Sun as Ghatani Karaka

Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series -https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle


Let’s cover this article under following points -


Sun - Sun represents Personality, King, Government, Father, Authority, Career, Top Positions, Ego, Self Esteem, Health, Education etc.


Ghatni Karaka - It is planet with the 6th highest degree. It is known as Ghatni Karaka or Significator of Obstacles. This planet and its position in chart will indicate towards kind of obstacles and disputes coming into your life. 


Results of Sun as Ghatni Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Sun becomes someone’s Ghatni Karaka -


1. So, Ghatni Karaka is a planet which tells us about the disagreements, disputes and diseases we may encounter in our lives. It also represents the other things or people related with 6th house as it is the planet with 6th highest degree like Health Issues, Litigation, Under-Privileged People, Debts and Competitors etc.


2. So, when someone has Sun as Ghatni Karaka, the first major outcome can be there that this person may get into lots of ego clashes with people, especially with people at authoritative positions.


3. This also shows ego clashes with Father.


4. This also shows that authority figures may create obstacles for him in matters of career, authority and recognition etc.


5. This also shows Sun related health issues to person; i.e. Heart and Brain related illnesses to native or his Father.


6. Then whichever house Sun rules in chart, person can face obstacles and conflicts related with that house related things or people. Suppose, Sun rules 4th house/Leo and it is Ghatni Karaka. It shows conflicts or health issues to Mother or in home environment.


7. Sun’s dignity will show the end result. Like, if Sun is in good dignity, person will gain authority, recognition etc from those ego clashes with authority figures, Govt and Father etc. But if Sun is losing the dignity then person may end-up in having lots of ego hurt in these types of ego clashes.


Dignity - Dignity of Sun would indicate how the native will attain the purpose of Sun as Ghatani Karaka in life? If Sun is in good dignity then it can also be said that good support can be provided by authority figures in dealing with conflicts/health issues and person may gain authority through that support. But if Sun is losing the dignity or further impacted by malefic then person may not receive this support till late life or person may be facilitated in a negative way. In later case, person may have lots of ego hurt or ego clashes in order to gain that support.


Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Sun’s position.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
