Surya (Sun)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Surya (the Sun) is the atmakaraka, signifying the self, vitality and legitimate authority. It rules Simha, is exalted in Mesha at 10° and debilitated in Tula at 10°. Its Vimshottari mahadasha runs six years. In a chart, Surya shows where a person needs to be seen as themselves rather than as a role.
Karaka: Atmakaraka — the self, vitality, and authority. Nature: Malefic. Mahadasha: 6 years.
