Impact Of Sun Transit on You

The first thing to take into account while addressing the transit of Sun is the nature, dignity or placement of the Natal Sun in an individual horoscope. A benefic planet with good dignity in the birth chart will produce positive outcomes, but a malefic planet with bad dignity in the birth chart will produce negative results.

The strong placement of the Sun in the first, fourth, sixth, and tenth houses from the Ascendant and the third, sixth, and tenth houses from the Moon sign during transit will result in auspicious results.

It is indicative of strong goal orientation, intense desire for obtaining desired results in life, good professional and vocational aptitude, dignity and protective instinct in personal relationships.

During its transit, the Sun's weak or malefic placement, particularly in the 8th or 12th houses, can cause anxieties about your health, ego and disputes in personal and professional life with the drive to govern and dominate others, which comes from an egoistic impulse.

 

Dignity or Placement of Sun in Sign/House during Transit

The dignity or placement of the Sun during its transit in the house/sign is critical because it activates and highlights the events associated with that sign and house.

• If the Sun is transiting through its own/exalted/friendly sign/house at the time of birth and is well situated in harmony with other planets, then it gives you amazing organizational skills, resolve and decisiveness, which makes success easier throughout the Sun's transit.
• On the other hand, if the Sun is transiting through the enemy/debilitated sign/house and is in a difficult relationship with other planets, you will be prone to egoistic arrogance and argumentative nature, which will create situations in relationship that will necessitate extra efforts and attention to make them work.

 

Example: In Aries, the Sun is in its exalted sign and controls the 5th house, which might reward you with appropriate instincts for success. But for Virgo, the Sun rules the 12th house, which will require efforts for positive results, depending on your birth chart.

Transit or Aspect of Sun over Other Planets

The Sun's relationship with other planets is a crucial factor in producing progressive, average or malefic outcomes during the transit.

• The transit or aspect of the Sun over friendly planets such as the Moon, Mars and Jupiter, if well positioned in any horoscope, will provide you with favorable results owing to an increase in inclination for work and great courage to attain goals.
• The transit of the Sun over a neutral planet such as Mercury is expected to have modest to average results.
• The transit of Sun over the enemy planets Venus and Saturn might cause you tension and less progressive outcomes in events as a result of lack of enthusiasm and efforts on all fronts.
• Transit of the Sun with Rahu/Ketu in the same sign might cause the Sun to eclipse. This denotes difficulties in your job, health or relationship with your father.

 

The Sun's conjunction with other planets can produce auspicious/inauspicious consequences that can be extremely beneficial/less progressive with a frequent screening of one of them at regular intervals, depending on the Sun's quick transit pace.

• The Sun-Mercury [intelligence] conjunction in the same house bestows you with intellect and knowledge, as well as a high level of comprehension and learning capacity, and elegance of speech, which may lead to success in many areas of your life.
• Sun-Mars [courage], the combination of two flaming planets, brings the power of endurance and the impetus of swift action with energy, which can lead to success in the medical profession.
• The Sun-Jupiter [spiritual] conjunction is a progressive conjunction that makes you sincere, affluent and committed to responsibilities, with a balanced mental equilibrium, good reputation and fortune.
• Sun-Venus [relationships] might cause you to be highly courteous, sophisticated, lucky, popular, and loving in your relationship and behavior.
• The Sun-Saturn conjunction offers power to Saturn, which may make you wealthy but may also result in a lack of direction in sustaining personal ties.
• Sun’s conjunction with Rahu (dragon's head) or Ketu (dragon's tail) in the same house in your horoscope can create Sun eclipse, which can negatively impact your life with hurdles and egoistic behavior toward others in unprogressive relationships.

The transit of the Sun in your horoscope is impacted by a variety of elements, including the dignity of the Sun and the kind of relationship it has with other planets. Based on the aspect, house/sign, location and position of the Sun, combustion, close proximity and conjunctions with any planet that might affect your life during that era, you are likely to encounter benefic and malefic consequences.

Traditional astrology observes planet transits from the Ascendant when observing transit effects connected to the Sun. The other premise of transit observation is the positioning of the Moon in the birth chart, which is used as the Ascendant to assess the impacts of the Sun's transit.
