The Sun (Health & Astrology)

The Sun dwells within the hearts of all of us as our inner Sun, our inner light and life.  Without this inner light, no perception could be possible.  Without this inner life, we could not even breathe.  Just as there is the movement of the outer Sun through the constellations of the zodiac, so there is the movement of the inner Sun through the chakras of our subtle or astral body which reflects our birth chart.

A well-placed Sun gives intelligence, perception and strength of will and character.  It affords, endurance, stamina, vitality, positive spirit, direction, courage, conviction, confidence, leadership, independence and straightforwardness.  Without it, whatever we may do or accomplish in life will not be ours and will not give us inner strength or peace.  A poorly placed Sun gives lack of intelligence, low vitality, melancholy, fear, dependency or servitude, deviousness or dishonesty. David Frawley

The sun-sign is what you desire to accomplish; the house (bhava) is what you are able to do; the Arudha Lagna (AL) is how you do it. Where is your Sun (Surya) placed in your chart?  Get in contact to learn more.
