Siddhānta — the theory
S ūrya is the centre of the chart, and the centre of the self. The Moon showed how you meet each passing day; the Sun shows who is doing the meeting — the steady “I” at the root, the source every other light reflects. Before we open the two lenses, hold one image: the Sun shines with its own light. It borrows from nothing. It is what the Moon was reflecting all along.
Movement I · Siddhānta — two lenses on the Sun
The Sun is the ego and conscious will — the core identity, the seat of vitality and purpose. It governs how one shines, leads, and is recognised; its sign colours the whole solar character.
Sūrya is ātman — the soul itself — and the pitṛ, the father and the king. Its sign and dignity show the soul's native strength and the seat of one's command.
The Sun is the light the Moon reflects — it is the soul. The work of the path is not to still it, but to let the small self, the ego, grow transparent to it, so the personal “I” gives way to the universal Self. A wounded or proud Sun is not a flaw but an instruction: this is the lamp you are asked to clear, so the flame can be seen.
“The lamp is not the flame; clear the glass, and the light shows through.”
Your self has a centre, and it is made of light. The West reads its surface — ego, will, identity. Jyotiṣa reads its depth — ātman, the soul and the king within. The spiritual path names its purpose — to let the small self grow transparent to the great Self. So the sign, house and dignity of your Sun tell you the shape your light takes. Mastery is to read that shape on sight — and, in time, to let it shine without pride.
Abhyāsa — hands at the wheel
Theory is the hook; this is the work. Drag the Sun around the dial — or click any sign — to move Sūrya, and watch the light change character as it passes each house. Move through all twelve until each temperament is a reflex.

Prayoga — read the life, place the light
Abhyāsa gave you the sign and asked how {{ planetEn }} behaves there. Now work the way a reader truly works — backward. Read a life shaped by {{ planetEn }}, decide which sign it stands in, and place the light there on the wheel. No options are listed and no score is kept; a wrong guess costs nothing — only the reasoning you build.

Siddhi — read it cold.
No passive completion. Here is an unseen placement. Name the nature of the self before the answer is revealed — the wheel will tell you at once whether you have it.
