Surya (Sun) is the king of all planets in Vedic astrology and represents the soul, vitality, and life force. As the center of the solar system, the Sun governs authority, leadership, government positions, and father figures. A strong Sun in the birth chart bestows confidence, fame, health, and political success. A weak or afflicted Sun can cause ego issues, health problems related to the heart and bones, and difficulties with authority figures. The Sun spends approximately one month in each zodiac sign and is the natural significator (karaka) of the 1st house (self) and 10th house (career/fame).
