Favourable Position of Surya (Sun) According to Astrology
“One reaps the fruits of actions performed with body, speech, and mind.”
(Srimad Bhagavatam 3.31.1)
No house is more or less important, no planet is more or less bad or good, and no planet gives results on its own. It’s nothing but the accumulation of your past karmas and what you get ahead is the result of your present karmas. So, it is indeed in your own hands.
Your previous karmas influence your horoscope. The positioning of your horoscopes influences your life events. One of the most influential planets that determines events in your life is the Sun.
“आदित्यं वरेण्यं तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय त्वं देवः सविताऽपरिषिणाविन्दन्तीन्द्रावत्पुरा” (ऋग्वेद १.२२.१०)
This verse can be translated as:
“O Aditya (Sun), the most worthy of adoration, lead us from darkness to light. O Deva (God), who is like Indra in glory, gather us as a skilled charioteer gathers his horses.”
The Sun is authoritative by nature. The planets friendly to it are Moon, Jupiter and Mars. The enemy planets include Saturn and Venus. For Mercury, it is neutral.
The position of the Sun in a horoscope which can be favourable for you are
- Trikona Houses: The Sun within the 5th, 1st or ninth place of the birth chart is considered to be lucky. These houses are referred to as Trikonas which represent intelligence, creativity, spirituality, and luck. If the Sun is positioned in any of these houses, they are believed to bring positive results.
- The Sun rules the 5th house which is Leo. Sun is the Lord of the fifth house too as the Sun is elevated in Aries. If the Sun is transiting and the Sun is situated at 10 degrees within the sign Aries, it is favourable since it is in an exalted state. On the other hand, the Sun is subdued when it is located at 10 degrees in the sign of Libra.
Auspicious Conjunctions of the Sun
- If it is the case that the Sun and Moon coincide, that person becomes focused and determined. They will be active and can accomplish whatever they desire.
- If it is the case that the Sun is in sync with Mercury, it can make a person extremely smart and will help the person in a variety of aspects of their lives.
- The conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter is also considered good as it creates a strong spiritual effect. Also, the Sun is considered as the soul and Jupiter is the inner self of a person; so, this conjunction enhances and deepens one’s interest in spirituality.
- On the other hand, the conjunction of the sun with Mars leads to Angarak Dosh, the conjunction of the Sun and Saturn causes Sharpit Dosha and the conjunction with Rahu leads to Grahana Yoga which all are detrimental to the natives.
Some of the auspicious yogas of the Sun that are favourable for natives
- Raj Rajeshwar Yoga: When the sun is in Pisces, and the indication of Moon and Jupiter is Cancer (their sign), this yoga forms which makes the native warm like the Ravi (Sun) itself along with the quietness and calmness of Chandra. He will be creative and will gain respect.
- Bhaskar Yoga: When Jupiter is in the 5th or 9th house from the moon, the moon is in the 11th house from Mercury and Mercury is in the 2nd house from the sun, this yoga forms. It rewards natives with richness of character and wealth.
- Vaasi Yoga: When except the moon there is some other planet at the 12th house from the Sun, this Yoga forms. Depending on the nearness of that planet to the sun, Vaasi Yoga can be beneficial or detrimental. A benefic yoga makes the native rational and competent along with extraordinary character.
- Veshi Yoga: When except the moon there is some other planet in the 2nd house from the Sun, this yoga forms. Same as Vaasi Yoga, depending upon the nearness of the planet, it can be detrimental or beneficial.
Significance of Sun in Astrology
- It is a representation of the father, and due to it, the relationship between a father and child prospers. It is also a symbol of our connection with our higher selves and spiritual nature.
- The beneficent Sun brings fame and power to the natives.
- Natives with a strong Sun in their horoscopes are courageous, leader, self-assured, kind and royal.
- On the other hand, natives with a weak Sun are egoistic, have anger issues, are depressed, jealous and self-centred.
A strong sun is desirable but remember as the setbacks in life make us appreciate the comebacks, sometimes we need sunset and moon in our life too!
