Sun in Aquarius

Aquarius is a «masculine», fixed, positive sign connected with the element of air, ruled by Saturn, the universal servant, and depicted as a woman carrying a pitcher. Thus these people are capable of suffering for the good of others; their activity may be useful for humanity in general. Here the Sun is in a sign hostile to it and does not attain its full strength. Usually it may be found that people born with such a combination in the horoscope have some period of poverty or are in a subordinate position in relation to people who are inferior to them in ability. The Sun in Aquarius, as it were, teaches a person: he is placed in circumstances in which he studies the higher purpose of life, be that spiritual development or service for the good of others. Thereby these people rise above the egoism usually inherent in them from birth.

They are able to learn easily; they usually feel an interest in mystical knowledge — since Aquarius is a sign connected with the element of air (considerable mental activity) and is ruled by Saturn (pointing to successes in yoga). All the classical texts say that the Sun in Aquarius gives its owner little happiness from children, brings losses connected with the father's property, an inclination towards heart disease, an inclination towards deeds little suited to their station in life. Their wealth is not stable. All these qualities may or may not manifest, depending on the placements in the rest of the chart. But there is no doubt that this person will have abilities in the field of literature. Such people love new ideas, desire the carrying out of social reforms and the improvement of the condition of the oppressed masses. They are patient, reliable, and work persistently. These are attractive, generous people with a broad outlook, diligent, devoted, harmless, sometimes a little eccentric. (Tom Hopke)

Surya in Kumbha — the Sun in Aquarius

These are attractive people, generous, sometimes eccentric, with broad views. They are patient, reliable, persistent, devoted and faithful friends. As a rule there is a period of poverty in their life; sometimes they may depend on less talented people. They learn easily and feel an interest in mystical and spiritual knowledge.

The classical texts say that the Sun in Aquarius brings little happiness from children, and also losses connected with the father's property and an inclination towards heart disease. Aquarius natives are interested in public life; they strive to transform society and improve the condition of the needy. (Indubala)

The Sun in Aquarius: hot-tempered, possesses enormous strength, an individualist, sociable, a philanthropist, impartial, good intuition, stubborn, with a sense of his own dignity.

The Sun in the 4th or the 10th house in the sign of Aquarius is an indicator of heart disease in the father.

The Sun in the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) makes a person noble and educated. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)

The Sun in Aquarius: the person may become a social worker. They have many friends. Such a person will attain success by his own efforts. They have no crafty ambitions and no wish to govern others. They do not think about their own wealth. The Sun in Capricorn is an egoist, and in the sign of Aquarius it is the opposite. He is a volunteer and thinks about the people. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

A person born with the Sun in the sign of Aquarius will engage in affairs not corresponding to his station in life, will be poor, and will have neither sons nor property. (Varaha Mihira, «Brihat Jataka», chapter 18)

Results of the periods and sub-periods of the Sun in the sign of Aquarius

For natives with the Sun in Aquarius the period of the Sun is — A time of quarrels and disputes, litigation and argument during which, unless helped by other conditions, the individual will seldom be victorious. His enemies will take this opportunity to embarrass him and it would be better if any issues at stake could be postponed rather than joined. Even in his domestic relationships there will be disagreements and misunderstandings, sometimes actual opposition and antagonism. As if these conditions were not sufficient, he also will suffer from some heat complaint which will be aggravated by outbursts of temper and the general tension of mind and body produced by the continual bickering which marks this period.  (Dr. Shanker Adawal — The System of Dashas)
