my boss's boss invited me to lunch last week for no apparent reason. never happened before in 7 years at this company. weird timing
following this thread. just entered this period last month and trying to understand what to expect
not sure this is related but I've become way less tolerant of people who waste my time. used to be a people pleaser, now I just... can't
this is a small thing but I rearranged my entire home office, bought a proper desk, got better lighting. feels like I'm finally taking myself seriously
I lost my father during this period. I won't pretend it was some neat spiritual lesson. It was just awful. I'm still processing it honestly.
Public speaking used to make me physically nauseous. Got roped into presenting at a conference in Bangalore. Went terribly the first time. But I kept getting asked and by the fourth one something clicked. Now I actually enjoy it
had to get my eyes checked twice this year and my cardiologist wants me on a new medication. taking this as a sign to actually prioritize my health instead of just talking about it
I work in government procurement and the doors that opened during this period... I'd been applying to the same department for 3 years, suddenly got called for an interview and hired within 2 weeks
for me it was around month 14 when it stopped feeling like a performance. hang in there
genuine question for people further along... did your confidence actually increase or did you just get better at faking it? 8 months in and I feel like I'm performing
I keep getting drawn into situations where I have to take charge whether I want to or not. Like even at my kid's school they put me on the parent committee without asking lol
got promoted to team lead at work which was great but honestly the ego stuff caught me off guard. I started taking credit for things that weren't entirely mine and almost lost a good friendship over it. had to really check myself
My dad and I barely spoke for almost 6 years. About 4 months into this period he called me completely out of the blue and we ended up talking for 3 hours. We're close now. I still can't fully explain it.

What is Sun Dasa?
Sun Dasa, also known as Surya Mahadasha, lasts for 6 years in the Vimshottari Dasa system. During this period, the Sun's energy dominates your life path, bringing themes of authority, self-expression, government interactions, and father-related matters to the forefront. The Sun represents the soul, vitality, and one's core identity in Vedic Astrology. How this period manifests depends heavily on the Sun's placement, strength, and aspects in your birth chart.
What People Are Discussing About Sun Dasa
People going through Sun Dasa often report increased confidence, a stronger desire for recognition, and opportunities related to government or authority figures. Career advancement is common when the Sun is well-placed. Challenges may include ego conflicts, health issues related to the heart or eyes, and strained relationships with father figures. Many people find that their sense of purpose and identity becomes clearer during this period.
Navigating Sun Dasa
During Sun Dasa, it helps to cultivate humility while pursuing your ambitions. Strengthening your relationship with your father or father figures can bring positive results.
