Mumbai: In Vedic astrology, the Sun is regarded as the king of all nine planets (Navagraha). Its position and placement in a person’s birth chart (kundli) can significantly shape their life path. A strong Sun is believed to bestow fame, respect, and leadership in society, while a weak Sun can lead to obstacles, health issues, and loss of confidence.
Astrologers say the strength of the Sun determines a person’s self-esteem, decision-making abilities, and social standing. When the Sun is weak, its negative influence can touch various aspects of life, from career to relationships. Let’s explore when the Sun is considered weak, the signs that reveal its weakness, and the remedies suggested to strengthen it.
When is the Sun considered weak in astrology?
According to astrologers, the Sun is deemed weak in a kundli when it is debilitated in Libra, conjunct with malefic planets, or positioned in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house. Such placements can lower self-confidence, damage self-respect, and impair decision-making skills.
