**Planet Sun and it’s GOVERN :** Sun is the parent of the entire solar system. It
is also called the Father of the Stars . It is the Nearest star to the earth and
is about 93 million miles away from our Mother Earth. It is the largest among the
planets, belonging to the solar system. It is nearly 750 times larger than all the
planets put together. Its diameter is about 110 times that of the earth and is nearly
27,19,000 miles in circumference. Scientists say that it is not a solid mass, but
they are of the opinion that it is composed of gaseous matter in a series of layers
which send out cool and positive magnetic rays which meet one of the negative quality
on earth, and that thereby both heat and light are developed. These waves affect
likewise all other planets belonging to the solar system. The variationin the intensity
depends on many factors.The sun-spots are active for a period of 11 years and are
passive for the succeeding years. (Details about the sun-spots will be discussed
in later issues.)

### Mythology

Being the centre of all life, force and energy and the giver of Prana, Sun is worshipped
as Sun God. It is held in high esteem. At least thrice daily, Sun is prayed for 
by the Hindus. Every Sunday SURYA-NAMASKAR’ is done by many persons to regain the
lost vitality and eye-sight. Other nations also pay reverence to Sun It is said 
to represent the Creator, the Brahma, with his four faces to have a survey of all
the four directions causing four seasons and the four elements, namely Fire, Earth,
Air and Water. Sundays (otherwise called Sabbath, meaning wise teacher) are given
holidays probably to worship Him. Sunday is also put at the head of all the seven
days of the week.

Westerners call the Sun, Apollo. They consider that Sun is the son of Jupiter and
Latona. Apollo is the brother of Diana. He is adored by the Greeks. The swan and
the raven are said to be Apollo’s birds Hindus have conceived the Sun as ever moving
in a chariot drawn by seven horses. This is probably because in the Sun are contained
all the seven colours of the solar spectrum (VIBGYOR). They say that Sun goes round
the mount Meru daily. Whenever Sun enters into certain significant signs, the Hindus
perform some religious function on those days to satisfy the departed soul and also
offer prayers to Sun God. One such occasion is at the time when Sun crosses the 
fixed Nirayana Vernal Equinox and enters Aries so that the people in the North Pole
could see him after a continous night extending to six months. This is called Vishu
or Tamil New Year’s Day. The next occasion is on or around July 17 when Sun reaches
the mothers most declination (twenty three degrees twenty seven minutes from the
celestial equator) and begins its southern course. It is called Dakshinayana. The
next occasion when they perform the religious rites falls when Sun during its southern
course reaches the Autumnal Equinox which is the beginning of Libra or Thulam. Three
months later, when Sun reaches the southernmost declination in the south and just
when he commences the Northern course, all Hindus irres pective of caste or creed
uniformly celebrate this day It is called Sankranthi. Thus the Sun has come to occupy
an important place in the Hindu Pantheon. The greatest Astrologer Varahamihira worshipped
only Sun God and shed an imperishable lustre among the nine gems in the court of
King Vikramaditya.

The Sun takes exactly one year to go round the ecliptic. It has only the direct 
motion. Never does it retrograde. Also there is no latitude to Sun.

Sun stands to us as a symbol of spirit. Hindus consider that Sun is the soul of 
Kalapurusha. (The Moon is his mind; Budha or Mercury his speech; Kuja or Mars his
strength; Jupiter or Guru his know ledge and happiness, Venus or Shukra bis desire
or lust; Saturn is his misery, etc. It is said that the several constituents of 
Kalapurusha are either strong or weak according to the strength of the planets representing
them. Only Saturn is exempted. Whenever Saturn is weak, misery will be much greater
and will predominate. But if Saturn is strong there will be less of misery. All 
these effects are felt only in their respective periods.) For all living beings,
Sun represents the positive and primal fount whereas Moon represents the negative
influence. Sun is constructive and creative while Moon is preserving and formative.
Sun is the father and Moon is the mother. Therefore Sun is the symbol of spirit 
and Moon is that of matter, both acting as life and form. That is why the zodiac
which is divided into 12 signs are in their nature alternately positive and negative
or masculine and feminine.

The Sun and Moon are considered to be the sovereigns. Whereas Guru or Jupiter and
Shukra or Venus are the counsellors or ministers, Budha or Mercury is their heir
or the young prince, Kuja or Mars is the commander-in-chief and Saturn or Sani is
the slave or the servant. Sun is the king and Moon is the queen. Venus is considered
to be the wife of Jupiter and the adviser

Other names of Sun are: Adhithya, Arka, Aruna, Bhanu, Dhinakaran for Dhinakaran,
Heli, Pusha, Ravi, Surya and Thapana.

thenative will dealin red clothes or orange clothes as Moon and Mercury jointly 
indicate textiles; alternatively one may be employed with this combination in a 
government textile department since Sun represents government whereas Moon and Mercury
denote textiles. If Sun has any connection with Moon and Venus, the native may deal

If Mars and Mercury are connected with Sun in any manner, the native may be a military
engineer or he may deal in brick kilos or serve in Government Press as Mars and

combinations of planets will indicate the exact nature of their specialisation.

surgeons, as Mars indicates use of sharp instruments. Sun, Venus and Jupiter help
specialisation in Maternity, since Sun denotes medicine, Venus women and Jupiter

and Venus devoid of other planets’ influence occupying the sixth or the eighth house
show that he will be an optician. Sun and Saturn in the Ascendant or in the 8^(th)
house indicate that one will eam as a dentist.

In one’s chart the Ascendant shows the native and the 7th house indicates the patient
whom he treats. If the 2nd and the 12th houses are spoiled, one has eye defect or
disease. So the 2nd and the 12th houses from the 7th is the 8th and the 6th houses
counted from the Ascendant. Therefore the planets Sun and Venus in 6 and 8 in the
medical officer’s chart shows that he will attend on people suffering from eye diseases.

One suffers from tooth-ache only when the 2nd and the 7th houses are afflicted. 
Therefore the 2nd and the 7th houses counted from the 7th house representing the
patient are the 8th and the Ascendant of the doctor. Hence dentists will have Sun
and Saturn having connection with these two houses. Further, Saturn rules the osseous
system, bones, enamel, etc.

Sun and Mercury in the 9th or the 5th house indicate that the native will be an 
expert in Ear, Nose and Throat diseases as the houses three and eleven denote ear
and throat.

only with the Sun, the native will serve in the medical research department. Generally
Sun and Jupiter having connection with Virgo or Kanni, Scorpio or Vrischika shows
service in the Public Health department, whereas Mars shows that in the medical 
department.
