Debilitated Sun in Fifth House
When debilitated Sun is placed in the fifth house in a horoscope, Gemini rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Sun is benefic in the fifth 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 fifth 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 fifth house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Sun can bless the native with good results related to love life, children, creativity, spiritual growth, profession, finances, wealth, fame, father, reputation, authority, recognition and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
This placement of benefic Sun can bless the native with various types of creative abilities. Hence the native may achieve success as an actor, singer, writer, musician, dancer, sportsman, fashion designer, video game developer, web developer, architect, interior designer, painter, sculptor or some other creative professional, depending on his overall horoscope.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Sun is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Libra with benefic Mercury. Venus is placed in the third house in Leo, Saturn is placed in the second house in Cancer, benefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Gemini and Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Sagittarius. In this case, the native may engage in the field of writing. He may become a fiction writer and he may come across good amount of success, money, fame and recognition through his profession. The native may specialize in the genres of romance, drama and fantasy. He may write several novels/books falling under these genres and many of his books may be successful. The native may achieve more and more success after the age of 35 and then after 40, though he may start writing before 30.
If benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Gemini with Rahu, Jupiter is placed in the seventh house in Sagittarius with Ketu, and Mars is placed in the twelfth house in Taurus, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess very good talent as a writer and he may come across a lot of success, fame, money and recognition through his books. Many of his books may become best sellers and some of them may achieve a lot of success on international level also. Some books of the native may be translated to several languages, in order to be sold in various countries.

On the other hand, malefic debilitated Sun in the fifth house can trouble the native with problems related to love life, children, father, spiritual growth, creativity, profession, finances, reputation and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
Such malefic debilitated Sun can trouble the native with various types of problems related to children and such problems may aggravate if the native is female. She may witness delay, disturbances, medical complications, miscarriages, birth of abnormal children and/or other problems related to children. Taking an example, suppose a combination of debilitated Sun and Venus is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Libra. Debilitated Moon is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio with malefic Rahu, Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Taurus, Saturn is placed in the second house in Cancer and benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house in Pisces. In this case, the native may witness delay in the birth of her first child and she may deliver after the age of 35.
If malefic Mars is placed in the fifth house in Libra with Sun and Venus, and Mercury is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio with Moon and Rahu, the equation may become more troublesome. The native may witness more than one miscarriage before giving birth to an alive child. She may face medical complications and she may have her first child after 35 or 40. If the finer factors and running times are also negative, the native may not give birth to an alive child throughout her life, though she may witness more than two failed pregnancies and/or miscarriages.

Benefic exalted Mercury is placed in the fourth house in Virgo, malefic Mars is placed in the ninth house in Aquarius, malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house in Taurus and malefic Ketu is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio. In this case, the native may have serious problems with his father and he may not live with him, due to various reasons. If Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio with Ketu, and debilitated Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Capricorn, the equation may become worse. The native may lose his father to death, before his age of 15 or 10, depending on the finer factors and running times.
