Sun in Aries (Mesha)
When Sun (Surya), the karaka of soul, father, authority, vitality, government, ego, occupies Aries (Mesha), a fire sign ruled by mars, its energy takes on the pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Sun in Aries
Surya is the soul of the chart and the karaka of self, vitality and authority. A strong Sun gives confidence, leadership and steady health.
This is the sign of exaltation for Sun, one of the strongest placements possible, lifting its results to their highest expression.
Because Aries is a movable fire sign, it shapes Sun toward being pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic. The matters Sun governs, soul, father, authority, vitality, government, ego, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
