Effects of Weak Surya (Sun)
Traditionally weak surya (sun) is associated with: low confidence, friction with father or bosses, government work stuck, eye or bone weakness. The intensity depends on the strength of the planets involved, aspects from benefics like Jupiter, and the running dasha. Effects are usually felt most during the dasha or transit of the planets that form the dosha.
When and how to do the remedies
Begin the remedies for weak surya (sun) on a Sunday in Shukla Paksha (the waxing Moon), ideally in the morning after a bath. Choose one or two practices you can keep up for at least 40 days rather than many that you abandon. Mantra japa works best at the same time and place every day; charity (daan) is most effective when given to people who truly need it, without expecting anything back. Keep a simple note of what you do: steadiness matters more than the size of the ritual.
