Direct answer
In the 20-year Venus mahadasha, the Sun antardasha lasts 1 year (20 × 6 ÷ 120 years) and arrives as sub-period 2 of 9, starting about 3 years 4 months in. By the BPHS natural-friendship table, Sun is a natural enemy of Venus, a classical friction signature — though chart-specific lordships can soften or override this.

Why this page won't tell you your future
Two people in the same Sun-in-Venus 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 Venus and Sun actually control for you, and verify the pattern against dated events from your own past before trusting forward-looking claims.
