The Sun

The Sun in the First House or Ascendant

Sutras 1-21: If the Sun is posited in the First House or Ascendant, the native will enjoy good health. He will be of bilious constitution and will suffer from diseases of the eye. He will be wise and of good conduct. He will have acidic stomach and will be bereft of knowledge and sense. He will be highly intelligent, will speak less, and will wander away from his native place. He will be happy. If the Sun is in Aries (that is in his sign of exaltation), the native will get name and fame. If such Sun is aspected by benefics, the native will become highly learned. If the Sun is in debilitation (that is, in the sign Libra), the native will be dignified. He will, however, be devoid of learning, and power and be blind. These ill effects will not be felt, if the Sun is aspected by benefics (Jupiter or Venus). If the Sun be in Leo, or Leo Navamsha, the native will acquire lordship over some territory.

Such unfavourable effects will not be felt if the Sun is aspected by benefics.

He will have defective eye sight, if Sun be in Aries in the ascendant. The Sun in Leo will make the native night blind. If the Sun be in Libra, the native will be poor and issueless.

Chamatkar Chintamani: The native who has the Sun in the ascendant has a good nose and body and a high forehead. He is troubled on account of his wife, children and family. He suffers from bilious diseases. He is always travelling. His wealth is not constant. He has ups and downs in this respect.

The Sun in the Second House

Sutras 22-32: If the Sun is in the second house, the native will suffer from diseases of the mouth. In his 25th year he will incur wrath of Government and as a consequence will suffer loss of wealth. This will not happen if the Sun is in Aries (that is, exalted) or in Leo (own sign). If Sun is associated with a malefic, the native will get diseases of the eye, he will have little knowledge of ancient scriptures (Shastras) and will remain in ill health. If the Sun is aspected by benefics the native will be protected from the above evil effects and will become wealthy. If the Sun is with Mercury the native will stammer in speech. If the lord of the second house is posited in his sign of exaltation, the native will talk succinctly and clearly, will have knowledge of ancient scriptures, will be learned, will enjoy good eye sight. This disposition will cause Rajayoga as a result of which native will acquire name, fame and wealth.

The Sun in the Third House

Sutras 33-42: If the Sun is in the third house, the native will be brotherless (no younger brothers) and his elder brothers will not survive. In the 4th, 5th 8th and the 12th years he will suffer from bodily troubles. If the Sun is associated with a malefic, the Native will do cruel deeds. He will have two mothers and will be valourous because when the Sun alone will deny younger brothers vide Sutra 33, how can he with association of a malefic give two brothers). He will be a brave fighter. He will have a good reputation and will enjoy his wealth. If the Sun is associated with a benefic, the brothers will become prosperous. If the lord of the third house is strong, the brother will be long lived. If the Sun is associated with a malefic and is also aspected by a malefic the family will be destroyed .
