Sun in Vedic astrology occupies the position of the king due to being at the center of it all. Being our natural father, it stands for all the masculine influences in one’s life including Father, husband, and male children. It is the king so represents authority and relation with government too. While Sun represents our innermost self - the soul, we as individuals tend to only manifest the outer self or ego. It gives the natives the ability to lead, desire to earn name and fame, an ambitious attitude, optimism, and a strong will to tackle challenges effectively.

Sun in astrology is also considered to have a regal air so it rules royalty, state and the higher positions as well. It also signifies good health, vitality and wellbeing. A strong Sun in horoscope indicates a person with leadership qualities. Such a person usually enjoys a higher position in society and shares a cordial relationship with father. Native with positively placed Sun is also dependable, generous, and mature.

This fiery planet can be detrimental to health if negatively placed causing baldness, headaches, weak eyesight, blood circulation related problems, bone weakness, and heart problems. A weak Sun in horoscope can also affect one’s relation with father or cause problem to father. Natives with weak Sun usually suffer from low stamina, self-esteem, and indecisiveness. Too strong Sun can result in a domineering or aggressive personality. Such a person may be self-centered and someone who always seeks to be at the center of all action.

According to Vedic astrology, Sun is not only the Karaka planet for father and one’s soul but it is also the Karaka of the first and the ninth house in a Janma Kundali. It is also the Karaka planet of wheat, jaggery, malka dal, red sandalwood, red clothes and other red-coloured things. Sun can also be associated with forests, mountains, government and state related matters since Sun is considered to be the King of all the planets. Due to this reason, Sun is also considered the Karaka of bravery, anger, separation, violence and courage. It is also the Karaka planet for gold and Ruby.

The auspicious and inauspicious results related to all these things will depend on the placement of the Sun. You will get auspicious results when Sun is present in an auspicious house and is strongly placed. Otherwise, it will give inauspicious results.

For example, if you are trying to get a government job, you can only get one if Sun is in an auspicious house and in a strong position. This is because Sun is the Karak planet for issues related to government. We can analyse other things in the same way.
