Sun in Scorpio (Vrishchika)
When Sun (Surya), the karaka of soul, father, authority, vitality, government, ego, occupies Scorpio (Vrishchika), a water sign ruled by mars, its energy takes on the intense, secretive, determined, transformative qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Sun in Scorpio
Surya is the soul of the chart and the karaka of self, vitality and authority. A strong Sun gives confidence, leadership and steady health.
Sun expresses here through the lens of Mars, the lord of Scorpio, blending the two energies.
Because Scorpio is a fixed water sign, it shapes Sun toward being intense, secretive, determined, transformative. The matters Sun governs, soul, father, authority, vitality, government, ego, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
