Normally for Astro Therapy for the Sun's affliction, Aditya Hridayam, a treatise on the Sun, is prescribed.
By Sun, we dont mean the outer Sun, but the inner Sun, the Absolute Self !
In Mysticism, everything is symbolic. The Indian may worship the Sun, but he is not worshipping the outer Sun. He is worshipping the Inner Sun, the divine component in man. He may worship the snake; but again he is not worshipping the outer snakes, but the Serpentine Energy known as the Kundalini, which lies dormant in humans !
The Aditya Hridayam is a masterly treatise on the mystic inner Absolute Sun or Absolute Self, which is the base of all that is !
In classical Astrology, Sun represents the Self ( Kalatma Dinakrit ). So it is only logical to associate the outer Sun as the true symbol of the Inner Spiritual Sun.
Sun represents Self, Moon the Mind, Mars physical strength,
Mercury Knowledge, Jupiter happiness, learning and wisdom
Venus libido & Saturn melancholy supreme !
Sun is the King and Moon is the Queen, Mars Defence Minister
Mercury prince, Venus and Jupiter ministers & Saturn the Messenger !
