In Vedic astrology, Sun is considered as one of the most important planets and is referred to as the King of the planets. It represents the soul, self-confidence, authority, leadership, and vitality. Sun is also known as Surya and is worshipped as a deity in Hinduism.

In terms of karakatwas, or significations, Sun is considered the karaka or significator for the following areas:

Sun Exaltation and Debilitation

In Vedic astrology, the Sun planet has an exaltation and debilitation sign, which can affect its strength and influence in a person’s birth chart.

The exaltation sign for the Sun is Aries, which means that the Sun is considered to be most powerful when placed in Aries. This placement can bring strong leadership abilities, confidence, and vitality.

On the other hand, the debilitation sign for the Sun is Libra, which means that the Sun is considered to be weakest when placed in Libra. This placement can bring a lack of confidence, indecisiveness, and difficulty asserting oneself.

It is important to note that the impact of the Sun’s placement in a person’s birth chart is not solely determined by its exaltation or debilitation sign. The placement of the Sun in different houses, signs, and aspects, as well as the overall strength of the chart, can also have an impact on its influence.
