When weak
When the Sun is weak or afflicted, confidence can fluctuate — you may doubt your worth, look for approval, or swing between shyness and stubborn pride. Relations with your father or bosses may feel distant or strained, and recognition may arrive later than you deserve. Watch for low stamina, eye strain, acidity or irregular blood pressure. The remedy is to build self-respect from within: keep a sunrise routine, honour your father and elders, accept small leadership roles, and let steady effort rather than ego earn you the respect you seek.
When strong
A strong, well-placed Sun gives natural authority, self-respect and a clear sense of purpose. You radiate confidence, take responsibility willingly and people trust you with leadership. Relations with your father and seniors are supportive, and recognition from government or institutions comes more easily. Your stamina, eyesight and heart are usually robust. Your moral compass is firm — you prefer honesty to short cuts — and people remember your generosity and dignity long after you have left the room.
