What Sun Governs
The Sun represents your core identity, conscious will, ego, and the essence of who you are.
Sun in the Natal Chart
The Sun's sign and house reveal your core identity and where you seek recognition and creative expression. Sun in Aries needs conquest; Sun in the 7th house shines through relationships.
Sun Transits
The transiting Sun activates each house of your chart for approximately 30 days. When the Sun crosses your Ascendant you begin a new personal year. When it opposes your natal Sun you reach your solar opposition — a time of external feedback and course correction.
Sun in Vedic Astrology
In Vedic astrology, the Sun (Surya) represents the soul, father, authority, and the government. It is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. The Sun rules the 5th house naturally and its Dasha period lasts 6 years.
