Sun or Suryanarayana


Sun is the emperor of remaining ashtagrahas( eight planets).He is known as Suryanarayana, meaning visible form of lord Vishnu.He is the creator,sustainer and destroyer of life on earth.Therefore he is the embodiment of thrimurthis- Brahma ,Vishnu maheshwara — in this visible world.Aditya( another name of sun which means son of aditi) is the source of light for the 5 nakshatra graha( star like planets- mercury,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn and Venus) and Chandra( moon).Thus he is the primary luminary.Owing to all these qualities,sun is the best planet to represent soul.Therefore is the only planet, which is considered as a papa graha(natural malefic) as well as Satvika(most good natured).

According to jaimini system sun is the permanent Atmakaraka.Soul is a part of paramatma,like a drop from an ocean.The drop must have all the qualities of water from ocean ,like wise sun represents soul by its property of light.

Simha(Leo) is the own house of sun.Simha rashi represents a lion which is the best sign to present sun the emperor.He is usually depicted as riding a chariot ridden by 7 horses representing 7 components of white light.It is controlled by Aruna(son of vinatha, mother of garuda- thus Aruna is a brother of garuda-)

Sun gets exalted in the sign of Mesha(Aries) — more specifically in 10th degree of Mesha.Sun covers entire elliptical in 365 days.Thus covers 1° in one day. He is exalted in 10th day of the month of Mesha(falling on 24/25 of April every year).This day is very important regarding the commencement of agriculture in almost whole of south asia(India,Nepal, Bhutan,and shri lanka) along with some parts of Tibet, Myanmar,southwest china,northern Thailand and Laos.

Sun gets debilitated in the sign of Thula( Libra) ,more exactly 10 th degree of Libra.

The duration of sun in a sign is 30/31 days and it represents a month.In Indian solar calendar,each month is named according to the sign in which sun is posited.The month of

Mesha is from : 14/15 of April to 14/15 of may

Vrishabha: mid May to june

Mithuna: mid June to july

Karkataka: mid July to august

Simha:mid August to september

Kanya:mid September to october

Thula: mid October to mid November

Vrishchika:mid November to mid December

Dhanu: mid December to january

Makara: mid January to february

Kumbha:mid February to mid march

Meena: mid March to mid April.

Thus completing a full year.

In a chart sun represents ones own soul, his father, his image in the world, pride and so on.Sun is with his maximum power in terms of Dig Bala(directional strength) when he is posited in 10 th house of chart.It represents mid noon in real world.

From second half of 1st house to 1st half of 7 th house in a horoscope indicates inner (invisible)qualities of native,that are known to native or his close relatives and friends.The other half, from 2nd half of 7th house to 1st half of 1 St house indicates outer qualities (or known or visible qualities) of the native.When sun gets posited in 10 th house,it is present at the centre of visible houses,thus iluminating all aspects in tis area.Such a native will be well known in his circle.He is likely to serve the government.But if the rashi becomes too bad or too good, it may cause arrogance in the native.Sun is devoid of digbala in 4 th house,that is midnight.In this position,it is found that mother of such native will do the work of his father and father will do the work of mother.Such a native will be working in government,since sun aspects the 10 th house, but in a unknown manner towards public,but his role will be very important.

Sun has a property that is not found in any other planet.That is ,whenever any other planet (except rahu and ketu)comes too near to him, their power will get diminished in the light of sun.This is called as astha planet( combust)This repeatedly occurs with mercury and Venus.

Sun has friendly relationship with Jupiter,moon ,mars and mercury is considered as equivalent.Venus and Saturn are enemical to sun.Rahu and ketu are worst enemies of sun.Saturn ,even though son of Surya(sun) considers sun as enemy ,because of some incidents that occured to his mother, Cchaya Devi.Sun has another son- Yama, and a daughter- Yamuna.The earthly embodiment of Yamuna is the river Yamuna.She is most auspicious near vrindavana and it is considered to be very good to take a dip in Yamuna, as a solution to pacify sun in chart.
