The Sun (Surya) represents the government, kingly authority, and power. Jupiter (Guru) represents wisdom, respect, and high prestige. When these two planets are strong and connect with the 10th House, they create powerful Rajyogas for top-tier government and administrative roles.

Today is Somvati Amavasya (सोमवती अमावस्या) and the final day of Adhik Maas (अधिक मास).
