According to classical Vedic astrology and the BPHS tradition, the Sun signifies the soul, vitality, father, authority, power, status, and inner radiance. It is the royal graha and shows a person’s capacity for leadership, self-respect, courage, and public visibility. A strong Sun can give confidence, clarity, honor, and commanding presence, while an afflicted Sun may create ego issues, insecurity, conflicts with authority, or weakened self-expression. The Sun also reflects one’s will, purpose, and the drive to live with dignity and recognition.
