• As 7th lord in the 7th: In its own house the 7th lord strengthens marriage and partnership, giving a capable spouse and success in public dealings and business.

Sun and the lagna lord

The Sun is a natural enemy of the lagna lord Saturn, and from the 7th it occupies an angle, which gives it visibility. Its results may come in a form the person did not choose.

Aspects from the 7th house

Its aspects reach:

• the 1st house by its 7th aspect: it puts pride and visibility into self and body; that house is Aquarius, ruled by Saturn, so independence is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Leo in parts

Leo spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one the Sun occupies adds its lord's agenda for Aquarius rising:

• 0°–13°20′ Leo: Magha, ruled by Ketu, which adds detachment and intuition; its gift is dignity and lineage, its shadow entitlement.

• 13°20′–26°40′ Leo: Purva Phalguni, a Venus nakshatra, linking the placement with the 4th and 9th (home, mother and property; fortune, faith and teachers); in love it is warm, flirtatious and pleasure-loving, and wants romance to stay alive.

• 26°40′–30° Leo: Uttara Phalguni, ruled by the Sun itself, so the effect is undiluted; for work it points to administration, contracts, marriage services, social work and government.

Love and marriage

In the 7th the Sun brings a partner with a strong personality, sometimes from an established family or in authority; respect and equal say, rather than a contest of wills, make the marriage thrive. By temperament the Sun brings pride and loyalty into love: the person wants a partner they can respect and who respects them, and ego clashes are the main risk. Because it rules the 7th, marriage in this chart is lived out through marriage and partnership, and the partner often shows something of Leo: warmth, pride and a desire to be seen. Since the Sun is itself the 7th lord for Aquarius rising, this placement is the main marriage indicator in the chart, together with Venus.

Career and money

The Sun in the 7th favours partnerships with influential people and public-facing business; contracts with officials can help. Beyond this house, the Sun broadly suits leadership roles, public service, administration and work that carries visible responsibility. Leo is fire: leadership, initiative and visibility suit it. Financially, money tends to follow authority and position.

Family and home

Domestically, the father's authority and a sense of duty shape family life. Home and mother are better read from Venus, lord of the 4th (Taurus).

When it gives results: the Sun dasha

The Sun period (6 years in Vimshottari) brings the 7th into focus. Expect it to feel dependent on its associations. Results are said to mature after about age 22.

Putting it together

The clearest window is the Sun dasha.
