Ratha Saptami: The Birthday Powertime of the Sun God

A Sacred Day to Fortify Life-Giving Energy, Well-Being & Prosperity

Ratha Saptami, the birthday powertime of the Sun God, is the ideal day to invoke this Soul Planet when the earthplane is filled with his life-replenishing energy—to revitalize your life force, renew your drive and determination to materialize goals, and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

Radiant Power of the Sun God- King of Planets & Source of Vitality

The Sun (Surya Deva), the Celestial Giver of Light, is the eternal source of vitality, longevity, and prosperity. He sustains all life, removes ignorance, and bestows status, strength, and abundance.

In Vedic Astrology, he is revered as the King of Planets (Graha Raja) and the Supreme Dispeller of Darkness whose purifying brilliance empowers the Gods and illuminates the path to spiritual awakening and worldly success.

When strongly placed in a birth chart, the Sun bestows respect, fame, prestige, societal influence, unbreakable willpower, strong immunity, and the power to overcome all challenges.

To embrace this cosmic moment of renewal and connect with the vibrant energy of the Sun during his birthday powertime, AstroVed will perform sacred Vedic rituals to

  • Boost Life Energy (Prana) flowing through the body
  • Grant wealth, happiness & fulfillment of deepest desires
  • Enhance fame, authority & career progress
  • Give robust physical health & mental well-being
  • Resolve Sun-related afflictions in your birth chart
  • Purify thoughts & emotions
  • Accelerate spiritual growth & clarity
Sun Chairote

The Sun’s Chariot: Northward Turn Infuses the Earth with Renewed Energy

According to the sacred text Mahabharata, on this sacred day, the Sun turns his celestial chariot (Ratha), drawn by seven luminous, white-footed horses, from the southeast to the northeast.
This symbolic transition heralds the northward journey of the Sun (Uttarayana), infusing the earth with renewed vitality, inner strength, heightened intellect, clear vision, creativity, courage, success, and spiritual clarity.
It marks an auspicious period of fresh beginnings, nurturing well-being, prosperity, and elevated consciousness.
Sun Birth

Birth of the Sun God: Primordial Source of Life

According to the Rig Veda, the most ancient scripture, Sun God was born to Sage Kashyapa and Aditi. The Puranas describe him as blessed to be the Giver of Life, illuminating the universe with Divine brilliance.
In the Vishnu Purana, Vishnu’s power blazes through the Sun God, nourishing and protecting all existence while dispelling illusions and ignorance. Other profound narratives portray the Sun as Shiva’s (Ishwara’s) creation, bringing light to a once-dark world and uniting cosmic forces to sustain life.
