SUN (Surya)
The Sun is the sovereign
planet of the zodiac, furnishing the light and heat upon
which all life depends. The Sun's position in a person's
horoscope determines his or her external appearance and
public persona and provides the energy for one's
personal power and influence over others. The Sun
governs the fields of philosophy, government service,
churches and temples, the medical profession, gold trade
and public fame. Solar energy is associated with the
fire element, the color red, fatherhood and masculinity,
royalty and political power.
If the Sun is exalted
one will be well-read, pious, strong, compassionate and
untroubled. But if the position of the Sun in one's
horoscope is weak or afflicted then contrary results may
be expected. RED is the cosmic color transmitted by
rubies and other natural red gems. Red color waves are
hot and therefore useful in curing diseases caused by
excessive cold and moisture in the body, viz. cold, flu,
anemia, low blood pressure, heart and circulatory
problems, as well as foolish behavior and learning
deficiencies. In addition, Solar gemstones confer
courage, eliminate sadness, moderate excess sensuality,
and help elevate one's status in society.
GEMSTONES ruled by the
Sun are natural ruby, red spinel, red garnet, rubellite
and other natural pink or red gems with crystal clear
transparency. In order to properly transmit solar
energy, Sun stones must be flawless (eye-clean) and
should be set in gold.
NOTE: As the Sun is
incompatible with Saturn, Venus, Rahu and Ketu, Sun gems
such as ruby should not be used with blue sapphire,
diamond, hessonite or cat's eye. Specifically designed
talismans like the Navaratna (Nine Gems setting) are an
exception to this principle.
The particular hue or
type of red color recommended for each
social-religious-economic station of society are listed
as follows:
1) Religious
practitioners, scientists and educators should use pink
red (most women are also advised to use pink);
2) Soldiers,
administrators and bureaucrats should use blood red;
3) Farmers, bankers and
traders should use orange red;
4) Servants, laborers
and workers should use violet red.
