Sun in Aries 1st House
Entitled to act. Everything revolves around this native. Powerful solar force, confident actors, warriors, athletes, performers, visible leaders. Full of heat, quick to react; they must act; they are entitled to take action, to push forward. Their whole look and temperament is to thrust forward and push through. They are natural leaders; radiant, intelligent, commanding; they have a powerful presence and are firmly seated in themselves. They have a creative and ethical vision of life; they tend to be transparent and honest, they take the higher path. You learn from them by watching them, following them, honouring them; they don’t have to to show people how it’s done, they might not even know how they do it; but in some way they become the source for power of others.
This Sun supports sports excellence, high command, being the first of selected, going first, pioneering. These natives are typically overbearing, impatient, domineering and self-centred. Afflictions can make them more of a cruel tyrant, intolerant, impatient, entitled and destructive. Sun & Moon conjunction here can make a person very cruel. This Sun brings a heavy affliction to the moon. If Moon is quite close to the Sun (still waning or dark) they will have almost no sentiment for others, very little ability to empathize or feel sympathy.
Benefic or malefic influences on this Sun will have a powerful influence over their physical health and solar radiance which they wear as identity. Benefics will make them a righteous authority with powerful moral courage and charisma that people naturally want to follow. They now who they are and where they are going; they have a sense of certainly in action that people trust; and they have the honest open character that people look up to. They are natural leaders, they go their own way and others do well to follow them; there can be issues if they try to work under others. They will never follow someone else; they do not ask permission to act; they act directly, they assert their will (and will bend others to their will as well).
This Sun brings too much heat to the head: fevers, headaches, thinning hair (leading to the natural crown). The heat that is already common in Aries ascendant natives is greatly intensified when Sun is here: biliousness, impatience, unintended harshness or cruelty, exceptional independence and sovereignty over their own life.
The Classics
Sun rules the 5th house for Aries ascendant.
Phala Deepika Sun in 1st house: “Leaves the person with very little hair on their head, makes him inactive, short-tempered, impetuous, tall haughty, has soiled eyes and a lean body. He is valiant, impatient and cruel hearted. If Sun is in Aries ascendant they will suffer from night-blindness.”
Jataka Bharnam Sun in 1st house: “The native has thin hair, shows laziness in doing things, tends to be angry, has a very extreme temperament, is sensual or amorous, has diseases eyes, bodily dryness, is brave, lacks spirit of forgiveness and is cruel. They will suffer from bilious disorders: fever, chicken pox, croup, TB, irregular bowel movements (diarrhoea or constipation). He does not adjust well to those around him because he does not wish to conspire against anyone, and because he is frank and clear in his speech. They are prone to sudden anger but it’s short lived. He leads a life of freedom and independence as he does not like to lose his sense of originality which is lost when he works under others. They generally have righteous and moral conduct. Sun in Aries 1st house native has volatility, variability, capriciousness or naughtiness in his nature.”
B.V. Raman Sun in the 1st house: “Strong moral nature, righteous minded, ambitious, love for power and tends to be well supported by good health and vitality. Cheerfulness and optimistic temperament help to ensure popularity. It adds respect to the personality and gives lofty motives. If with Saturn or Mars, it indicates scars and a hot constitution. The blood becomes impure and will be itches all over the body: fevers, inflammations and eye afflictions should also be anticipated.”
Chamatkar Chintamani Sun in the 1st house: “The native is tall, distressed with wife, children and brethren. He suffers from biliousness, lives in a foreign land with difficulty, and has many financial ups and downs. He may not have any children, he will be happy but cruel, and will have poor appetite and defective sight. He is bold, modest, an actor, studious, diligent, and well-placed in society. He makes progress and gets good luck. If in Pisces, the native develops connection with many women. If in Leo, he suffers night-blindness, but the native is strong. If Sun is in masculine signs he will have few children and be discontented. If in female signs he will have a large family and be contented and happy. If in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius (fire signs) he is bold, unhappy and courteous; he may get measles or small pox in childhood. If in Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pisces he may be an actor. If in Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces the native is a scholar and a virtuous man. If in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn (earth signs) the native will work as an underdog. Sun in Cancer attracts him to his family. Sun in Scorpio makes him a good doctor. If in fire signs the native is ambitious, short-tempered, dominating and sober. If in earthy signs the native is vain, impertinent, moody. Airy signs makes the native just, large-hearted, and has artistic and literary taste. Water signs draw him to women forgetting personal good. The Sun during summer solstice brings disputes and makes him ego-centric and selfish. In winter solstice promotes divinity in the native. If exalted, well aspected or associated gives faith, confidence, natural ambition, positions of trust and influence and supports moral growth.”
BPHS 5th lord in the 1st house: “The native will be scholarly, blessed with progeny happiness, be miserly, crooked and a stealer of others wealth. If Sun is exalted here he will have a natural sense of giving and is called “Father of the World” since the Sun so freely gives light, energy and creative power.”
B.V. Raman 5th lord in the 1st house: “If favourably combined and associated the person commands a number of servants, becomes a judge, magistrate, or minister empowered to punish the evil minded. He will earn the grace of God. Few children; will have foes and will give happiness to others. If this 5th lord is afflicted there will be no children, will invoke shudra devotes (evil and destructive forces), will be evil mined and the leader of a gang of deceitful persons: a tale-bearer with a sting. If the lord is moderately good, mixed results will follow.”

Sun in Ashwini 1st House
Forever young, wild & free, and they will stay like that until the day they die (but this can be a little earlier than expected); accidental or reckless death is not uncommon. They like to win, to conquer, to assert there personal will on the universe
They radiate confidence of the champion: they’re quick; they’re likely first in any competition. They can have very high pitta causing them to suffer migraines, fevers, headaches and likely balding in old age.
Tall, powerful, expert equestrian, perhaps riding motorbike in modern times, though there’s nothing quite like the effect of making people look way up at you while you’re sitting on a horse. They are descendants of royalty, born to lead, born to be a role-model for the world to look up to. Of course all of this can also go to their head and they can be a bit egotistical, impatient, very goal orientated.

Almost immediately afterward, she was cast in David Mamet’s play Oleanna for the Sydney Theatre Company, opposite Geoffrey Rush. The production opened in late 1994 and received major critical praise. Around the same period, she also appeared in the ABC television series Heartland, which became one of her first substantial screen appearances.
On 29 December 1997, Blanchett married playwright and screenwriter Andrew Upton after a relatively short courtship. Through 1995–1996 she built her reputation primarily through Australian theatre and television. In 1995 she appeared in the television miniseries Bordertown. In 1996 she performed in stage productions including Hamlet and The Tempest with the Belvoir Street Theatre company.
1997 became the decisive breakthrough year. On 8 August 1997, the Australian feature film Thank God He Met Lizzie was released, giving Blanchett one of her first major leading film roles. Her performance attracted strong critical attention inside Australia. Shortly afterward, she was cast by director Gillian Armstrong as Queen Elizabeth I in the historical film Elizabeth. Filming took place during 1997 and into early 1998. This role fundamentally changed her international status.On 13 September 1998, Elizabeth premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film then received broader international release in October 1998. Blanchett’s portrayal of Elizabeth Tudor brought immediate worldwide acclaim. She won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama in January 1999 and received her first Academy Award nomination on 15 February 1999.
Throughout 1999 she rapidly entered Hollywood productions. On 12 March 1999, An Ideal Husband was released, where she played Lady Gertrude Chiltern. On 25 December 1999, The Talented Mr. Ripley premiered in the United States, with Blanchett playing Meredith Logue.

During 2000 she was also cast as Galadriel in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, although principal photography for the trilogy had already begun in New Zealand in late 1999. This casting would eventually anchor her image permanently to ethereal, regal, and mythic roles throughout the 2000s.
