Debilitated Sun in First House
When debilitated Sun is placed in the first house in a horoscope, Libra rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Sun is benefic in the first house in most cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Sun is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Sun may become more malefic.
Since Sun is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Sun. If debilitated Sun is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the first house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Sun can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Sun in the first house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Sun can bless the native with good results related to health, lifespan, profession, finances, fame, reputation, authority, recognition, friends and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
Such benefic debilitated Sun can render creative abilities to the native. Hence the native may engage in a creative field and he may achieve success as an actor, singer, dancer, musician, writer, painter, designer or some other type of creative professional, depending on his overall horoscope.
Taking an example for a female native, suppose benefic debilitated Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Libra. A benefic combination of Venus and Moon is placed in the third house in Sagittarius, benefic Saturn is placed in the ninth house in Gemini, Mercury is placed in the second house in Scorpio and debilitated Jupiter is placed in the fourth house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may engage in the field of acting. She may work in mainstream movies and she may witness good amount of success, money, fame and recognition as an actor. The native may start acting from early age and she may witness very good results after the age of 25 and 30 respectively.
If benefic Rahu is placed in the third house in Sagittarius with Venus and Moon, Ketu is placed in the ninth house in Gemini with Saturn, and benefic Mars is placed in the seventh house in Aries, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may be very beautiful as well as charming. She may win several beauty pageants and after that, she may engage in the field of acting. She may witness very good amount of success, money, fame and recognition as an actor. The native may also work in some movies made in foreign countries as well as in foreign languages. She may become very popular among people, especially as an icon of beauty. The native may fall in love with a fellow actor, she may get married to him and she may enjoy a good marriage, with occasional upsets.
Such benefic debilitated Sun can also bless the native with a post of authority in government through job or through politics, depending on his overall horoscope. Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Libra along with Mercury. Jupiter is placed in the second house in Scorpio, benefic Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Cancer with benefic debilitated Mars, and benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may achieve authority through politics. He may engage in active politics after the age of 30 or 35 and he may come across good amount of success, fame, recognition and authority. The native may win more than one public election during his lifetime and he may become a minister in the state government or a member of parliament of his country.
If benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the second house in Scorpio with Jupiter, benefic exalted Rahu is placed in the eighth house in Taurus and benefic Venus is placed in the first house in Libra with Sun and Mercury, the equation may improve. In this case, the native may witness wonderful results through politics. He may come across very good amount of success, fame, recognition and authority as a politician. The native may win several public elections and he may become a minister in the national government, more than once in life. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may also become the prime minister or president of his country. Native’s wife may also be a politician and she may support him a lot, in advancement of his political career.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Sun in the first house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Sun in the first house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, profession, finances, reputation, immunity, confidence, father and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
Since Sun is weak due to debilitation, it is vulnerable to afflictions. Hence even a single strong malefic planet can afflict it and turn it into a significantly malefic planet. Since Sun represents father in general and profession/finances in specific as it rules the eleventh house in this case, the native may face serious problems related to these spheres. Looking at profession, such malefic debilitated Sun can trouble the native with setbacks, failures, financial losses, job-loss, bad reputation, discontinuation of profession, litigations and several other problems through profession.
Taking an example, suppose debilitated Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Libra with malefic Jupiter. Debilitated Venus is placed in the twelfth house in Virgo, Mercury is placed in the second house in Scorpio, Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Pisces with Mars, and Moon is placed in the seventh house in Aries. In this case, the native may not find a permanent profession till the age of 35 or 40 and he may only find temporary jobs. He may also have to remain jobless for periods of more than 6 months, many times in his life.
If malefic Ketu is placed in the first house in Libra with Sun and Jupiter, and malefic Rahu is placed in the seventh house in Aries with Moon, the equation may become worse. The native may not find permanent profession through his life and he may also witness discontinuation of profession after the age of 45. The native may also suffer from problems related to his father and he may lose him before the age of 20 or 15, depending on the finer factors and running times.
Apart from these malefic debilitated Sun in the first house can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
