Sun Transit in Leo

Leo is the Sun's own sign, and its first twenty degrees form Surya's moolatrikona. The Sun holds full command here for about a month, in the one sign no other graha owns.

Leo governs the stomach, the heart, children, creativity and authority, and the Sun lights all of them at once. Recognition comes more easily this month than in any other. Where the strength meets no discipline, it hardens into arrogance.

The nakshatras are Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni. Magha, under Ketu, opens the stay with ancestors and inherited position, and Purva Phalguni, under Venus, brings rest, pleasure and family celebration. Uttara Phalguni belongs to the Sun and closes the month with duty and steady standing.

Phaladeepika places the Sun well in the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh from the Moon, which here means Gemini, Pisces, Scorpio and Libra Moons, and Aquarius Moons carry it in the seventh, where a partner meets a stronger will. Leo Moons hold it in the first, which raises heat in the body.

The month shows a person how much they want recognition. Holding on to it tends to isolate them, so give credit away and watch what remains.

• Offer arghya at sunrise every day of the stay.
• Recite Om Hram Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah at midday.
• Give recognition to one person who worked without it.
