In this piece, we will explore the significance of Sun, Moon, and Jupiter as father, mother, and children of a family and what makes a happy family unit, as per Vedic dictums.
According to the astrological principles, the Sun is known as the father. It is the center of the solar system and all other planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets are dependent upon the Sun for their existence. The Sun in astrology is a huge force. It not only indicates father, but also soul, ego, and vitality. The Moon represents the mother in astrology.
It indicates peace, nourishment, and comfort as well. Children are represented by Jupiter and as it is known Putrakaraka. These are the three main planets which represent a perfect family. So, we should deeply analyze these three planets to understand the quality of a family.

The Sun rules the sign of Leo, and it is the sign of forefathers. The Sun is a fiery planet, and it likes to be at the forefront of the chart. In a natural sign wheel, Aries rules the first house and the Sun is exalted in the sign of Aries.
When the Sun is in Aries, the person will learn a lot of good things from the father. The father will be a respectable person in the native’s life. This goodness will be added if there is a positive aspect from other planets. However, the Sun should be placed at the top in the chart as it doesn’t like to be in a hidden place.
The Sun is very strong when it is in 1st and 10th house. If your Sun is in these houses, then there are chances for the father to be a person with a lot of will power. Also he is a self-made man. He is a man of principles and this becomes guiding light for the native. So, the Sun will show the quality of the father figure in astrology.
Mother is always represented by the Moon in astrology. Moon is a very fluctuating planet, and it is watery energy. It owns the sign of Cancer, which is also a water sign. So, Moon in Cancer is the example of a very sensitive mother. Moon represents not only mother but also so many things connected with a family such as emotions, nourishment, material comforts, peace, and happiness as well. If the Moon is in a good sign, without any negative effect, then it shows a very sweet mother. However, every planet will have one challenge to overcome.
Children are represented by the most benefic planet as it indicates luck and fortune, and a well-placed Jupiter indicates happiness from children. Jupiter owns two signs: Sagittarius and Pisces. Among these Sagittarius is the favorite sign of Jupiter.
The Sun, when placed in the sign of Libra, despite the houses, creates many challenging situations for a person. In Libra, due to the debilitated Sun, the person naturally faces issues in getting proper care and attention from the father. The Sun likes to be in the forefront, and when it is pushed in the hidden houses such as 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 12th house, it brings difficulties in one’s relationship with father.

A well placed Sun in the horoscope is a divine blessing. Your self confidence, status of authority and how society looks up to you are the results of Sun's strength in your horoscope. more
Moon though a a friendly planet, however, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu do not share the good vibe with the Moon. Thus, when the Moon is with these planets, it shows challenges for mother. As the Moon gets debilitated in the Scorpio sign, , the person can feel a lack of nourishment due to various reasons. Especially when the Moon is in Kemdrum dosha, i.e., when it doesn’t have any planet in the 2nd and 12th house, then the person will feel lonely.

Your Moon is the most important planet in your horoscope since it acts as a conduit to everything happening around you and acts as a preceptor to all that you experience at a sub-conscious & emotional level. more
There are many couples who remain devoid of happiness due to disobedient or no children at all. When Jupiter gets debilitated, combust or retrograde in Capricorn, it indicates challenges from children.
Jupiter is the source of your well-being and luck as per Vedic Astrology. Nearly all things that are growth oriented and on the right side of life’s principles are synonymous with Jupiter. more
