If the Sun is your DaraKaraka, then your spouse will have solar qualities of steadfastness and dependability. They will be steady in their emotions unless your Sun Darakaraka is conjunct Rahu or the Moon.
More than anything, the Sun wants to follow its inspiration and achieve something great on its chosen path. With Sun as your DaraKaraka, you can expect a spouse who is dedicated to their path. You yourself desire a spouse who has leadership abilities and follows their inspiration. You want someone who can be a source of light to you and provide a steady/solid foundation. If the Sun is well placed in your chart with positive aspects, your spouse will have these good qualities. However, if your Sun is quite damaged then you’ll see more of a domineering and egotistical attitude.
The Sun represents a spouse who holds a high position in their field or is well-known. As the planet that rules the sign of Leo and the 5th house, your spouse will either have a significant planet placed in their 5th house, or have Leo as a part of their makeup. The Sun itself can be your Spouse’s most powerful planet – perhaps exalted, on their ascendant, or their AtmaKaraka.
Check the Sign and House your Sun DaraKaraka is placed in
Aside from the solar qualities that the Sun Darakara bestows on the spouse, you must look at the rasi sign and bhava that your DaraKaraka is in. The sign and house placement offers more specific information about the spouse.
For example, if your Darakaraka is in the 7th house, then your future husband or wife is very relationship oriented or you will have a business together. They will either have a strong Venusian influence or perhaps Venus is their AtmaKaraka. Whatever house your DaraKaraka is in, expect that house to be important in your spouses’ chart – they will have planets there, like Sun, Moon, or their Atmakaraka. If you know the meaning of the bhavas (houses), and the characteristics of each sign, then combine that information with the qualities of Sun. When you look at all those details, you get a good picture of the personality of your spouse.

Glad you enjoyed!

My Sun is in the 10th/pisces/purva.b. What does that mean?
My 7th and 10th lord jupiter is also in the 12th. Am I destined to live alone as a monk?
Thanks for the info.
Brooke says
Sun in 10th is too ambitious to become a monk. 😉 You are not destined to live alone as an ascetic (unless you want to). More realistically you’ll do a lot of spiritual karma in this life, perhaps work remotely or abroad. 7th in 12th doesn’t deny marriage on it’s own, other things need to be considered.
Karan says
Hello…my darakaraka is sun and it’s placed in 1st house debilitated…04degrees…Libra ascendant…what does it mean ?? But 7th Lord is placed in its own sign Scorpio in 2nd house 22degrees ??
Pia says
Hey…great article. My sun is in 12 house in conjunction with Mars and Mercury in Taurus. Also I am a Gemini Ascendant. What can be said about the spouse Brooke, is it bad because Sun is in 12 house , in the house of loses?
Please reply.
Brooke says
Hi Pia, Darakaraka in a dusthana house does not automatically give it a bad outcome. DK in 8th would probably be the most difficult, but even then not always. My own Darakaraka is also in the 12th. This gave me a spouse who grew up in another country and who has significant planets in the 12th house in his chart. Loss is not the only indication of the 12th. He or she may be an isolated person, or spiritually inclined, or foreign, or have suffered a loss in his/her life or have a lot of planets in their 12th house, like you.
Check your 7th house lord as well as Venus (if you’re a man) or Jupiter (if you’re a woman).
Blanche says
Why is DK in the 8th difficult? My DK is Gemini Sun in 8th with Mercury in there. Thanks!
Pia says
Thanks for your reply Brooke.
My Darakarka Sun sits in the sign of Capricorn in the 9th house of my Navamsa.
And yes I am a woman and my Jupiter and Venus both are conjuct in the 11th house in Bharani-4 nakshatra.
You know what the sad part is my Venus and Jupiter are conjuct with my debilitated Saturn. I’m a Gemini ascendant.
And this has given me difficulties in relationship and even a heartbreak.
Brooke, is this going to be same with my marriage also? I will face a lot of trouble?
There is no neechbhanga also.
What can you say about my marriage?? Or my husband.?
Also could you please tell me a little bit about my Venus and Jupiter in 7th in scorpio in Navamsa … Is it a bad thing to have ?? Please.
dana says
what if the lowest degree is in Pluto?
Brooke says
Hi Dana, the outer planets (Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto) are not used in this technique.
