The Sun (Surya) is the soul of the horoscope in Vedic astrology, representing authority, confidence, ego, vitality, and fatherly figures. When the Sun is debilitated, it becomes weak and struggles to express its natural qualities. The Sun is debilitated in the sign of Libra (Tula Rashi), which affects various aspects of life depending on its house placement, conjunctions, and aspects.
General Effects of Debilitated Sun
Lack of Confidence and Self-Esteem: The native may feel low in confidence, lack self-worth, and struggle to express themselves in public.
Weak Authority and Leadership Qualities: A debilitated Sun can make the native hesitant in taking leadership roles or authoritative positions.
Strained Relationship with Father: The father’s health, longevity, or relationship with the native might be affected.
Health Problems: The Sun represents vitality and immunity. Its debilitation can cause health issues related to the heart, bones, and eyesight.
