The Sun is considered the King among all the planets. It acts like a silent observer watching everything, exposing truth, but not always speaking up. Wherever the Sun is placed in your birth chart, it brings light and clarity. But that same light can either guide or burn, depending on how it’s positioned and how you handle its energy.
The Sun represents your ego, soul, father, government, self-respect, bones, and fame. It shows how confident you are and whether you seek leadership or recognition. A strong Sun gives you natural authority and respect. But if the Sun is weak or badly placed, it can lead to ego issues, strained relationships with your father, lack of direction, or struggles with authority figures.
The Sun rules the 5th house, which also links it to intelligence, children, creativity, and decision-making power. That’s why a well-placed Sun can make someone a powerful thinker, leader, or public figure. But it also comes with a warning about too much ego or pride.
The color connected to the Sun is orange or copper, its metal is gold, and it’s connected to high places like rooftops, government offices, and temples. It doesn’t like to share its space, so even friendly planets can feel “burned” if they sit too close to the Sun in the chart.
The Sun also shows how your relationship with your father will be warm and strong or distant and difficult. It rules over the eyes (especially the right eye), the heart, and your overall vitality. A weak Sun may lead to problems in these areas and may cause a person to feel unimportant or invisible, no matter how hard they try.
Let’s see the Sun in all twelve from the perspective of Lal Kitab.
Sun in 1st House
The Sun in the 1st house represents the most direct and unfiltered expression of solar energy in a birth chart. This placement aligns self-expression (Sun) with the house of personal identity and physical manifestation (1st house).
At the deepest psychological level, this placement indicates a soul whose primary journey involves authentic self-realization and expression of individual essence. The native experiences an unusually direct connection between inner essence and outer expression – what you see is genuinely what you get. Lal Kitab emphasizes “raj-paat” (governance), which reflects not just external authority but the native’s capacity to govern themselves with clarity and purpose.
The relationship with the father mentioned in the Lal Kitab (“baap ka raaj bhi milta”) has deeper implications beyond mere inheritance. The father’s personality becomes deeply integrated into the native’s identity structure, creating both strengths (natural authority) and potential blind spots (difficulty separating individual identity from paternal expectations). This integration of the father’s personality often manifests as the person unconsciously displaying paternal qualities whether they intend to or not.
The connection to eyesight mentioned (“ankh ki roshni”) has deeper significance. Our eyes represent perception and worldview. This placement grants clarity of vision allowing the native to see themselves and their path with unusual clarity, though sometimes with blind spots regarding their impact on others.
On a spiritual level, this placement represents a soul that has evolved to express divine light directly through personality. The challenge lies not in finding one’s light but in tempering its brightness so it benefits others rather than overwhelms them. The potential for ego inflation mentioned earlier isn’t merely a personality flaw but a spiritual challenge of balancing individual expression with universal connection.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 1st House
- Feed wheat to birds, especially on Sundays
- Respect your father and maintain good relations with him
- Donate copper coins in flowing water
- Wear a copper bracelet on the right hand
- Offer water to the rising Sun daily
Sun in 2nd House
The Sun in the 2nd house creates a complex dynamic between the principle of self-expression (Sun) and material resources, values, and security (2nd house). This placement exposes one’s relationship with the material world, creating both challenges and opportunities for growth.
On a psychological level, this placement shows a person whose sense of identity and self-worth becomes deeply intertwined with resource management and value systems. Lal Kitab warns Sun in the 2nd house by saying “dhan ko na tikaaye” (wealth does not stabilize). However, the deeper meaning is that it shows the native’s relationship with resources becomes a vehicle for ego development
The family conflicts mentioned (“baap se bhi bigde, bhai se jhagda paaye”) reveal how resource management becomes a testing ground for ego boundaries. These conflicts arise not merely from practical disagreements but from fundamental differences in values and identity expression through material means.
The reference to “karz lekar kaam chalaya” (running affairs through loans) shows a pattern where the native must learn to receive before they can truly possess. This means Sun in the 2nd must learn to be interdependent rather than always being self-sufficient. The father relationship often becomes the primary arena where these lessons of receiving versus independence play out.
On an internal level, this placement represents the soul learning to channel divine light (Sun) into material form (2nd house). The financial fluctuations experienced aren’t mere challenges but spiritual lessons about attachment, value, and the relationship between inner worth and outer resources.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 2nd House
- Float copper coins in flowing water on Sundays
- Donate wheat and jaggery to the poor
- Respect elders in the family
- Mix sugar in milk and offer it to the rising Sun
- Wear a copper ring in the ring finger
Sun in 3rd House
The Sun in the 3rd house creates a powerful synergy between self-expression (Sun) and communication, learning, and immediate environment (3rd house).
Sun in 3rd house indicates someone whose identity becomes expressed primarily through communication, intellectual pursuits, and interactions with their immediate environment. Lal Kitab describes Sun in the 3rd house by saying “himmat ko badhaye” (increasing courage). This shows Sun 3rd native’s main identity is his bravery. This bravery comes from communication.
Here, younger siblings (or those in sibling-like roles) often become mirrors reflecting the native’s teaching and leadership capacities to them. These relationships become laboratories for developing communication skills that later translate to broader social contexts.
However, Lal Kitab warns Sun in the 3rd house native by saying “rukawat nahin aaye” (obstacles not coming). This means that when a native is expressing himself, there will be no blockages. However, this can lead to an inflated ego, which can become problematic later in life. The solar energy flows so naturally in this house that the person may fail to develop depth through facing resistance.
On a metaphysical level, this placement represents the soul learning to manifest divine consciousness (Sun) through the higher dimensions of thought and communication (3rd house). The person serves as a channel for illuminating ideas and concepts, often becoming a teacher or communicator who brings clarity to complex subjects. Their life journey involves recognizing that their thoughts and words carry unusually powerful energy that can both illuminate and potentially overwhelm others.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 3rd House
- Keep sweet relations with younger siblings
- Follow father’s advice in important matters
- Feed birds with wheat on Sundays
- Help children with their education
- Respect teachers and educational institutions
Sun in 4th House
The Sun in the 4th house creates one of the most challenging placements. This position brings the principle of individuation and external expression (Sun) into the most private and internal house of home, roots, emotions, and maternal connections (4th house).
At the deepest psychological level, this placement indicates a fundamental tension between the desire for self-expression and the need for emotional security. Lal Kitabs says “maa se jhagda laaye” (brings conflict with mother). This shows emotional conflicts with the mother. The mother relationship becomes the primary arena where this tension plays out, but it extends to all intimate emotional connections.
The property issues mentioned (“makaan ki taklif”) have deeper meaning. It suggests external manifestations of internal emotional territory conflicts. The native often struggles with finding emotional grounding precisely because their core identity (Sun) feels somewhat foreign in the emotional realm (4th house). This creates the pattern mentioned in the verse where it says, “sukoon kahin na paaye” (comfort is elusive).
It gives a unique remedy for the Sun in the 4th house, which is sweet water. What we are doing is taking the karak of the house, which is Moon [water], and adding mishri to it to sweeten the relationship with the significations of the 4th house, which include mother or mother life figures.
On a spiritual level, this placement represents a soul learning to integrate its divine light (Sun) with emotional depths and ancestral patterns (4th house). The discomfort experienced isn’t merely psychological but a spiritual initiation where the soul must learn to shine its light into the most hidden emotional corners without burning away necessary structures. When integrated, this placement can create individuals who bring revolutionary light to family systems and emotional patterns that have remained hidden for generations.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 4th House
- Serve sweet water (with sugar or honey) to mother
- Donate milk to the needy
- Float copper coins in a river or lake
- Maintain harmonious relations with female family members
- Plant a peepal tree and water it regularly
Sun in 5th House
The Sun in the 5th house creates one of the most naturally harmonious placements. This position aligns self-expression (Sun) with creativity, joy, romance, and self-actualization (5th house).
Psychologically, this placement indicates someone whose identity becomes most fully expressed through creative acts and experiences of joy. The verse’s emphasis on “vidya ko badhaye” (enhancing education) shows the connection between learning and self-expression – knowledge acquisition becomes not merely practical but an extension of creative identity.
Children, both biological and metaphorical (creative projects, mentees), become mirrors reflecting the native’s creative essence to them. The relationship with children often becomes an experiment for understanding one’s creative process and authentic self-expression.
The verse notes that whether in “sarkari naukar” (government service) or at home, the person remains happy. This points to a psychological resilience that comes from having one’s core identity (Sun) aligned with natural self-expression (5th house). External circumstances matter less because fulfillment comes from within through creative self-actualization.
On a spiritual level, this placement represents a soul that has evolved to channel divine creative energy (Sun) through individual expression (5th house). The person serves as a conduit for higher creative forces, often experiencing creativity as something flowing through them rather than from them. Their journey involves recognizing that their creative gifts carry responsibility.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 5th House
- Feed jaggery and wheat flour to ants
- Respect teachers and educational institutions
- Donate books and educational materials
- Be kind to children
- Offer water to the Sun daily
Sun in 6th House
The Sun in the 6th house creates a complex dynamic between self-expression (Sun) and service, health, conflicts, and daily work (6th house). This placement illuminates the arenas of service and struggle, creating both challenges and opportunities for growth.
On a psychological level, this placement indicates a person whose sense of identity becomes intertwined with overcoming obstacles and being of service. The verse’s assertion that it “dushman ko haraaye” (defeats enemies) points to a deeper pattern where the native’s core identity development occurs through confronting and overcoming opposition. These “enemies” are often as much internal as external – representing the native’s own limitations and self-defeating patterns.
The health benefits mentioned (“bimari se bachaye, sehat ko badhaaye”) reveal how physical vitality becomes connected to purpose and service. When the native is aligned with purposeful service, their physical energy naturally increases. Conversely, when disconnected from purpose, health issues often manifest as the body’s signal that alignment has been lost.
The reference to servants or employees (“naukar acche mile”) has deeper significance beyond literal work relationships. It suggests a pattern where the native must learn to delegate and collaborate rather than carrying all burdens personally – a spiritual lesson about interdependence rather than self-sacrifice. The management of these relationships becomes a mirror reflecting the native’s relationship with their own limitations and need for support.
On an esoteric level, this placement represents the soul learning to channel divine light (Sun) into practical service (6th house) – essentially the process of making the spiritual tangible through daily acts. The native often experiences a tension between leadership instincts (Sun) and service requirements (6th house), ultimately learning that true leadership emerges through service rather than dominance.
The verse’s conclusion that “khud hi raaj kare ghar mein” (one rules in their own house) contains deeper meaning which shows mastery comes not through controlling others but through perfecting one’s domain of influence through service and daily discipline
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 6th House
- Feed birds, especially crows, on Sundays
- Donate wheat, jaggery, and red cloth to the needy
- Maintain respectful relationships with seniors and authority figures
- Wear copper on the body
- Offer water to the Sun with a copper vessel
Sun in 7th House
The Sun in the 7th house creates a fundamental tension in partnerships and relationships. This placement brings solar qualities of leadership, ego, and individuality into the space of partnership, creating a contradiction. The native’s strong personality and desire for recognition often clash with the give-and-take nature of relationships.
At a psychological level, this placement indicates a person who projects their identity through relationships but simultaneously struggles with surrendering individual sovereignty. The partner often displays the Sun like qualities being charismatic, authoritative, or possessing leadership qualities. This creates a mirror effect where the native must confront aspects of their ego through partnership dynamics.
Business partnerships face similar challenges, as the native may have difficulty sharing control and authority. The natives can face issues from government authorities or those in higher positions than them. On an inner level, this placement suggests the soul is learning lessons about balance between independence and interdependence.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 7th House
- Keep a copper vessel filled with water overnight and pour it around a peepal tree in the morning
- Husband should respect wife and avoid dominating behavior
- Wear gold next to skin
- Feed wild animals and birds
- Donate red cloth, wheat, and jaggery on Sundays
Sun in 8th House
The Sun in the 8th house creates one of the most complex and challenging placements in Lal Kitab. The 8th house represents a hidden dimension of transformation, occult knowledge, joint resources, and mortality. The Sun’s illuminating quality enters these shadowy domains, creating discomfort and potential for transformation.
Psychologically, this placement indicates a person whose identity (Sun) becomes entangled with themes of power, control, and surrender. The native may experience identity shifts throughout life, often through crisis or challenging circumstances. The father figure may be absent, hidden, or connected to themes of loss.
The health challenges mentioned in the Lal Kitab often manifest as the body’s reaction to psychological stress related to identity crises. Eye problems specifically relate to difficulties “seeing clearly” through life’s uncertainties and transformations.
On an esoteric level, this placement suggests a soul engaged in deep karmic work related to the surrender of the ego. The life path often involves letting go of superficial identity to discover deeper spiritual truths – a painful but potentially cleansing journey.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 8th House
- Donate wheat, jaggery, and copper coins on Sundays
- Flow copper coin in running water
- Respect father and avoid conflicts with authorities
- Worship Lord Shiva with bel patra (leaves)
- Feed dogs on Sundays
Sun in 9th House
The Sun in the 9th house creates a beautiful harmony between identity and higher purpose. This house governs philosophy, religion, higher education, and long-distance journeys – all realms where the Sun’s qualities of illumination and clarity provide significant benefits.
Psychologically, this placement indicates someone whose identity is deeply intertwined with their belief systems and quest for truth. Their sense of self expands beyond personal concerns to encompass universal principles and philosophical insights. The father figure often serves as a spiritual or ethical guide.
The native possesses wisdom that extends beyond intellectual knowledge, reflecting Lal Kitab’s emphasis on “gyaan” (wisdom) and “man ki shanti” (peace of mind). They often become teachers, guides, or philosophers themselves, having an ability to illuminate complex truths for others.
On a spiritual level, this placement indicates a soul that has evolved to connect individual consciousness (Sun) with universal consciousness (9th house). The rajyoga (royal combination) mentioned comes not just from material success but from this alignment between personal will and divine will.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 9th House
- Respect teachers and spiritual guides
- Donate to educational and religious institutions
- Offer water to the Sun every morning
- Maintain harmonious relations with father
- Help others in their spiritual pursuits
Sun in 10th House
The Sun in the 10th house represents the visible expression of one’s inner light in the world. This placement creates a person for whom career and social contribution become the primary vehicles for self-expression and identity.
Psychologically, the natives experience a strong identification between who they are and what they accomplish. This can create tremendous drive and focus but also vulnerability if career setbacks occur. The father figure often serves as both a role model and a measuring stick for achievement.
Lal Kitab mentions “raja sa ban kar jeeve” (living like a king) for the Sun in the 10th house. This means the person carries natural authority in him regardless of actual social position. This isn’t merely about external status but about an internal sense of purpose and dignity that radiates outward.
On an internal level, this placement represents the soul’s mission to manifest its divine light (Sun) in concrete worldly service (10th house). The highest expression isn’t fame or status but the ability to shine one’s unique light in a way that shows paths for others
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 10th House
- Be respectful to all authority figures
- Donate wheat and jaggery to the poor
- Feed cows on Sundays
- Be kind to subordinates and employees
- Wear gold on the ring finger
Sun in 11th House
The Sun in the 11th house creates a dynamic relationship between individual identity and collective engagement. This house governs social networks, groups, friendships, and long-term aspirations – areas where the Sun’s leadership and vitality create natural advantages.
Psychologically, this placement shows someone who experiences fulfillment through contribution to groups and collective endeavors. Their sense of identity expands through social connections and shared goals. Lal Kitab puts deep emphasis on “har kaam mein safalta” (success in every endeavor) speaks to how aligned the person’s individual will becomes with collective momentum. The person has to learn to lead without dominating, to shine without eclipsing others.
On a spiritual level, this placement suggests a soul that has evolved to channel individual creative power into collective benefit. The abundance mentioned in the verse comes not just from material gains but from the multiplying effect of shared resources and energy.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 11th House
- Maintain good relations with elder siblings
- Respect older friends and associates
- Feed ants with wheat flour and jaggery
- Donate to charitable institutions
- Help those who are less fortunate
Sun in 12th House
The 12th house represents dissolution, spiritual realms, isolation, and the subconscious. These are the domains where the Sun’s luminous quality faces its greatest challenges and opportunities for transcendence.
Psychologically, this placement creates a person whose identity and ego undergo continuous dissolution and refinement. The verse mentions “foreign mein rahe” (living abroad), which has both literal and metaphorical significance. The native often feels like a foreigner in the material world, more at home in spiritual or imaginative realms.
The challenges with sleep and eyesight mentioned speak to deeper issues of perception and consciousness. The native may experience difficulty distinguishing between waking reality and dream states or between personal identity and universal consciousness.
The verse’s statement that “shanti kahin na paye” (peace is nowhere to be found) refers to the restlessness that comes from having one foot in the material world and one in transcendent realms. However, this placement ultimately offers spiritual potential if the native acknowledges the journey of ego surrender.
On the deepest level, this placement represents the soul’s work at dissolving individual consciousness (Sun) back into the universal field (12th house). The struggles mentioned in the verse are part of this alchemical process of transformation, where personal identity must be partially surrendered to access higher consciousness.
This explains why many with this placement find purpose in service to the suffering, spiritual practices, or creative works that bridge visible and invisible realms. They become channels between worlds, using their solar light in service of illuminating hidden dimensions of existence.
Lal Kitab Remedy For Sun in 12th House
- Feed jaggery and wheat flour to ants
- Offer water to the rising Sun
- Donate copper utensils to a temple
- Serve the elderly and respect your father
- Float seven copper coins in flowing water on seven consecutive Sundays
