He is regarded as a krura graha (cruel planet) and prominently affects the house of his location in the horoscope. The classical texts have not spoken favorably about the Sun in the 7th house which rules marriage.

Solar Moods

These astrological conclusions become clear upofi delving a little into the nature of the Sun. The early morning Sun is quite nourishing and invigorating. He enlivens the entire world. The Sun in the Ascendant (at sunrise) confers good health, wisdom, ambition, positive thinking and cheerfulness. He reaches the zenith at noon (in the 10th house), while the setting Sun (in the 7th house) becomes dull and lifeless. An individual with the Sun in the 7th house lacks energy, drive and position. He becomes self- centred, conceited, selfish and an introvert which creates problems with the spouse and associates. If the Sun is aspected by malefics in the 7th house, the native may not be interested in the opposite sex. A female with such a Sun becomes conceited, selfish, suspicious of the husband, quarrelsome over trifling matters and thereby ruins her married life.
