In Vedic medical astrology, the Moon governs:
Mind and emotions
Fluids in the body (blood, lymph, plasma)

In Vedic medical astrology (Ayur-Jyotisha), the Sun (Surya) is the supreme karaka (significator) for vitality, the soul (Atma), and overall health. As the source of life force (Prana Shakti), it governs the heart, eyes, bones, spine, blood circulation, and immune system. An afflicted Sun—through weak placement, malefic aspects (e.g., from Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu), or combustion—can indicate chronic ailments, fevers, or vitality loss. Conversely, a strong Sun (exalted in Aries or in its own sign Leo) bestows robust health and resilience.
This synthesis of astrology and Ayurveda, as explored in texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Charaka Samhita, helps predict predispositions to diseases. The Sun's position in signs and houses reveals specific vulnerabilities, but always consider the full chart, aspects, dasha periods, and Navamsa (D-9) for accuracy. Afflictions amplify risks, while benefics like Jupiter mitigate them.

In Vedic Astrology, Surya (the Sun) is the Atmakaraka, the significator of the soul, vitality, and authority. Its transit (Sankranti) through the 12 zodiac signs (Rashis) marks the solar months, influencing not just seasonal changes but also personal energy, career, relationships, and well-being. Each transit lasts approximately 30 days, with the Sun entering a new sign around the 14th–15th of each Gregorian month. This movement aligns with the rising zodiac sign (Lagna) at sunrise, creating unique daily dynamics based on the Sun's house position relative to the rising sign.
Drawing from classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, the Sun's position at sunrise sets the tone for the day. For instance, when the Sun transits Aries from April 15 to May 14, Aries rises at sunrise, placing the Sun in the 1st house (Lagna). This pattern shifts monthly, affecting how the Sun's energy manifests in various houses.
