Direct answer
In the 6-year Sun mahadasha, the Venus antardasha lasts 1 year (6 × 20 ÷ 120 years) and arrives as sub-period 9 of 9, starting about 5 years in. By the BPHS natural-friendship table, Venus is a natural enemy of Sun, a classical friction signature — though chart-specific lordships can soften or override this. What it actually delivers depends on the houses Venus and Sun own and occupy in your chart — which is why we check the period against your real past first.

Why this page won't tell you your future
Two people in the same Venus-in-Sun period can live opposite stories, because what each planet delivers is set by the houses it rules and occupies in the individual chart — not by the combination alone. The honest way to read this period is to compute your chart, see what Sun and Venus actually control for you, and verify the pattern against dated events from your own past before trusting forward-looking claims.
