Sun is considered to be the King of planets in astrology. According to astrology, Sun rules the soul and fatherhood. Sun provides light to all other planets. In fact, Sun is not a planet since it is illuminated by its own light and hence it is a Star. However in Astrology, Sun is regarded as a Planet. In Hindu mythology, we call it Lord Vishnu who is the lord of the Universe. The Sun, the giver of life, represents our conscious mind in Astrology. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Sun represents Power and Authority and hence it is related to all the Government Authorities, posts of power, people who are on the high posts of power like President, Prime Minister, Members of Parliament and those people who are posted as Presidents / Chairmen of Government Institutes. Sun is a lord that has hair and arms of gold, and seven horses or one horse with seven heads is the ride of lord Sun. The Sun also speaks to creative ability and the power of the individual to meet the challenges of everyday life. One's natural father, husbands and other male influences are ruled by the Sun, as are children.
