Boss is one of the toughest entities that anyone can come across. He/she is someone who actually exercises complete authority over your professional tendencies. The startling fact is that everyone feels helpless in front of him/her. Let us try to figure out this situation astrologically and seek redemption.
It is well understood that not everyone can be his/her own boss. So servitude is the mother of all bosses. Interestingly Sun represents “boss” in Astrology. Broadly, Sun represents anyone in authority who has the right to take decisions for/against you. Going by this principle we know that Sun represents Father and Government in Astrology.
It is very much likely that someone with afflicted Sun may not have the best of relations with his/her boss. Affliction here may mean anyone of the following
Debilitated Sun (i.e. Sun in Libra)
Sun occupying same house as Saturn or both aspecting each other or Saturn aspecting Sun
Sun afflicted with Rahu
Sun inherently weak in the Varga charts
It may be noted here that it is a possibility that the affliction of Sun may lead to problems from the boss but it does not mean that if two people have afflicted Sun then both of them are bound to have trouble from their boss. One may have problems from his boss and yet another one may not have cordial relations with his father (Sun represents father too). So each horoscope has to be taken on a case by case basis.
When Sun is afflicted in the horoscope then it is also important to understand the placement and temperament of Saturn. Saturn signifies servitude in Astrology. If Sun defines what kind of relationship you are likely to have with your boss then Saturn defines the tendencies to gain employment your life. A well placed and inherently strong Saturn promises opportunities to gain employment in life. Both these planets have conflicting tendencies yet both govern the employment related prospects in everyone’s life.
Individuals with well placed Sun tend to enjoy their professional lives much better as compared to others. Favors, permissions, approvals etc appear like a piece of cake for them. Yet individuals with well placed Saturn find it easy to switch jobs and gain elevation with each successive job.
A thorough understanding of these two planets helps in understanding the quality of professional life that an individual is likely to experience in his/her life.
