Sun rules no nakshatra inside Scorpio, so it can only act here as a sub-lord (or as the sign-level dispositor).
The narrowest Sun sub-lord slice in Scorpio is 0.67° wide, about 3 minutes of Ascendant motion; the widest is 0.67° (≈3 min). The Ascendant moves roughly 1° per 4 minutes on average, so a few minutes of birth-time error can change the sub-lord.
