Which planet?
The ruling planet shapes how sun surya expresses in your life; its dignity, house and dasha decide the real outcome. The page above details the rulership.

How does sun surya interact with my dasha?
The running dasha decides WHEN sun surya's significations activate in your life. The same placement behaves differently in different periods — timing is half the reading.
Frequently asked questions about Surya Grahan (solar eclipse)
Since the Sun is the body directly involved in a surya grahan, the two most common questions about this planet are really questions about eclipses.
When is the next major solar eclipse? The total solar eclipse of Monday, 2 August 2027 is the century’s longest totality. From India it is seen only as a partial phase, and it is the sole 2027 eclipse that carries sutak here — the year’s other solar eclipse, on 12 August 2026, was not visible from India at all, so no sutak applied to it.
Does every solar eclipse affect Sun’s significations in a chart? Classical Jyotish reads an eclipse’s effect through which house and nakshatra it falls in for that individual’s chart, not as a blanket rule for everyone — the Sun’s own dignity and dasha at the time also matter.
