Throughout the world, in many ‌ancient civilisations, we have one aspect in common – worshipping the Sun. 

We find strong symbolisms of the sun in all ancient civilisations, be it Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Shintoism, Inca civilisations of South America and many indigenous groups, and of course our Sanatan Hindu civilisation. 

While analysing the birth chart of a person, astrologers give utmost importance to the Sun since it is the centre of everything. The sun represents atman, while the moon represents mann. It is the largest among all, and is the “Father of all stars”. Even Panchang – The Hindu Calendar takes the movement of the sun from one sign to another as its basis.

Let us see how ‌the position of the sun plays an important role in our charts: 

• In the 1st house: the sun in the 1st house is considered favourable and the native will be blessed with enthusiasm, social magnetism, and cheerfulness. Though, the native can be short–tempered and uncaring at times along with some laziness.
• In the 2nd house: here, the native will be logical and of sound reasoning along with having higher moral values.
• In the 3rd house:  people with this birth chart are the knowledgeable ones. They will keep acquiring knowledge throughout their lives.
• In the 4th house: if you are someone who has sun in the 4th house you are extremely family-oriented and will give your best in your life so as to ensure your loved ones have access to the best of things.
• In the 5th house: these are athletic ones with sometimes extreme self-love.
• In the 6th house: these are the people who will put extra effort into things, especially in the skills they lack which will further help them in developing at a personal level.
• In the 7th house: these are the people who are extremely dedicated in their relationships.
• In the 8th house:  People with the sun in the 8th house are leadership material with a quick response in a crisis. 
• In the 9th house: these are curious – types with a strong wanderlust that will take them to places. They have different inclinations which will keep them engaged.
• In the 10th house: the ambitious ones, have a desire to be at the top and will work tirelessly to achieve that.
• In the 11th house: these are people with charisma and social skills. Groups form around them. Also, they have a desire to make this world a better place.
• In the 12th house: The sun in the 12th house is the factor of solitude and freedom and gives a sense of separation. So if the sun is placed in the 12th house, the person may be more thoughtful and connected with the deeper realms of consciousness.

In conjunction with other Planets

When the sun is in conjunction with other planets, it can have benefic or malefic effects:

• With moon: Strong–willed, focused, ambitious and work hard work hard to achieve them.
• With Mars, it forms Angarak Dosh, which means natives are hot-headed, and of short temper. To add more, they are impulsive decision-makers.
• With Mercury, it makes the person an intelligent and logical decision-maker. 
• With Jupiter: the natives who have both these planets in one house will have spiritual effects such as inclination for spiritual and religious activities. As per Vedic astrology, Jupiter is the representation of our inner self.
• ‌With Venus’s enthusiasm and the energy of the sun, the native will have an appealing personality.
• With Saturn, the relationship between them is not good, so it causes Shrapit Dosh, which will make natives suffer from various challenges and hardships throughout their lives.

Even in the case of conjunction, the results depend upon the houses the sun occupies.

A strong sun makes a person strong, independent, and a leader. Even the sun itself is considered “Father of all Planets’ and is generally associated with leadership roles for example father in the family, executive in politics, etc.

On the other hand, a weak sun can lead to an unsuccessful career, along with health problems such as skin and eye diseases.
