Sūrya

Sūrya is the Sun, the graha of light, vitality and the self.

What the word means

Sūrya means the Sun, the bright one.

How it is calculated

The Sun moves about one degree a day and spends about a month in each sign.

History

Honoured across the Vedic hymns. Sunday (Ravivāra) carries its name.

Energy

Warm, steady, clarifying. This energy belongs to every body and every gender.

Physical description

A star: the one source of light for every other graha.

Interpretation

Read for vitality, confidence, visibility and the way a person holds authority over their own life.

Vedaz's interpretation

Sūrya stands for the soul, authority and self-esteem. Through its nakṣatra and pada, Vedaz reads it as soul purpose.

This is a symbolic pattern, not a prediction. Nothing in a chart removes your agency. Vedaz content is reflective and is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
