He possesses the power of absorption of the nature and influence of any planet within an orb of 8 ½ degrees of his conjunction. Being the centre of all life force and energy and being the giver of the life (Prana), Sun is worshipped as God (Bhagwan Surya Narayan). He 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. Western people call him as Apollo. The Sun takes exactly one year to go round the ecliptic. It has only the direct motion and never goes in retrograding motion. According to Hindu Astrology Sun is the soul (Atma) of the Kalpurusha.

Sun and Moon are also considered luminaries. Sun rules the direction East and “Grishma” Rithu (Summer season). In the birth chart Sun represents the father of the native. According to some scholars in the woman’s chart Sun indicates her husband although there is another school of thought who believe that Jupiter represents the husband in a female’s chart.

Men ruled by the Sun aspire to positions of ruler ship and by their earnest nature inspire others with a respect for their abilities. So they usually attain positions of trust, responsibility and honour where they are perfectly at home and capable of practical execution to a very satisfactory degree.

If the Sun at birth is unfavorably placed and is otherwise undignified, the native is inclined to be too forceful, lordly, domineering, positively arrogant and extravagant, inclining also to sickness of a feverish inflammatory native, eye affliction and heart disorders as well as loss of position, credit or esteem due to impulsiveness of these natives.
