Exaltation Series: Sun in Ashvini

An exalted planet means this planet has reached the higher point in its own sky. There, the planet feels free to unleash its power for better... Or worse. The sign where the planet is exalted allows the planet to flourish, as well as the nakshatra where the exaltation degree falls.

Sun's Exaltation in Ashvini

The Sun gets exalted in Aries 10° in Ashvini. (Ashvini: 0°00 Aries to 13°20 Aries). Here, the Sun's heat burns. It burns to the point that, according to tradition, the rays of Surya the Sun God were so strong that his wife Sanjna Consciousness, decided to escape, replacing herself by her clone, Chhaya the shadow. When Yama, their son, told him the truth, Surya asked for help to reduce his rays and once it was done, he came to see her. Then, they conceived the Ashvin Kumars, the twin horses, who rule Ashvini nakshatra. Surya Sun is their father: life, vitality, health, rejuvenation are the Ashvin's main characteristics. Their healing gifts saved many human mortals. Unlike the general Deva/Gods' viewpoint that consider humanity as impure, the Ashvins did not hesitate to help human beings in distress just like the Sun rays help all living entities on Earth every single day. The unafflicted Ashvini natives do not discriminate who to save: they must save everyone.

The Sun unleashes his powerful rays through Ashvini giving life, youthfulness and restoring everything, which is broken. The Sun is the king and he knows no boundaries. He wants everything right now at speed of light because he is made of light. He is depicted as driving a chariot with 7 unstoppable horses: transportation is a key theme in Ashvini. Ashvini natives like cars, or any other types of vehicles, but most importantly, they want quickness. The Sun is the natural karaka/significator of the soul: he places you in this situation so your soul learns and burns karmas. Ashvini is the best nakshatra to finish off karmas because Ashvini gives you this inner impulse to do it no matter what as Ashvini's ultimate goal is to start something new. Sun in Ashvini natives want to be free, fast, first in everything they do, everywhere. Their spiritual nature is generous and they want to help people in need hence you find them working in emergency fields. But when the Sun exalted here is afflicted, his rays become scorching. He makes life a burning desert and takes it away... After all, Surya Sun God is also Yama's father, the God of death. Ashvini Sun natives' anger has no limit as well as impatience. They become bossy, domineering and harsh. Don't get too close!... Unless the natives learn to cool themselves down like Surya Sun God who had his rays diminished to make up with Sanjna again.

hey! do you think a debilited sun (sun in Libra rashi/sun in 7th) can make you easily intimidated?

YESSS

debilitated Sun/weak Sun (due to malefic influence via conjunctions, aspects, houses etc) can realllyyyy make a native lack confidence, willpower, have a father who wasn't protective or fatherly (Sun represents Father). They can get nervous easily and feel easily intimidated by others. They're also the most prone to being jealous and insecure.

You can always tell when someone has a strong Sun bc they'll be naturally confident and sure of themselves. And there's a reason why Sun exalts in the fire sign of Aries and debilitates in its opposite sign of Libra (air sign).

In order to be confident, to be assertive and be a go-getter, you have to be in a headspace where you don't care what others think of you. You're just here to do your own thing. That's Aries energy (Aries is also Mars ruled)

Libra is a Air sign and it's a Venus sign and it's an energy that's more people pleaser-y. They're more hospitable and care about what others think and this means they're less likely to do something that they think others won't approve of (even if they wanna do it) they're very conscious of the people around them and making sure everybody's doing alright etc

If Aries is the leader, Libra is the mediator

They can't do what the other does though

Aries cannot be the charmer that makes everyone comfortable and looks out for them and Libra can't be the one that forgets everything else and takes charge but we need both in a community.

I think Air signs in general have a weakened Sun (as in Gemini Sun, Libra Sun, Aquarius Sun) if you think of people with these placements, they're most definitely a bit off kilter and unconventional.

A strong Sun makes you work within the structure of society to rebel against it (I had mentioned this in my Krittika post) whereas a weak Sun makes you separate from society in general, so if your whole existence feels like a deviation from the norm, there's no desire to do anything to "rebel", your choices are naturally offbeat
