Sun is one of the most important planets in Vedic Astrology. It symbolizes our ego, sense of self and confidence. When placed in the 1st house for the Aries ascendant, Sun attains an exalted state, which only enhances its power and impact on the individual's life. In this placement, Sun is lord of the 5th house and has an important influence on it; it also rules over the 10th house and acts as a natural Karaka for both these houses.
