In order to analyze the effects of Sun transit following steps should be followed:
1. Lordship Of Planet Sun: It is very important to check which house planet Sun rules in the Horoscope and that will decide if planet Sun is a benefic or malefic for the native.
This step determines the core intent of planet Sun transit.
Which means, during its transit, planet Sun will create effects as per the lordship mainly.
For example planet Sun is benefic for Aries ascendant and its transit brings auspicious effects.
Whereas for Pisces ascendant planet Sun is a malefic planet and its transit brings negative effects.
2. Planet Sun Natural Effects In Various Signs: Planet Sun acts differently in different zodiac signs, for example planet Sun is exalted in sign of Aries and becomes debilitated in sign of Libra.
Now during its transit, planet Sun natural effects in different zodiac signs should be taken into account because how well planet Sun acts in a zodiac sign matters a lot.
Generally, planet Sun acts good in fire & earth signs whereas it acts very weak in water & air signs.
3. Planet Sun Natural Effects In Various Houses: Planet Sun during its transit will occupy a house in a Horoscope and this factor plays a important role in results of Sun transit.
For example, planet Sun transit is more potent in upper half of the Horoscope where it becomes Digbali. In lower houses i.e. 6th,7th,8th and 9th house.
The transit of Sun doesn't work that good.
3. Transit Of Other Planets Each Year: In astrology, no transit work alone; you have to look things holistically.
Planet Venus & Mercury always stay near the planet Sun, and there are high chances of them making a planetary relationship with the planet Sun.
Apart from them, other planetary transits are equally important. Each year, planets make transits, which influence each other to give results. Yearly transit forecast, is must to check, and only then should any prediction should be made.
4. Ashtakvarga Score: It is important to bring Ashtakvarga angle here. No planetary transit is complete without this.
Here, you need to see how many bindus planets the Sun is getting in the Zodiac sign it is transiting from.
If more than 4 bindus, then the transit of the sun will give good effects. Otherwise, the effects of Sun transit will be bad.
Also, you need to check how many bindus are in the house where Sun is transiting through.
If the total Samduya Ashtakvarga bindus is 28 or more, then surely Sun transit will be powerful and will give good results.
Having understood the rules mentioned above now its time to see the effects of Sun transit through all houses.
Results Of Sun Transit Through Houses
Transit of the planet Sun holds high importance in Vedic astrology.
It stays in each sign for about a month and when it moves through different houses in the Horoscope, it activates specific areas of life.
Sun represents ego, authority, recognition, government, father, immunity, and life force.
So wherever it goes, it demands attention and tries to dominate that space.
If the house is weak or if Sun is a malefic for the chart, then results can be damaging.
If the Sun is well-placed and supported by Dasha, it can give major growth, respect, and visibility.
Results of Sun transit will vary based on the rising ascendant sign and whether the Sun is functionally benefic or malefic in the natal chart.
For example, for Aries ascendant Sun rules the 5th house and gives good results, but for Libra ascendant it rules the 11th and can still give ego issues due to sign enmity.
The strength of Sun in the birth chart also matters.
A debilitated Sun or a Sun afflicted by Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu will give more negative outcomes during its transit, especially in houses like 6th, 8th, or 12th.
If Sun is conjunct with malefics like Rahu or Saturn, the transit can trigger issues with father, government, or authority figures.
There can be loss of position or sudden ego clashes in public.
If Sun is supported by Jupiter, the results improve.
Native gets appreciation, clarity, and confidence to make good decisions. Same time, immunity and health improve.
If Sun is running in Mahadasha or Antardasha, then the effects of its transit will be more visible.
There can be strong gains or equally strong losses depending on the house it is transiting and aspects involved.
In the sections ahead, the effects of Sun transit through each of the 12 houses have been covered with focus on career, health, finances, and relationships.
These are general predictions but will give a clear idea on what to expect and how to handle it.
Sun Transit in the 1st House
When Sun transits the 1st house, the focus shifts entirely on the self.
This is the time when you start thinking more about your identity, your image, and how others are perceiving you.
The energy becomes more assertive and there’s a natural tendency to dominate conversations, take charge, or push personal agendas.
The 1st house represents body, personality, confidence, and overall health.
So this transit brings a sharp rise in ego, self-awareness, and personal ambition.
Native will try to get attention or recognition from people around.
If the Sun is strong in the natal chart, this period can bring leadership roles, praise from seniors, and good visibility.
But if the Sun is weak or under malefic influence, then it can trigger arrogance, friction with others, or identity crisis.
Physically, native may feel heat in the body, sleep disturbances, or issues related to eyes, heart, or head area.
The 1st house also represents vitality, so immunity can fluctuate depending on how the Sun is placed in the birth chart and which Dasha is running.
If Mercury is conjunct with Sun in 1st house, there will be strong communication and presentation skills, but native can become argumentative.
There will be tendency to over-explain and interrupt others, especially in meetings or debates.
If Rahu is conjunct with Sun, the results can become extreme.
Ego will spike and there can be public image problems or false confidence.
Native may behave in a way that creates distance with others.
At the same time, visibility in social media or public platforms can rise quickly.
If Saturn aspects the Sun, then results will tone down.
Native will be more serious, focused on long-term goals, and less showy.
But it can also bring conflicts with seniors, father, or government-related issues.
Relationships can take a hit during this transit if the native becomes too self-focused or dismissive of others' opinions.
This is especially true if Venus is combust in the 1st house or if the native is running a Dasha of Sun or Mars.
This transit is good for self-promotion, interviews, new initiatives, or any work where you need to present yourself boldly.
But it is not good for teamwork or situations where humility is required.
Sun Transit in the 2nd House
Transit of the Sun through the 2nd house is generally considered harmful.
This house represents wealth, speech, family, food intake, and values.
The intensity and heat of Sun tends to disturb these areas.
There can be issues in communication.
Native may use harsh words, speak without thinking, and create friction in personal or professional environments.
Arguments within the family can rise, especially with spouse or in-laws.
If the Horoscope has combinations of bad marriage, then this transit can trigger fresh disputes or revive old issues.
Health-wise, this transit can bring ulcers in the mouth, throat issues, or eye-related problems.
Those prone to blood pressure or sugar fluctuations need to be careful. Eating habits can worsen and result in inflammation or digestive trouble.
On financial front, there can be pressure.
Income may not match expectations, and if any malefic is already placed in the 2nd house, then losses or sudden expenditures are possible.
Native may act impulsively in financial matters, which can backfire.
If Rahu is placed in the 2nd house, this Sun transit can trigger major issues in speech and public image.
Native may say something offensive unknowingly and face consequences. There can be defamation or loss of trust.
If Venus is combust in the 2nd house, then both relationship and financial issues can become more visible.
Spending will rise, but peace and bonding will go down.
If Moon is conjunct or aspected by Sun, then there will be emotional instability.
Native may feel ignored by family or unsupported. This can affect mental peace and confidence.
During this transit, native should avoid confrontations, delay important conversations, and focus on saving rather than spending.
If the native is running the Dasha of the Sun, Venus, or the 7th house lord, then effects will be more visible.
Sun Transit in the 3rd House
Transit of the Sun through the 3rd house generally gives good results.
This is the house of courage, efforts, communication, and short travels.
Sun here boosts the native’s willpower and brings strong push to take action.
Native will become more determined and bold.
Delays and confusion will go away, and native will be ready to face challenges head-on.
This transit increases initiative and makes the native more aggressive in taking decisions, especially in work and career matters.
Success will come through efforts, and if native is already involved in media, politics, or government-related roles, recognition will rise.
Sun here also brings support from seniors and can create new opportunities to showcase skills.
If native has been facing delays or hesitation, this transit will clear the path.
But at the same time, issues with younger siblings can rise.
There can be misunderstandings or they may go through a tough period in their own life.
If Ketu or Saturn is placed in the 3rd house, then clashes or disconnection with siblings can increase.
If native is running the Dasha of the 3rd or 10th house lord, then this Sun transit can bring a job change or new project at workplace.
Chances of a short travel or official movement are also high.
If Venus is placed in the 3rd house, then this Sun transit may bring fame through artistic or public work.
But ego issues with team members may also rise.
Health-wise, this transit improves stamina and motivation.
If the Sun is well-placed in the natal chart, then immune strength increases.
Otherwise, there may be minor blood pressure or fatigue issues due to overwork.
Overall, this is a favorable transit that allows the native to rise through personal efforts, take bold steps, and gain appreciation for their work.
Sun transit in the 4th house
Transit of the Sun through the 4th house disturbs peace at home. Native may feel uneasy without a clear reason.
There can be sudden dissatisfaction with current living conditions, and a strong urge to move or change the house can arise.
This transit often causes unnecessary movement or relocation, and if Moon or Ketu is placed in the 4th house, then emotional instability increases further.
Native may have clashes with mother or discomfort due to her health.
Family environment becomes tense. If the 4th lord is weak or under affliction, then this transit triggers arguments, property disputes, or mental restlessness.
But career-wise, this transit can actually work in your favor.
Sun from the 4th house directly aspects the 10th house of career and status.
This brings visibility at the workplace, and seniors will start noticing the native’s efforts.
There can be new roles, project changes, or even a salary hike.
If the native is running the Dasha of the 10th or 11th lord, then the chances of promotion or job switch increase.
If Mars is placed in the 10th house, this transit can bring a powerful boost in career.
But if Saturn is sitting there, then ego clashes with boss or work pressure may rise.
Health-wise, the native should take care of heart, chest, and blood pressure-related issues.
If Sun is weak in the natal chart or is running under malefic influence, then sleep and mental clarity will be affected.
Overall, this transit may disturb home life, but if used correctly, it can lead to a strong push in career and professional image.
Sun transit in the 5th house
Transit of the Sun through the 5th house boosts career, recognition, and decision-making.
This is a strong placement for those working in government, administration, or leadership roles.
Native gains visibility and is able to take bold actions that bring results.
If the transit is happening in Aries or Leo, then results are much stronger.
These signs amplify the Sun’s authority and help the native rise in status.
Those who are in public-facing roles or creative industries can gain fame and respect during this period.
But at the same time, health issues related to digestion, acidity, or bile imbalance can arise.
The Sun’s heat can disturb the stomach region, especially if native is already prone to pitta-related conditions.
If Mercury is afflicted in the chart or placed in the 6th or 8th house, then chances of stomach-related discomfort increase.
With respect to children, this transit can cause some concerns.
First child may face health issues or get into arguments with the native.
If Ketu is placed in the 5th house or if Dasha of the 5th lord is running, then emotional detachment or stress related to children may occur.
If Sun is conjunct with malefic planets in the 5th house like Saturn or Rahu, then speculative losses or damage to reputation can also happen.
Caution is required in matters related to gambling, investments, or love affairs.
Overall, this transit supports professional progress but brings some friction in personal life and health.
Sun transit in the 6th house
Sun transit through the 6th house is generally considered good. It gives strength to fight enemies and overcome obstacles. Native becomes more confident, and there is a strong desire to win in every area of life.
This transit reduces the burden of debts and brings new job opportunities. Abroad-related chances also increase, especially for those in services or government sectors. Native gains energy and discipline, which helps them push through challenges and make steady progress.
If the Sun is transiting through Aries (for Scorpio ascendant) or Leo (for Pisces ascendant), the results will be the best.
Here the Sun gains strength and gives solid results in terms of career, health, and competitive situations.
But if the Sun is transiting Libra (for Taurus ascendant), the results are weak and damaging. Libra is the debilitation sign of the Sun, and here native may face loss of peace at home, health issues to the mother, and mental stress.
The native may feel like nothing is going in the right direction, especially if the Dasha of Moon or Venus is also running.
If Saturn is placed in the 12th or Mars is in the 4th house, then health problems or disputes related to property can also arise during this transit.
Still, for most ascendants, this transit is useful to bring correction, routine, and the ability to rise after setbacks. The 6th house always supports effort-based results, and the Sun helps create that push.
Sun transit in the 7th house
When the Sun transits through the 7th house, it causes troubles in relationships and overall well-being.
This house is directly opposite to the ascendant, and the fiery energy of the Sun disturbs balance in life.
Native becomes egoistic, overconfident, and impulsive. These traits start affecting marriage, partnerships, and even work life. There is a rise in anger and restlessness. Native may act without thinking, especially in personal decisions, and this can backfire badly.
Health also takes a hit, issues related to stomach, heart, or blood pressure can show up. If Dasha of malefic planets like Rahu or Mars is running, then the intensity of these problems will increase.
In most signs, this transit gives mixed to negative results. But there are two exceptions.
In the sign of Leo (for Capricorn ascendant), the Sun feels comfortable being in its own sign.
Here, native may face temporary tensions but eventually gain recognition and command in their social or professional life.
In the sign of Aries (for Libra ascendant), the Sun becomes exalted.
Here, native gets good money, powerful status, and material gains, especially in business or leadership roles.
Even strained relationships can see progress due to high confidence and dominance.
But if the 7th house lord is weak or afflicted, or if the native is running a sensitive Dasha like Moon or Venus, then extra care is needed in both health and relationship areas during this transit.
Sun transit in the 8th house
Transit of Sun through the 8th house is highly disturbing. This house naturally represents obstacles, sudden events, and longevity. The fiery and royal nature of the Sun doesn’t blend well here.
Health becomes a major concern. Especially when Sun transits through the sign of Libra (for Taurus ascendant), where it is debilitated, the native can face severe health deterioration.
Energy levels go down, and there can be issues related to blood, bones, or stomach. Native starts feeling directionless and confused. Things just don’t move, no matter how much effort is put in.
Mental restlessness is at its peak, and the native may go through a period of depression or emotional isolation. There is no clarity about future plans or goals, and delays become common in every area of life.
Losses from all directions are possible. Financial issues start building up, relationships face hidden tensions, and in-laws’ health or relations suffer.
Native finds it hard to communicate with the spouse, and bitterness may increase, especially if Venus or Moon is afflicted in the chart.
If this transit happens during Rahu or Saturn Dasha, the results can be very tough. Native may also experience fear or paranoia, especially if the 8th house has Mars, Ketu, or the Moon in natal chart.
Some relief is seen when the Sun transits through the sign of Leo (Pisces ascendant), where its dignity helps reduce the negative effects.
Even then, the focus should be on health maintenance, staying low profile, and not initiating anything new.
Sun transit in the 9th house
Sun transit in the 9th house gives both good and bad results, depending on the sign involved and the overall promise of the natal chart.
If the rising sign in the 9th house is Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, the transit becomes highly supportive. Native sees growth in career, receives support from seniors, and there is recognition of efforts.
Father’s support can increase, and native may become more focused on goals and direction in life. There is a natural rise in discipline and willpower.
But in other signs like Capricorn or Aquarius, the situation reverses.
Native can face friction with authority figures and may lose out on opportunities due to ego issues. Some natives may even get into trouble due to legal matters or compliance-related mistakes.
This transit also triggers the tendency to act impulsively. Native may take bold but careless decisions, which can lead to setbacks in career or education.
This is especially true if the 9th house lord is weak or combust in the birth chart.
If the Dasha of Sun, Ketu, or a weak Venus is running, then native should avoid making any changes related to job or investments during this transit.
Relations with the father can get strained unless Jupiter is well placed. Health of the father can also see a dip, especially if Moon or Mars is placed in the 9th house in the natal chart.
Overall, this transit needs balance. When handled with maturity, it can push native toward major breakthroughs. But if ego and rashness take over, it can backfire quickly.
Sun transit in the 10th house
Transit of the Sun through the 10th house gives the best results. This is the natural house of career and karma, and Sun feels powerful here.
Native gets recognition, promotion, and rise in status. If the sign rising here is Aries, Leo, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, the gains are even more prominent.
Opportunities from government or influential people can come. Native will find support from seniors and bosses.
There will be clarity of mind, better execution, and ability to lead. For those in politics, administration, or entrepreneurship, this transit acts like a booster.
If native is under the Dasha of the Sun, Jupiter, or a well-placed Mars, then the native can see powerful rise during this time.
New responsibilities will come, and native will be able to deliver well under pressure.
If the 10th house lord is weak or under affliction, then the Sun transit may bring some ego issues or problems with authority, but the damage won’t be long-lasting unless the native acts impulsively.
The health of the father improves during this transit. Native becomes more disciplined and gains direction in life. This is one of the best times to prove yourself at work and grab new positions.
Sun transit in the 11th house
The 11th house is an upachya house, and the transit of Sun here gives excellent results.
Native sees rise in wealth, better income flow, and strong network gains. It brings status and social visibility. This is the time when people start noticing the native’s work and achievements.
If the sign rising in the 11th house is Leo, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, or Pisces, then the results are even more powerful.
Native can attract support from seniors and government-related authorities. Important contacts are formed, and association with powerful people brings opportunities.
Sun here can also fulfill a long pending desire, especially related to career or family prosperity.
Native feels ambitious and is able to chase goals with clarity. Gains through father or father-like figure is also possible.
If native is under the Dasha of Sun, Jupiter, or the 11th lord, this period becomes even more fruitful. It is also a good time for starting a side business or monetizing skills and talents.
Only caution is to not let arrogance creep in. If native has malefic placements involving Sun or Rahu in the 11th, then ego clashes or misuse of power can bring minor setbacks.
But overall, this is among the best houses for Sun transit to deliver strong gains.
Sun Transit in the 12th House
Transit of the Sun through the 12th house is generally inauspicious. It weakens the physical and mental state of the native.
Health becomes unstable, and energy levels drop without reason. Sleep gets disturbed, and native starts feeling disconnected or anxious without clear causes.
Enemies become active and may overpower the native, especially in work settings. Native may feel isolated or unsupported during this time.
Financial outflows increase and hidden losses start piling up.
If Sun is weak or under affliction in the birth chart, then this transit can trigger hospital visits, legal matters, or unwanted expenses.
These effects hold true in most signs, but there are exceptions.
When the sign rising in the 12th house is Aries (for Taurus ascendant) or Leo (for Virgo ascendant), the Sun gains strength.
In these cases, the native can get opportunities to travel abroad or work on foreign assignments. Enemies get defeated, stamina returns, and the native may find renewed purpose.
If native is running the Dasha of a supportive planet like Jupiter or the 9th lord, then results improve further. A period of isolation can turn into a phase of clarity and planning.
Still, caution is required. Native should avoid ego-based actions and stay away from conflicts. Best results will come when this transit is used to rest, reflect, and plan for future moves.
