| Sun |
In Vedic astrology,
the Sun is the principle of light, life and love, or true-will and perception.
It is the most important factor for determining the spiritual life and
potential of an individual. It represents the soul - the causal body or
reincarnating entity - whose will is behind our fate. It is also the mind
or the mental principle on a lower level as reason, discernment, clarity
and illumination.
A well-placed
Sun gives intelligence, perception, strength of will and character. It
affords endurance, stamina, vitality, positive spirit, direction, courage,
conviction, confidence, leadership, independence and straightforwardness.
Without it, whatever we may do or accomplish in life will not be ours
and will not give us inner strength or peace. An ill placed Sun gives
lack of intelligence, poor perception, weakness of will and character.
It creates lack of endurance, low vitality, melancholy, fear, dependency
or servitude and deviousness or dishonesty.
An overly strong
but malefic Sun creates pride, arrogance, tyranny and control. It creates
much of the same problems as Mars (or Saturn) when too strong. It can
give a deceptive charisma and a dominating personality. When the Sun is
strong, we outshine everyone else for good or bad, depending on whether
its disposition is benefic or malefic, conscious or unconscious.
A weak but spiritually
disposed Sun makes us receptive, wanting to do good, and self-effacing.
Yet we may lack in confidence and come under the rule of other people.
We will seek to sacrifice ourselves but may not know what cause to give
ourselves over to.
