In a changing world that poses challenges at every corner, having a clear inner compass and focus becomes critical to success. In both science and Vedic astrology, the Sun is the Life Energy of all beings. It is a symbol of leadership, authority, vigour, and vision.
A strong placement of the Sun (Surya) in Vedic Astrology is an indicator of positive energy levels, health and ongoing growth potential in one’s profession. A weak Sun, on the other hand, can have an opposite effect. Regardless of whether you need to strengthen the favourable positioning of the Sun in your birth chart or overcome the impact of a weakened Sun, invoking the Sun by performing rituals such as Surya Deva Pooja or Sun Homa becomes crucial.
