Sun Remedies in Lal Kitab: House-by-House Guide and Why Each One Matters

In Lal Kitab, the Sun stands for a person’s authority, their father, and their standing in the world. Where the Sun sits in a chart decides which part of life feels that pressure the most, so the remedies change from house to house. Below are all twelve sets of Sun remedies, rewritten in plain terms, along with the reasoning behind each group. This piece draws on Lal Kitab tradition and on Satish Chandra Bhatt’s own reading of these remedies, and several people who’ve tried them say they noticed a shift once they started.

Sun in the 1st House

The first house is the self, the body, the face a person shows the world. A weak Sun here often shows up as a shaky sense of identity or trouble holding on to authority.

If the Sun’s effects feel unfavorable, marrying sooner rather than later helps.
Have a water tap built at home.
Avoid being intimate with your spouse during daylight hours.
Build a dark room at the rear right corner of the house.
Skip jaggery.
Keep your name free of controversy.
Help ordinary people when you can.
Wear a ruby, or copper if ruby isn’t within reach.
Feed jaggery to a monkey.
Hammer a copper nail into the legs of your bed.
Don’t build wealth without earning it through your own effort.

The first house is where the Sun’s confidence lives, so most of these remedies are about protecting a clean reputation and channeling energy at the right time of day rather than scattering it. People who’ve stuck to the daytime-intimacy rule and kept their name out of disputes often report feeling steadier in how others treat them.

Sun in the 2nd House

The second house covers money, family, and how a person speaks. A troubled Sun here tends to bring friction with women in the family and unstable finances.

Don’t accept wheat, barley (jo), or millet (bajra) as donations from anyone.
If there’s tension with women in the household, try Saturn’s remedies too, like donating coconut, almonds, or oil at a temple.
Get a hand-pump built at your ancestral home.
Avoid donating Moon-related items like rice, silver, or milk.
Keep your conduct clean.
Put in effort toward the welfare of others.
Fasting on Sundays works in your favor.
Listening to the Harivansh Puran helps.
Offer water mixed with jaggery to the Sun.
Donating wheat, jaggery, or an iron pan is useful too.
Keep government officials on your good side.
Avoid property or land disputes involving women.

Because this house touches both money and the female side of the family, the remedies lean on Sun offerings for finances and Saturn’s remedies for smoothing out family tension. Many people say that once they stopped taking grain donations from others, their own finances felt less chaotic.

Sun in the 3rd House

The third house is courage, siblings, and effort. Here, the Sun asks for good character and staying connected to the women who raised you.

Maintain good conduct.
Support your nephew.
Keep seeking blessings from your grandmother and mother.
Fast on Sundays.
Offer water mixed with jaggery to the Sun.
Recite or listen to the Harivansh Puran.
Serve kheer (rice pudding) to others.
Keep your thinking positive.

This house is closely tied to the maternal line, which is why staying close to your grandmother and mother comes up directly. People who’ve kept up the Sunday fast alongside this often mention feeling more in control of their own courage and decisions.

Sun in the 4th House

The fourth house is home, mother, and peace of mind. A difficult Sun here can unsettle domestic life and strain family businesses.

Feeding bread to blind people at your ancestral home works in your favor.
Look after your aunt’s son.
Stay away from the iron or wood trade.
Business in gold, silver, or cloth suits you well.
Avoid non-vegetarian food and alcohol.
Don’t fish, and don’t eat fish.
Wear a copper coin on a khaki thread around your neck.
Wear gold.
Feed jaggery to monkeys.
Avoid arguments with government officials.
Stay out of illegal work or business.

Since the fourth house governs domestic peace, the remedies push toward trades and metals that are considered gentle on the home, gold, silver, cloth, rather than iron or wood. People who switched their business away from iron often describe calmer evenings at home afterward.

Sun in the 5th House

The fifth house is children, intellect, and the promises a person keeps. The Sun here rewards honesty and discipline around rituals.

Look after a red-faced monkey.
Don’t criticize others.
Don’t lie.
Having a child soon works in your favor.
Build your kitchen on the eastern side of the house.
Drop one drop of mustard oil on the ground every day for 43 days straight.
Keep every promise you make.
Carry out all the rituals and ceremonies that come your way.
Keep your conduct clean.
Leave your verandah open, without a roof or shelter over it.

This house is about what a person passes on, children, ideas, commitments, so the remedies are heavy on keeping your word and finishing rituals properly. Several people who kept the 43-day mustard oil routine say their long-pending plans finally moved forward.

Sun in the 6th House

The sixth house deals with health, rivals, and daily struggle. The Sun here asks for steady rituals tied to ancestry and the father’s wellbeing.

Donate Sun-related items like copper, jaggery, and wheat.
Feed jaggery and wheat to a red-faced monkey.
Feed jaggery or wheat flour to brown ants.
Keep a silver box filled with river water at home.
For your father’s health, keep water beside you while you sleep.
Follow your family’s ancestral customs closely.
After cooking at night, put out the stove flame with milk.
Keep Ganga water at home.
Feed bread to a dog at a religious place.
Wash your grandmother’s or mother’s feet.
Bury a square piece of copper in the ground.
Keep items donated at a temple stored at home.
Fast on Sundays.
Listen to the Harivansh Puran.
Wear a ruby.
Keep your verandah open.
Hammer copper nails into your bed’s legs.

This is the longest list of the twelve because the sixth house covers health, rivals, and daily grind all at once, so the remedies stack up: father’s health, ancestral custom, and daily discipline together. People who’ve kept Ganga water in the house alongside the nightly milk-and-stove ritual often say their day-to-day stress eased noticeably.

Sun in the 7th House

The seventh house is marriage and partnership. A strained Sun here calls for discipline in small daily habits rather than big gestures.

Bury a square-shaped piece of copper in the ground.
Take care of a black cow.
Take a sip of water before starting any important work.
Cut back on salt.
Before eating, offer a small portion of your food to the fire.
Put out the stove with milk at night.
Fast on Sundays.
Listen to the verses of the Harivansh Puran.
Keep your conduct clean.
Hammer copper nails into your bed’s legs.

Because partnerships thrive on small, consistent habits rather than dramatic changes, most of the remedies here are quiet daily acts, a sip of water, a bit of food offered to fire, less salt. Couples who’ve kept these habits going often mention that everyday disagreements settle faster.

Sun in the 8th House

The eighth house is sudden change and hidden trouble. The Sun here can bring abrupt setbacks, so the remedies focus on discipline and keeping bad habits away.

If there’s no malefic planet involved, donate 800 grams of jaggery or wheat at a temple for 8 straight days or 8 straight Sundays; if a malefic planet is involved, float them in water instead.
Eat jaggery and drink water before heading to work.
Wear a ruby set in gold.
Take care of a black or red cow.
Occasionally toss a copper coin into a burning pyre.
Your home’s entrance shouldn’t face south.
Float jaggery in flowing water.
Stay away from wrongdoing.
Keep your conduct clean.
Don’t lie to your in-laws.
Look after your elder brother.
Stay away from any habit of stealing.
Fast on Sundays.
Listen to the story of the Harivansh Puran.
Don’t leave your verandah open.

The eighth house is where things happen without warning, so the remedies double down on personal discipline, honesty with in-laws, no stealing, no wrongdoing, since character is what holds steady when circumstances don’t. People who’ve closed off their south-facing entrance or moved it say their households have felt calmer since.

Sun in the 9th House

The ninth house is father, fortune, and faith. Here the Sun asks for balance, neither too harsh nor too soft.

Donate silver, rice, or milk.
Feed wheat and jaggery to a brown bear.
Use brass utensils.
Both getting too angry and being too soft work against you here.
Wear a ruby.
Keep your verandah open.
Feed jaggery to monkeys.
Hammer copper nails into your bed’s legs.

Fortune in this house depends on temperament as much as ritual, which is why the advice about balancing anger and softness stands out from the rest of the list. People who’ve worked on that balance alongside the Sunday rituals often describe their luck feeling steadier rather than swinging wildly.

Sun in the 10th House

The tenth house is career and public standing. A difficult Sun here threatens reputation, so covering the head becomes a recurring theme.

Always keep your head covered with a white or light-colored turban.
Avoid black or blue clothing.
Float a copper coin in flowing water.
Wash bitumen (shilajeet) in water.
Keep a brown buffalo.
Stay away from non-vegetarian food and alcohol.
Get a hand-pump built at your ancestral home.
Keep a mongoose.
Fast on Sundays.
Keep your verandah open.
Listen to the story of the Harivansh Puran.

Career and reputation sit at the center of this house, and covering the head is treated as a stand-in for guarding dignity and public image. People who’ve kept the head covered during difficult career phases often say they felt more respected at work during that stretch.

Sun in the 11th House

The eleventh house is gains and fulfilled desires. The Sun here rewards honesty and letting go of small excess.

Keep a cart, turnip, or radish beside you at night and donate it at a temple the next morning.
Release a male goat equal to your own weight into a forest.
Donate copper.
Avoid non-vegetarian food and alcohol.
Don’t eat fish, and don’t fish.
Don’t lie.
Sleep on a bed set up on sand for 43 days straight.
Listen to the story of the Harivansh Puran.
Donate wheat, jaggery, and copper.
Hammer copper nails into your bed’s legs.

Gains in this house tend to come with temptation to cut corners, so honesty and letting go of things, releasing a goat, donating grain, come up more than usual. People who followed through on the goat-release remedy have mentioned unexpected gains showing up not long after.

Sun in the 12th House

The twelfth house is loss, isolation, and unseen expense. The Sun here calls for humility and forgiveness more than ritual.

Feed jaggery and wheat to a red-faced monkey on Sundays.
Offer a mix of seven kinds of grains to brown ants.
Don’t give false testimony.
Put your trust in faith and good conduct.
Don’t start a business partnership with your brother-in-law or uncles.
Keep a verandah in your house.
Keeping a wheat-grinding machine at home is beneficial.
Forgive even your enemies.
Avoid mechanic’s work.
Don’t accept electrical items for free.
Fast on Sundays.
Listen to the story of the Harivansh Puran.

Because this house is about what quietly slips away, unseen losses and buried resentment, forgiveness gets named directly as a remedy, alongside the usual practical warnings about partnerships and free electrical goods. People who’ve made peace with old grudges say their finances stopped leaking in ways they couldn’t explain.

This overview is based on Lal Kitab tradition as read by Satish Chandra Bhatt. Every birth chart is different, so it’s worth showing your full chart to an experienced astrologer before taking up any of these remedies.
