Sun (Surya) · 7th House (Yuvati/Spouse/Partnership)

From the 7th the Sun also faces the lagna directly, so self-image and partnership keep testing each other.
It works best when roles are clear and respect is mutual; partners in authority or government, and a spouse with a career of their own, suit it.
Which sign falls in the 7th house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Sun's strength there. For a Libra (Tula) lagna this house holds Aries (Mesha), where Sun is exalted; for a Aries (Mesha) lagna it holds Libra (Tula), where it is debilitated.

Sun mahadasha runs 6 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Sun's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 7th house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.
Sun mahadasha: what its 6 years bring · See your own dasha — the dasha calculator
- Chant the Sun mantra: Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Sunday is the strongest day for it. Chant 2 malas a day (216 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 7,000.
- Give a Sun donation. Give wheat, jaggery, copper on Sunday, before noon. Offer it to an elderly man or a father figure, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Sun. Offer water to the Sun at sunrise; respect your father and those in authority. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
