Since Sun changes sign every month these rules should be applied each time when Sun enters a new zodiac. These are the standard rules of reading a transit but here I will mention some more steps which are applicable to planet Sun transit only.

1. The House Of Its Transit- The first and foremost impact comes from house from where planet Sun is making transit. Sun gives good results when it transit through the 3rd, 6th, 10th and the 11th house. Whereas in houses as such 8th and the 12th, it gives very negative results. so it is important to see which house Sun making the transit and its impact should be judged effectively.

2. Lordship Of Planet Sun- Planets gives results based on the their lordship in a Horoscope and similarly Sun also have lordship over a certain house which makes it a benefic, malefic or a neutral planet. It can happen that Sun is transiting through the 11rd house and once can expect good results from it. But if Sun is lord of the 6th house then the good results of its transit through the 11th house will not manifest.

Whereas in the next zodiac sign which is of Taurus, planet Sun is not comfortable in it. Which means within a span of 30 days you will experience different results from the transit of Sun. Now how Sun will bring results in a particular zodiac sign will matter on the following factors.

• If the zodiac sign where Sun is transiting through falls in the 8th and the 12th house then the results will be negative.
• If the ashtakvarga score of planet Sun is more than 4 in the sign of its transit then the results will be good.
• If Sun is making a transit over the malefic planets like Saturn, Mars,Rahu and Ketu then there will be results of negative nature.

4.Running Dasha- The results of any transit depends on the dasha native is in.On its own a transit of sun can mean anything. It is important to see what promises a dasha is showing and accordingly the transit will work in the direction to fulfill that promises. Every event triggered by Sun transit will be in line with the dasha of the native.

5.Other Planetary Transits: In vedic astrology all planets works in unison and the biggest example of it is double transit of Saturn and Jupiter. similarly all transit are interconnected with each other.
