In numerology, anyone born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th of any month falls under root number 1, and the ruling planet for this number is the Sun. Since Sunday is traditionally linked to the Sun, this day is considered especially auspicious for people with root number 1. Astrology holds that if these individuals follow a few specific rituals on Sundays, the Sun's placement in their birth chart grows stronger.
Why worshipping the Sun matters so much
For people with root number 1, worshipping the Sun god is believed to hold particular significance, and Sunday is considered the best day for it since the day itself is dedicated to the Sun. Practicing these rituals on this day is said to boost self confidence, enhance one's respect and reputation in society, and bring more positive energy into life.
The right way to offer water and arghya
People with root number 1 are advised to offer water to the Sun god regularly, but this practice should never be skipped on a Sunday. After bathing in the morning, water should be poured into a copper vessel, mixed with red flowers, roli and unbroken rice known as akshat, and then offered to the Sun as arghya. While doing this, chanting the mantra Om Suryaya Namah is considered essential, as it is believed to strengthen the auspicious influence of the Sun.
Respecting elders also strengthens the Sun
Another important ritual is showing respect to elders and seeking blessings from one's parents. It is believed that doing so gradually strengthens the Sun's position in the birth chart and helps remove several obstacles that come up in life.
Donating on Sunday is considered auspicious
People with root number 1 are also advised to donate something on Sundays. Donating copper, masoor dal, also known as red lentils, or red cloth on this day is said to be particularly beneficial, with the belief that it further strengthens the Sun's position.
Fasting or eating salt free food helps too
Where possible, observing a fast on Sunday is recommended. Those who cannot fast should try to eat at least one meal without salt during the day. Consuming sweets on this day is also considered auspicious.
Reciting the Aditya Hridaya Stotra brings benefits
Reciting the Aditya Hridaya Stotra on Sundays is also considered beneficial for people with root number 1. It is believed to boost confidence while gradually clearing away obstacles in life.
