The Sun's Transit Through Aries

The Sun's transit through Aries is the transit through his exaltation sign on a Lahiri sidereal chart, and career shifts in that month are still judged from the 10th house. Aries is a Mars sign, movable and fiery, and the Sun is strongest there by dignity. Dignity does not choose the department. Count Aries from the lagna. This month is famous in several regional calendars as the solar turn into Mesha, the season of Vishu, Bohag Bihu, and Puthandu, which cluster near that ingress. Those are solar new-year customs. They are not a prediction that every chart receives a promotion. No day of the month is fixed on this page, because the civil date shifts and a guessed day would be a false ephemeris.

Cancer lagna sees Aries as the 10th. The exalted Sun walks through career, authority, and public standing. That is the lagna for which this transit is genuinely a work month, especially if the Vimshottari dasha already running also belongs to the Sun or to Mars, the sign lord. Libra lagna sees Aries as the 7th. The same exalted Sun walks through marriage and partnerships. The spouse, the client, or the other party in a contract gets the solar weather, and the D9 Navamsa still says whether the bond can use it. Capricorn lagna sees Aries as the 4th. The transit sits in the home, with the mother-house and property, and the career remains the 10th, which for Capricorn is Libra, untouched by this particular solar month except by aspect if other planets join.

If your birth Sun is debilitated in Libra, a transit through exaltation does not cancel the fall. You get a month of solar strength in one house while the natal Sun remains fallen in his own story. Use the month for the house Aries is. Do not rewrite your life. Ruby is the Sun's stone and it is not a souvenir of Mesha sankranti. It is worn only after the birth chart names the Sun, which a transit cannot do. Mars, lord of Aries, will color the month with heat. If Aries is your 6th, which it is for a Scorpio lagna, the exalted Sun stirs conflict, debt, and service, and an exalted planet in the 6th can fight well and also pick fights. Read the house number before you call the month lucky.
