Sun (Surya)

Sun (Surya) – The Sun represents Soul, Father, Status, Central Government, Authority figure (Boss), etc. It is a very strong planet and hence considered partially malefic in nature. Being the source of life, if it is strongly placed in the chart it gives positive effects to the native. It is the lord of Leo Zodiac. Position of Sun is very important to check overall personality. For example, if Sun is placed in Ascendant, then the native will be authoritative and dominating, they prefer to work/study and remain active during the day. Favorable Sun gives support from government, father and authorities. Sun in 1^st and 10^th house is extremely good, while in 12^th house it is not that great and indicates absence of Father or support from Father. It is exalted (Strong) in Aries and Debilitated (Weak) in Libra. Sun conjunction with Rahu or Ketu is not considered good and needs to be addressed if found in any chart. Sun also represents the person who is the head of the family, it can be a male or female, thus in order to check the influence or relationship with the head of family Sun's position in the chart from Ascendant and Ascendant lord needs to be studied. People who are born between 15th April and 15th May, have exalted Sun, such people are responsible towards their family, even though they are younger among siblings or not the primary member but they will take it on them to ensure fulfillment of duties towards other family members.
