Sun in Cancer: Results, Dignity & Remedies
Sun in Cancer — dignity
The lord of Cancer is Moon, a natural friend of Sun — in a friendly sign Sun sits at ease and gives generously.
Element blend and effect on temperament
Cancer is a movable water-element sign, while Sun carries the fire element — this dialogue of elements gives the temperament its own distinct shade: the sign's atmosphere moulds the planet's significations.
Here Sun expresses Spirit, Father, King/Government, Health, Reputation, Leadership in the colours of Cancer — Cancer is the variable sign of the water element — the Moon makes its natives emotional, sensitive, nurturing, and rich in memory. Family and home are…
When and how results arrive
Which house this sign occupies is the biggest decider: the same Sun in Cancer speaks about personality in the 1st house, about career in the 10th. Results peak in the Mahadasha–Antardasha of Sun and at transit contacts.
Its position in the Navamsa (D9) is the second test — with strength there, even an ordinary-looking placement delivers extraordinary results.
General remedies for Sun
To strengthen the sun, water arghya (with a copper pot) at sunrise, recitation of 'Om Suryaya Namah' or Aditya-Hridaya-Stotra, Sunday fast and respect for father and gurus are the best remedies. The gemstone ruby is worn in gold, in the ring finger, on Sunday morning — only after the horoscope test. Donation of jaggery and wheat and Surya Namaskar are also beneficial. Gemstones only after proper chart consultation.
