2024 Astro Tips: Effect of the Sun in a Horoscope and When It Gives Good Results

The Sun in Vedic astrology represents the soul of a human being and hence is called Atmakaraka. The Sun’s position in the birth chart of a person indicates whether the person will shine like the Sun or have his radiance dimmed like the Sun on a cloudy day. The Sun signifies courage, confidence, and positivity.
The Sun has great significance in Vedic astrology. It never turns retrograde as everything around the Sun moves around it. The Sun takes 12 months to finish its journey and stays for a month in each astrological sign.
The Sun is the king of all the planets. It also governs the ancestors. If the Sun is conjunct with more than one malefic or inauspicious planet in the birth chart, it can cause Pitru Dosha.
General Characteristics of Sun
Sun is also called Suryadev (Sun god). Its character is masculine, and it is mildly malefic due to the heat it generates. Sun rules the Leo zodiac. It is strong in Aries and debilitated in Libra. Sun signifies ego, honor, status, prosperity, vitality, and power.
Sun is very strong when it is in the 10th house. It is also strong in the 1st, 4th, and 7th houses. It is very beneficial for fire signs like Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Due to its fiery element, the Sun belongs to the Pitta element. Wearing a ruby gemstone on the finger can please the Sun.
Sun bestows vitality, power, and immunity. A strong Sun can endow us with good intellect, prosperity, wisdom, wealth, good fortune, high aspiration, and medical knowledge. It also rules our spiritual relationship with holy places like temples.
As per medical astrology, the Sun has an influence on the human spine. It represents Pingala Nadi, which originates at the base of the spine on the right side, rises upwards, and terminates in the right nostrils.
The Sun’s position is very important in the birth chart. In the Vedas, Surya has the highest position among the Rigvedic gods. The Suryopanishad says that the Sun is the reason for the origin of the world.
Sun's Influence in The Horoscope
If the Sun is well-placed in the birth chart, the native will be successful and happy. Sun worship has been around since the Vedic period. In the Bhavishya Purana, there is a dialogue between Brahma and Vishnu about Sun worship and temple construction. There are references to Surya in ancient mythology.
If the Sun in the natal chart is weak, one can strengthen it by worshipping the Sun and performing certain remedies. It is very auspicious to worship the rising Sun and offer water to it. One should worship the Sun after taking a bath in the morning.
Offer water and flowers to the Sun in a copper pot and chant Surya Mantras like ‘Om Suryay Namah’ and Gayatri Mantra.
The Sun's Relationships With Other Planets
The Sun’s relationship with other planets is very significant. When the Sun and Moon are together, Sun is considered the father and Moon is the traveler. Surya is Rajya and Chandra is Yatra. So it is called Rajya Yatra, and the child may progress in a place different from the place of birth. Sun-Moon conjunctions are of different kinds as their energies are different. The Sun is hot and fiery, while the Moon is calm and cold. When they combine in the 10th house or their own signs like Aries, Leo, and Cancer, the effect can be positive. The native will be courageous and confident.
Sun and Mercury combination brings happiness. The native gets a high position and respect in society and leads a happy life. This conjunction is called Budh Aditya Yoga. The native will be skilled and very intellectual. They will possess good communication skills and can shine in the consultancy, management, and advisory fields. The results will be very good if the Sun and Mercury are in 2nd, 11th houses or Kendra.
Sun and Jupiter Conjunction is very auspicious. Both planets are masculine. The natives will be very spiritual and wealthy. They may have a name and fame in society.
A positive Sun-Saturn Conjunction can be favorable in the house of career. It bestows materialistic gains and a profession that is linked to a social cause. It also gives one a disciplined practical approach, good reputation, confidence and authority. Negative Sun-Saturn conjunction causes a lack of discipline, low self-confidence, and an inability to face challenges.
The native will try to find shortcuts in life instead of overcoming challenges with hard work and intelligence. The opposing energies of the Sun and Saturn will increase your ego and prompt you to make excuses for your mistakes.
A negative Sun-Rahu conjunction can affect the native’s luck. Rahu will seek to gain materialistic happiness through deception. This conjunction will cast a veil of mystery in all relationships. This will be ruinous for mutual understanding and emotional connection. The relationship with the father will be affected, and the native will have low vitality and suffer physical fatigue due to stress and fear.
Sun-Ketu conjunction bestows the right principles and the right attitude. The conjunction bestows less ego and confidence. Others may try to manipulate the natives. The native will have a strong inclination towards spirituality. Ketu can take away the blessings of the Sun. A negative
Sun-Ketu conjunction makes one directionless in life, and relationships, especially with fathers or father figures, may be unsatisfying.
Sun-Venus conjunction bestows a partner with charm and beauty who offers mutual understanding, care and affection. It also makes you creative and artistic, and leads to success in careers related to government and politics.
