Just like the Sun is the central and most important planet in our Solar System, so is the Sun in the birth chart. It signifies the soul, the very core of your existence. When a person asks, “What is my purpose in life?”, the astrologer looks at the Sun's position as it shows the core of personality, the soul, the divine spark within that reincarnates life after life and wants to express itself!
Life fulfillment is not possible without understanding and working with the Sun in the birth chart. You might achieve every goal you set for yourself, but at the end of the day, you’ll still feel like something is missing in life, unless the goal aligns with your Sun!
The Sun shows your individual and unique path to self-realization that is unlike anyone else's you know— not your parents', not your children's, not your partner's. A strong Sun ends the vicious circle of self-doubt and comparison.
Signs of a Challenged Sun might look like:
Lack of purpose and clarity in life. You’re not sure what you are meant to do in this lifetime.
Lack of vitality, happiness, and energy.
Hesitancy to express yourself. You shy away from being at the center of attention, asserting yourself, being a leader.
Having a hard time getting recognized for your efforts.
Problems with authorities.
Self-doubt, low self-worth, self-consciousness, lacking in self-confidence.
Melancholy, depression, postpartum depression.
Problems with the father, having a difficult father, abusive father, or a father who was absent or indifferent in childhood.
Codependency, lack of autonomy.
Lack of conviction in your ideas, low willpower.
Looking for others to take responsibility for your life, your actions, and well-being.
Lack of sovereignty, self-reliance, and inner authority.
Having challenges getting hired, finding a job that you love.
Problems with health, especially poor eyesight, low energy, poor digestion, heart problems.
Who can benefit from working with the Sun:
Anyone who wants to improve the qualities mentioned above. There are moments in life when we start to question our purpose and want a more soul-aligned life. If this is you, it’s time to work with the Sun.
People who have challenging Sun positions in the birth chart, such as:
Sun in Libra
Sun in 6th, 8th, 12th houses
Sun conjunct malefic planets (Mars, Saturn, Ketu, and Rahu)
Anyone who is going through the Sun dasha (planetary period).
Remedial Measures for the Sun:
How do you work with your Sun? Ancient Vedic seers left us Upayas or Remedial Measures to work with every single planet to improve our karma with it. Karma simply means “action”. Remedial measures for the planets are based on the idea that you perform an action in the name of the planet to activate its energy and improve the karma related to it. This is the practical side of Vedic Astrology and includes a variety of techniques that I have put together in my course, such as:
Mantra for the Sun
Therapeutic Myth
Gemstone Therapy
Lifestyle Changes
Working with the home environment
and many others.
If you are interested in improving the Sun and inviting its energy into your life, this course is for you!
