In Vedic astrology, the Sun (Surya) is not just a planet — it is the soul of the horoscope. It represents vitality, authority, confidence, willpower, government, father, status, and self-respect. When the Sun is strong, a person shines naturally in life. But when the Sun becomes weak, many life problems silently start appearing.
A weak Sun does not ruin life, but it creates internal insecurity and external struggles related to self-worth, leadership, and recognition.
What Makes the Sun Weak in a Birth Chart?
The Sun becomes weak due to:
Debilitation in Libra
Placement in 6th, 8th, or 12th house
Conjunction with malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu or Ketu
Severe affliction by enemy planets
Combust or overly eclipsed condition
Weak placement in divisional charts
Low dignity, weak aspects, or being heavily targeted by malefics
A weak Sun indicates reduced soul strength and authority in life.

When the Sun is weak, your identity suffers internally before problems appear externally.
