☀️ SUN — The Sun in Vedic Astrology

According to Vedic Astrology, the Sun (Surya) is exalted in Aries and reaches its Deep Exaltation (Param Uchcha) at 10° of Aries.

Key Significations

The Sun is the ruler of Leo (Simha) and represents the Fire element. It is traditionally regarded as the King among the planets. The Sun represents the soul, self-confidence, personality, dignity, honour, authority, power and leadership.

Father & Elders

In a birth chart, the Sun is traditionally associated with the father and respected elders.

Career & Profession

The Sun is associated with government service, administration, authority, senior positions, leadership and responsibility.

Physical Significations

Traditionally, the Sun is associated with the heart, eyes (especially the right eye), bones and vitality.

Strong Sun

A strong Sun, particularly in Aries (exaltation) or Leo (own sign), is traditionally associated with confidence, vitality, leadership, recognition, dignity and authority.

Weak or Afflicted Sun

The Sun is debilitated in Libra, with its deepest debilitation at 10° Libra. A weak or afflicted Sun is traditionally interpreted as being associated with reduced confidence, difficulties involving authority or the father, and challenges related to recognition or status.

Traditional Remedies

Remedies are generally selected after examining the complete birth chart, including the Sun’s sign, house, nakshatra and planetary influences. Traditional practices may include offering prayers to the Sun at sunrise, offering water to the Sun, chanting Sun-related mantras and regular Sun worship.
