The auspicious (strong) Sun gives the native energy, confidence, leadership ability, good health, fatherly happiness and prestige in the society — such people are self-respecting and principled. Weak or afflicted Sun gives ego, differences with father, eye-heart problems, lack of self-confidence and confrontation with the authorities. The Sun in Leo and exalted in Aries is considered to be particularly strong.
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.
