Sun in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra
The Sun in Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra gives the Sun a more specific tone than sign alone. Uttara Ashadha is ruled by Sun, symbolized by elephant's tusk, meaning "Latter Invincible One", and it can color the planet with themes like becomes deeply involved in any task, blunt and frank about telling the truth without filtering for others, can be lazy if they're not interested in something, and can be sharp or cutting like the elephant tusk symbol. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Sun or Uttara Ashadha.
