A Strong Sun
A strong Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra, and it supports authority where it joins the tenth house of career. Red coral belongs to Mars, not to this dignity.

Aries, Leo, and the father
The Sun is exalted in Aries, owns Leo, and is debilitated in Libra. Strength shows as clear authority, a visible father principle, and a spine in the house the Sun occupies. In the tenth house of career that visibility is public rank. In the first house of the self it is a person who is hard to ignore. In the ninth house of dharma it supports teachers and the father. The benefit is not warmth. The Moon is warmth and mind. A strong Sun can be exact and still lonely if the Moon is crushed.
Lordship changes the gift
For Leo lagna the Sun is the self, and strength is straightforward. For Libra lagna the Sun rules the eleventh of gains and is debilitated in the lagna sign, so a strong Sun is harder to claim. For Aries lagna the Sun rules the fifth of children. Status yogas involving the Sun still need the tenth lord. A strong Sun in the sixth house of conflict and debt can win disputes and also live in dispute. Call that a mixed benefit. Do not sell it as constant victory.
Six years of daylight
Sun mahadasha lasts 6 years. It is short beside Saturn's 19 and Venus's 20, and it is when solar strength is unmistakable. Ruby is the associated gem and is not automatic. The Sun must be a functional help. Lahiri Aries is exaltation. Near the sidereal edge, a tropical Aries Sun may be Pisces, where the Sun is not exalted. The benefit collapses if the zodiac was wrong.
