Sun in the 1st House in Vedic Astrology


  • Personality

The first house represents the self, the personality that others see at first glance. It is the physical body and people's first impression. Consequently, the person with Sun in the first house has a substantial effect on others. He emits a visibly radiant and warm personality. As planets revolve around the Sun, people are naturally drawn towards him and desire to be around him. The individual also expects no less than to be powerfully attractive and the center of attention, and this he gets effortlessly with his potent and mighty presence.
  • Leadership

The Sun in the first house person is also a naturally-born leader. People sense his regal self-confidence, and automatically look up to him for decision-making. They regard him as reliable and good at making executive decisions.
  • Passion

Once he makes up his mind to do something, there are no obstacles to get in his way. His sunny, hot and fiery nature makes him intrinsically passionate, high-spirited, assertive, and frenzied. There is nothing to stop him. He is, after all, power and brilliance. Darkness and hopelessness do not exist for him.
  • Shadow-Side

Ironically, there is a shadow-side to everything, and as radiating as the Sun is in the first house, too much Sun in the hot desert can cause dryness, thirst, and sunburn. Since this individual is majestic and mighty, he expects to succeed in all endeavors. But when he does not get his way, watch out! That beautiful brilliance turns into temperamental and flammable combustion! That is when we see his volatile, impulsive, irritated and furious nature.
  • Generosity

But do not let his explosive nature fool you. Beneath all this assertive and authoritarian ego lies the most magnanimous, bountiful and generous nature. After all, the Sun shines on all without any judgment or discrimination. A person with Sun in the first house is all-giving, noble and large-hearted.
  • The Sun in Different Planets' Signs

These qualities will be most evident when Sun is in the first house in Aries or Leo. In Libra, Sun is at his weakest. Therefore, Sun will be less assertive and tend to defer more to others as he will prefer harmony and balance. Since this is not the nature of the Sun, he will feel uncomfortable at times, trying to decide if he should defer or exert himself. In the signs of Mercury, Sun tends to show his high brilliance and intelligence. In the signs of Venus, Sun will tend to be charming, artistic, and creative. In the signs of Mars, the hot and fiery nature will show itself predominantly. In the signs of Saturn, the Sun will tend to be more withdrawn and constricted, not feeling at ease in such a restricted environment. Finally, in Jupiter's signs, the Sun will express his bounty, expansion, and compassion to a much higher degree.

Rahu/Venus Conjunction in Paula Abdul's Vedic Astrology Chart

Julie Paula Abdul Date and Time of Birth: June 19, 1962 14:32 (2:32 PM; PTD -7:00) Place of Birth: Los Angeles, CA Paula Abdul is a famous American singer. She is a prime example of a person having a Rahu-Venus combination. According to Barbara Pijan Lama, Rahu- Venus gives “amplified beauty, pleasure, and wealth – an exotic (and perhaps notorious) love life”; as well as “exotic appetites of the physical body (addictions, excessive pleasures)”. For one thing we know she has beauty and wealth, no questions asked. As for a notorious love life, this comes along with being famous. In Paula’s case, she unfortunately is not the exception and has had two failed marriages which did not make it past the two-year mark. What are the reasons for this? If we take a look at her chart things seem to be somewhat clear-cut. Her 7thlord of relationships Jupiter is in the 6th house of obstacles. Its despositor (lord of that house) Saturn is with the nodes of the moon, Ketu and Rahu...

Moon in Swati Nakshatra

Do you have Moon in Swati Nakshatra? Swati Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, or deified wind. Therefore, this Nakshatra's Shakti (power of expression) is to scatter like the wind. It expresses the desire for freedom and to move like the wind in all directions. It is a wanderer, a traveler, a seeker, and a messenger. If you have Moon in this Nakshatra, you do not like to be constrained in any one place or situation. You will try to run away if you feel like a situation or person is trying to tie you down. And you may not do this consciously. It is just that you are on a quest for freedom and fresh air. Vayu represents the divine breath of the gods. A strong Moon placed here will give you the ability to purify your mind and body through the power of breathing exercises effortlessly. You may have a natural talent for achieving deep meditative states through Pranayama.  Vayu also represents celestial music and you will show a desire or inclination towards music and artisti...

Malavya Yoga - Gianni Versace's Vedic Birth Chart

Gianni Versace December 2, 1946 Approx. 5:30 A.M. (tentatively rectified by Monica) Reggio Calabria, Italy   Gianni Versace was an extremely talented and sought-after Italian fashion designer.  He had many celebrity friends, including Madonna, Elton John, Princes of Wales, and Sting among many others.  He was openly gay with his partner Antonio D’Amico.  Unfortunately, he was shot to death in front of his Miami Beach mansion by Andrew Cunanan at the age of 50 (Wikipedia, 2013). These are only a few of the details that encompassed his life, and they don’t begin to describe his true talent and passion for beauty, art, fashion, and everything that is of a Venusian nature. Astrodatabank (www.astro.com) gives the time of his birth as 6:00 A.M. giving it a Rodden Rating of AA, which means extreme accuracy since it is based on the person’s birth certificate. However, the reason I’m writing this article is because I do not actually agree with t...
