When the Sun is placed in the First House (Lagna Bhav) of a birth chart, it creates a powerful and dynamic personality. The First House represents self, appearance, nature, health, and the overall direction of life. The Sun, being the planet of soul, authority, and confidence, gives the native a strong willpower, leadership qualities, and a natural desire to stand out.
This placement often makes a person ambitious, courageous, and self-reliant. Such natives like to take charge and lead others rather than follow. The Sun here gives a strong sense of self-identity and a desire to leave a mark on the world.
Personality and Nature
People born with the Sun in the First House have a magnetic and royal personality. They usually have a radiant aura and attract attention wherever they go. Confidence is their greatest strength. They are conscious of their image and may want to be respected by others.
At times, this placement can also make the native egoistic or dominant, especially if the Sun is afflicted by malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu. However, when well-placed (especially in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius), it gives great fame, success, and recognition in life.

Career and Professional Life
With Sun in the First House, careers related to leadership, government, politics, administration, defense, and entrepreneurship suit best. These natives want to be in control and command rather than serve under others. They can also excel in roles where visibility and authority matter — like management, media, public speaking, or creative arts.
Health
The Sun governs vitality, bones, eyes, and the heart. Generally, these natives have good stamina and energy, but if the Sun is weak or afflicted, it may cause headaches, high blood pressure, or heart-related problems. Maintaining humility and balanced ego helps their physical and emotional well-being.
Relationships and Social Life
They often appear confident and attractive to others, but sometimes their dominating attitude may cause friction in close relationships. They should learn to listen and share power to maintain harmony, especially in marriage or partnerships.
Spiritual Significance
Spiritually, the Sun in the First House helps one recognize their true self (Atman) and purpose in life. It promotes self-awareness and the desire to live with dignity and truth. When positively directed, this energy helps the native become a guide or leader for others.
Remedies for Afflicted Sun
If the Sun is weak or under malefic influence:
-
Offer water (Arghya) to the rising Sun every morning.
-
Wear ruby gemstone (after proper consultation).
-
Chant Surya Beej Mantra – “Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah”.
-
Respect father, government, and elders.
-
Keep Sunday as a day of self-discipline and gratitude.
Conclusion
The Sun in the First House blesses the native with strong will, confidence, and leadership abilities. These people are born to shine — but must balance their ego with humility. When they learn to use their power for the welfare of others, they achieve true success, fame, and inner peace.
