Sun 251When the faculty of sight is taken into consideration,
the two eyes of man are equally governed by Sun. This is

the right eye and the twelfth house represents the left eye.
A serious affliction of Sun in second house affects the right
eye, while if the same thing happens to Moon in the
twelfth house, it affects the left eye. The principle behind

connected with eyesight. Ailments of feet and sight
generally go together. If a man is accustomed to walk in
scorching Sun with bare feet, his eyesight is soon affected.
Remember that feet are also governed by Pisces. Feet
absorb the destructive potency of Sun’s rays while the
eyes absorb the creative potency.

who presides over the demarcation line between darkness
of the skies and the aura of the solar system, is described
as a son of the Sun. Saturn is another child of Sun. Yama is
