What Sun Governs
Sun (Surya) governs soul, ego, vitality, leadership, father. The strength and placement of Sun in your birth chart shapes how these areas of life unfold — supportively when well-placed, with friction when afflicted.
When Sun Is Strong
A strong, well-placed Sun brings clarity in the areas it rules. You experience natural confidence, opportunity and recognition aligned with the planet's signification. Decisions feel timed, and effort produces visible results.
When Sun Is Weak
A weak or afflicted Sun can manifest as repeated obstacles in its domains — relationship friction, career delays, health concerns, or financial blockages depending on the chart. The remedies below help strengthen Sun's positive expression.
