These individuals have to learn that there are far more important things on this planet than their needs. Seldom such an individual will notice that they are too self-centered, because this feels natural to them. The individual will have the opinion, that he/she is the center of the universe. This can be compared with the planets revolving around the Sun. With the Sun placed in the first house, this can make the individual self-centered and egoistic. It is the beginning of life, because it sets the entire chart of an individual.

The first house represents the self, the physical appearance and health.

#STARING AT THE SUN SPIRITUAL FULL#
The Sun hinders the combust planet from releasing its full potential. When the Sun is too close to a planet, we call it combustion. It has a neutral relationship towards Mercury and is enemies with Venus and Saturn. When it comes to the planetary relationships, the Sun behaves friendly towards the Moon, Mars and Jupiter. It needs approximately one month to travel across one constellation and therefor moves about one degree per day. Like the Moon, the Sun never goes retrograde. Aries is the Sun’s exaltation sign with its strongest exaltation at 10 degrees. The Sun is debilitated in Libra with its strongest debilitation at 10 degrees. It is strongest in the 10th house and during day time. The Sun represents the color red and rules the bones in a body. Depending on the state of one’s Sun, this aspect can have different outcomes. With this aspect it shines its authority on that particular house. No matter where the Sun is placed in a birth chart, it always aspects the house exactly opposite of it and therefor influences this house as well. But the presence of the Sun in any house can give you trouble, because the Sun is considered a natural malefic in Vedic Astrology. The Sun is a life giving force, because without the Sun we wouldn’t exist. Like a lion, the Sun is proud and signifies power. Like the Moon, it only rules over one rashi – Leo.

The Sun – Surya – is the atma karaka (significator) for the soul.
