The Sun for Tula Lagna
For Tula lagna the Sun rules the eleventh house, and the eleventh house is gains, while Saturn, not the Sun, is the yogakaraka. Eight tips to strengthen the Sun miss that lordship.

What the Sun actually rules
Tula lagna is sidereal Libra. The Sun rules Leo, which is the eleventh house from Libra, and the eleventh house is gains. The Sun is therefore an eleventh lord, a graha of income and networks, not the yogakaraka. Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius, the fourth and the fifth from Libra, so Saturn holds both home and children and is the yogakaraka for this lagna. Advice that spends eight steps strengthening the Sun, often by ruby, aims at the wrong throne. The Sun is also debilitated in Libra. If it sits in the lagna itself, debility is the first fact, and neechabhanga has to be checked before anyone calls it strong.
Gains are not the self
The first house is the self, ruled by Venus for Tula. A strong Sun can improve the eleventh without making the person solar in the way Mesha lagna is solar. The tenth house of career is Cancer, ruled by the Moon. Career remedies that ignore the Moon and polish the Sun are polishing a gain and calling it a vocation. The seventh house is marriage and is Aries, ruled by Mars. Mars for this lagna rules both the second and the seventh, a maraka pattern. Strengthening Mars casually while trying to fix the Sun is a second mistake.
If the Sun is weak
Support for an eleventh lord is timed by Vimshottari, not by eight morning habits. The Sun mahadasha lasts 6 years and is when a Tula native actually meets this lord as the clock. Sunday conduct, respect for a father, and honesty about income are traditional and modest. A ruby is not automatic. The Sun must be a help in this chart, not merely famous. Lahiri sidereal Libra rising is required before any of this lordship is real. A tropical Libra rising is a different lagna.
