. 

• If the radix Surya/Shukra angle is unfavorable, expect some tension between ethical principles (including compassion) and basic sexual/emotional attraction to the beloved.
