What Planet Sun Represents in Astrology
You might have read many guides or watched hundreds of videos on YouTube learning about the Planet Sun. Unfortunately, most of the guides that we have read on the internet misinterpreted the role of Planet Sun.
In Vedic Astrology, Sun represents your Soul and your father. Yes, it represents willpower, dedication, ego, authority, and many other things, but the first and foremost thing that the planet represents is your Soul.
Since Sun represents your soul, it’s automatically linked with your inner strength. How hard you will thrive in your life to survive, how you will emotionally react in an adverse situation, how far you can go, what level of inner strength you have are all decided by the placement of the Sun in your horoscope.
It’s not a planet directly linked with prosperity, financial success, marriage, etc. However, without the power of the Sun, you won’t be able to succeed in any aspect of your life. Next to Mars, Sun is the only planet in astrology that gives us the inner power to survive and fight through the end.
We have already discussed Sun in astrology in one of our guides. Please refer to that article to explore the secrets of the Sun in astrology.

Sun in the 1st House of Astrology
After knowing about the Planet Sun and the 1st House of astrology, it’s time to know about the secrets of the Sun in the 1st House. As we know, the 1st House deals without self-image, the planet placed in the 1st House tells a lot about our personality.
If no planets were placed in the 1st House, then we need to analyze the sign of the 1st House. So, what happens when Sun gets posited in the first House? Does it make or break things? Let’s unveil the truths of the Sun in the 1st House.
Sun, the actual soul signifier and the fatherly figure, gets posited in the House of self; it indicates that things will be positive. Whatever they do in life, they strive to be at the top.
Sun in 1st House – Personality
When the Sun is posited in the first House of astrology, the native feels as if they are entitled to everything in life. There is a sense of authority attached to their every move; for example, when they work for others, they feel like what I am doing where, why can’t I be the boss?.
Sun is the natural significator of your Soul, and the 1st House is all about yourself. When the Sun is placed in the very 1st House, it connects the native with their Soul or self. These natives usually acquire divine knowledge very easily, and Sun here makes the native understand what life actually is.
When posited in the 1st House, Sun’s energies modify the intensity of every Aspect of the 1st House like the ego, self-esteem, self-belief, willpower, etc. Therefore the individual gains a high level of self-esteem, self-confidence, willpower, desire to discover life, and everything that sets them apart from others.
Also, according to Kalpurush Kundli, Sun rules the sign of 5th House – Leo. So, according to this concept, if the 5th lord gets placed in the 1st House of self, it gives creative & artistic talents to the individuals.
If it feels comfortable, Sun in the First House gives individuals a very dynamic and charismatic personality. When they come to the stage, they would be noticed; others would listen and watch. And these natives love that, and the more center attention they get, the ego builds.
Sun’s Aspect in the 7th house Marriage/Spouse
Naturally, Sun aspects the 7th House of every chart. So, when it comes to the 1st House, it has a direct aspect to the 7th House. 7th House represents your partners and partnership in business, work, and marriage.
Unless Sun is in its own/friendly sign, the Aspect of Sun in the 7th House does not generally facilitate the marriage life. Sun here brings ego into the home life of the native, and even worse, the partner will also exhibit this level of the ego because Sun has a direct aspect to the 7th House.
From the Ascendant, Sun has a direct aspect to the 7th House, which means your ego will also be seen on your life partner. If Sun is poorly placed in the chart, there will be frequent ego clashes with life partners. Both of them would try to dominate each other, even in the home.
Sun in 1st House also results in a short-lived business partnership because the native here usually dominates their partner. However, the sign placement, other planetary aspects, and dignity of the Sun will denote the actual outcome of its 7th Aspect.
