The Sun (Surya) is the king of the planetary system and represents authority, vitality, fatherhood, health, fame, and self-confidence in Vedic astrology. When the Sun is weak, afflicted, or negatively placed in one’s birth chart, it can lead to lack of confidence, health issues, poor relationships with father or authority, and diminished recognition. Luckily, there are many practical and effective remedies that can help you balance the energy of the Sun and receive its blessings in abundance.

Common Signs of a Weak or Afflicted Sun

• Lack of self-esteem or confidence
• Poor leadership qualities
• Health problems, especially related to eyes, bones, or heart
• Troubled relationships with father or superiors
• Lack of recognition and appreciation in work or life
• Skin problems, frequent fevers, or low immunity
