Sun in Astrology

Significations of the Sun in Astrology


Sun is responsible for the life on this earth. He is the giver of life. When we talk about life, it
is not only about life itself, it is also about hope, aspirations, ambition, energy, ego, etc. He
represents identity and our face to the external world. Sun brightens the house it is placed.
The main significations of the Sun are given below:
1. Personality and Core Identity
Sun is the significator of the soul and called atmakaraka. It is the core identity of who we
are. It represents the personality and true nature of an individual. It is believed that a soul
is pure and eternal. However, it gets all the impurities attached over many births. The
attached qualities (good or bad) determine the personality traits of an individual. Based on
the position of the Sun, we can know what kind of personality traits and impressions one
has inherited from the past lives. This is also the reason why the Sun is allotted the 5th
house of the natural zodiac as the 5th house stands for what we inherit from our past
lives(sanskaras).
2. Purpose
The position of the Sun in the horoscope will give a picture as to what is the purpose of the
present life of the native and the house position of the Sun shows in which areas one will
put his energy. However, the fulfillment of the purpose is determined by the strength and
its association with other planets.
3. Leadership Traits
Sun is regarded as the king in the hierarchy of planets as it is placed in the center of the
solar system and it controls all the other planets due to its gravitational force. It provides
light and heat to other planets and heavenly bodies. Likewise, Sun in the horoscope
represents the leadership attributes of the individual. The characteristics which are
required to lead like confidence, will power, courage, motivation, fearless attitude, etc are
all can be seen from the position of the Sun. If one has to reach any high position, to become
a leader, to achieve name & fame, Sun has to be strong in the horoscope. When he is strong,
all these qualities come very naturally.
4. Father
Sun signifies father in astrology. The genes from the father’s side are represented by the
Sun. The negative effect of other planets especially Rahu causes pitru dosha for the native.
Also, the position of the Sun will give a clue about the father of the native. When we talk
about father, it is not only about biological father, but can also be about the fatherly figure
in life like a boss, a mentor, teacher, etc. Malefic Sun will indicate problems from the boss or
supervisors.
5. Health
Sun is the main significator of health and immune system. Sun controls the functioning of
digestion, heart, eyesight.
6. Authority
Sun represents authority, dominance, and supremacy. When we say authority and
dominance, it is not necessarily over others. The authority could be over any subject matter
also. Wherever Sun is posited, the native will have authority over the significations of that
house. It shows the areas in which the native may try to dominate. This is the reason, Sun
signifies Government, business or high ranking positions. Generally, it is the place where
one can exercise maximum authority. It need not be only about Government but rather
about the position of influence. Also, a positive Sun will influence the native to have a closer
relationship with influential people. Similarly, malefic Sun indicates problems from the
authorities. If the Sun is associated with the house of profession, they may work directly in
a government office or will be connected with the government in any way.

Kalidasa are as follows.

Nature of the Sun
The Sun is fiery in nature. The fire of the Sun is in the form of light, which is essential to
sustain life. It will fuel creativity, warmth, and optimism in life. Sun’s fire is in alignment
with the Leo sign, which is more to do with sustenance and nourishment.

Mercury in Vedic Astrology

Budha is also called as ‘Soumya’ which means son of Soma (Chandra). Budha or Mercury is
known as messenger of the Gods in astrology. It is the fast moving and closest planet to the
Sun in solar system.

Mercury is also a name of element or metal, which also holds similar characteristics of a
Planet Mercury. Mercury as a metal gains the shape of a vessel it holds. It does not change
because of its association with other elements. It can transform iron into Gold, yet it
remains Mercury. Mercury is like a Yogi, neutrality is its quality. He is in absolute sink with
both extremes. When Mercury is associated with other planets, it behaves like other planet.
But it does not lose its inherent characteristic. Mercury as a neutral planet, does not have
any prejudice. it just reflects characteristics of the other planets like crystal.

Importance of Mercury
Budha signifies intelligence. It controls the complete brain and uses the cerebellum for
doing anything with intelligence. Mercury does not represent hard work but it believes in
smart work. It provides intelligence to make modification of the work in a shorter and
smarter way. So it the primary karaka for the innovation. Mercury also signify speech. For
good communication, Mercury should be well placed in the chart. Mercurians are the best
diplomats. They can convey the message very clearly.

Mercury is the neuter or napunsak planet. Generally it is perceived as neither male nor
female and lack of interest in sex, but it is not like that. It is in a state of complete balance of
male and female energy. Generally a male craves for female because he lacks in female
energy in him. Similarly a female energy craves from male energy because she lacks
musculine energy.So balance manifests for that time. But for mercury, it will be in balance.
It will be the best state to become a Yogi.

It is said in scriptures that,

Shlishta Vaak Sathatha Hhasya Ruchihi

Pittha Marutha Kapha Prakruthishcha

The meaning of above verse is that the primary significations of Mercury are jovial, clever
and winning people with his wits. He symbolises all the tridoshas i.e. Vata (airy), Pitta
(bilious) and Kapha (phlegmatic) immaterial of his position in the zodiac.

One with strong Mercury will be good looking, intelligent. He will be an amazing
communicator, possesses good business acumen, flexible to any situation. Mercury deals
with trade and business. A strong Mercury can make the person to work independently in
business dealings. They will be very logical and practical people, and not emotional. They
have strong analytical skills, they have the ability to visualize and solve any complex
problems be it in theoretical or in real life. They are multidimensional as Mercury gives the
ability to think in different angles. Like in the game of chess, the player has to think all the
possible scenarios and also he should anticipate opponents moves, Mercurian is capable of
the same.

As Mercury is the karaka for education, the association of Mercury with other planets will
reveal the interest of the native towards different branches in education. Please understand
that these are not only about formal education. These are triggering of interest in native.

of the examples of education streams are: When Sun and Mercury associated gives interest

designing, Interior decoration, Architectural engineering, genetic science, Arts & fine arts, ;

engineering, waste management, environmental engineering, any job oriented training like

Rahu in Vedic Astrology

If you search for Rahu in the sky even with sharpest of telescopes, you will not find it.
Because Rahu is not a physical planet, it is an imaginary point in the sky. But Rahu and its
tail Ketu are very important in analysis in vedic astrology. Rahu along with Ketu are
shadow planets which are formed because of movement of Sun and Moon. They does not
have their own physical significations. They give result based on its dispositor and
conjoined planet in a horoscope. Rahu is called as Dragon’s head and Ketu as Dragon’s tail.
Periodically Rahu-Ketu will eclipse Sun and Moon. Read more on Eclipse and mythological
storyhere.
Rahu is a mystic planet and it creates an eclipse or illusion over the planets it is associated
and the house itself. If dispositor of Rahu is strong, then it may not harm the house
significations much. Rahu with Sun and Moon are more dangerous than other planets. Sun
represents our soul and Moon represents our mind. When Rahu eclipse these planets, self
and mind respectively gets disturbed. Based on the intensity of affliction to Sun and Moon,
the results will vary. When Rahu afflicts other planets, still there can be problems related to
significations of that planet.

Sages have said ‘Shanivat Rahu and Kujavat Ketu’ which means Rahu acts like Saturn and
Ketu acts like Kuja. The reason being Saturn looks after past Karma of the native and Rahu
looks after unfulfilled desires of one’s past. We all take birth in this world to fulfill our past
desires and also the Karma. Rahu in the horoscope shows the area where the native has
some unfulfilled wants and desires. Based on the strength of its dispositor, it shows
longing, yearning and burning aspirations. Sometimes it goes out of control and becomes
addiction, cravings and compulsions. At this point of time, Rahu shadows the mind and the
native cannot judge what is right and wrong.

Rahu is considered as a malefic planet and it can create lot of hurdles and disturbances.
Rahu is a mysterious and secretive planet. Rahu can instill cunningness and deceitful
nature in the native. Especially if it is with Mars, it can create criminal tendencies also.
Many of the politicians and criminals will have prominent Rahu in their horoscope. But at
certain places, Rahu gives abundant wealth and material possessions. If its dispositor helps,
the native gets huge name and fame. It can even give celebrity status to the native. It gives
sudden events either positive or negative. It can take the person to a very big height and
the intensity of downfall will also be very sharp. If you see horoscopes of many celebrities
like film stars, sports personalities, politicians and in many other fields, Rahu played very
important role in their chart. On a materialistic perspective, Rahu posited in signs owned
by Venus and Mercury gives favourable results.

Rahu and Ketu play a very vital part in our life. These two behave in completely opposite
manner. Both take one to the extreme. Rahu always tries to keep us in illusion or Maya. It
always makes us to cling to this material world. Love, attachments, falsehood etc are all the
byproducts of Rahu. It will create a shadow effect on the planets it conjoins. If Rahu is well
placed in birth chart, it can give unimaginable comforts. On the other hand, Ketu tries to
pull us out from this material world or it removes one out of illusion. It gives renunciation.
That is the reason Ketu is called Mokshakaraka. No doubt both are heavyweight malefic
Planets. But one keeps you in illusion and other takes you out from this illusion. But again
they would not do anything alone; they will do everything with the help of other planets.
Both the planets show Karmic backlog in a horoscope.

It is said in scriptures that rahu has the own house of Virgo (Kanya), Moolatrikona in Leo
(Simha), exalted in Gemini (Mithuna) and debilitated in Sagittarius (Dhanus). It is also
believed from many scholars that Rahu is exalted in Taurus (Vrishabha) and debilitated in
Scorpio (Vrishchika).
Other Astrological Significations
Rahu signify gambling, cheating, thief, black magic, well built, explosion, dark secrets,
mysticism, illegality, foreign language, conspiracy, secret acts etc.

Ketu is called as ‘Mokshakaraka’ in Astrology. He influences spirituality and self realization.


A favourable Ketu in a chart can give knowledge of self, intuitive power, inquisitiveness to
know the unknown. It helps one to learn occult science like mantra, tantra, astrology etc.
He represents philosophy, psychic abilities and helps to come out of illusion thereby
liberation. Ketu gives lot of obstacles in material world but promotes spirituality.

It is said in dictum as ‘Kuja vath Ketu’ which means Ketu behaves as Kuja or Mars. It
represents and gives the result like Mars. Here Ketu signify sudden events, transformation
etc. in a spiritual path. Ketu like Mars is a fiery planet which helps to burn the material
desires.

Rahu and Ketu shows some karmic backlog in the chart. Rahu shows some unfulfilled
desires of the past life while Ketu shows over indulgence in the past life. If Ketu is badly
posited in the chart, that shows the native in the past life might have excessively enjoyed
with greed at the cost of others. The position of Ketu will determine the specific area of life
where the native had over indulgence. In this life, Ketu makes that person to be discontent
in those areas or gives lot of obstacles. It can either give lot of problems in achieving the
particular goal or make him completely detached from that.
