How strong is Sun here?

Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) follow the angular houses and are about building, sustaining and securing what has been started. Astrologers read planets here as working steadily, with results that show over time.

The 5th house corresponds to Leo, ruled by Sun. Modern astrologers often see this as a natural fit, because Sun rules Leo. Traditional astrology judges a planet's strength differently, by its dignity in the sign it occupies and by which house it takes its "joy" in.

House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 5th house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
