Sun in Libra by Nakshatra

- 0°00'–6°40' Libra — Chitra (lord Mars, deity Vishwakarma, soft nature): Sun takes on Chitra's soft, Rakshasa-gana character; Mars is also a friend of Sun.
- 6°40'–20°00' Libra — Swati (lord Rahu, deity Vayu, movable nature): Sun takes on Swati's movable, Deva-gana character.
- 20°00'–30°00' Libra — Vishakha (lord Jupiter, deity Indra-Agni, mixed nature): Sun takes on Vishakha's mixed, Rakshasa-gana character; Jupiter is also a friend of Sun.
Yogas to Look For
Neecha Bhanga (cancellation of debility). Sun's weakness in Libra is cancelled when, for example, Venus (the lord of Libra) or the planet exalted in Libra is in a kendra from the ascendant or Moon, or when Sun is aspected by its own sign lord. A cancelled debility can even produce a Raja Yoga.
