Power, Soul & Authority – The Celestial King in Your Horoscope

Introduction to Surya Graha

In Indian Vedic Astrology, Surya (Sun) is one of the most powerful planets and is considered the King of the Navagrahas (nine planets). It symbolizes the self, soul (Atma), ego, vitality, willpower, and authority. Surya governs leadership, recognition, fame, and one’s physical health and immunity.

Astronomical and Astrological Role

Surya represents the fire element (Agni Tattva) and rules over the zodiac sign Simha (Leo). It is a masculine, royal, and Sattvic planet that influences one's father, government, honor, and higher consciousness.

Sun's Influence in Different Houses

The placement of Surya in various houses of a natal chart affects aspects like personality (1st house), wealth (2nd house), communication (3rd house), mother and emotions (4th house), intelligence (5th house), and so on. A strong Sun in beneficial houses brings respect, status, and vitality.
