They both gave you the correct conclusion. Reciting it WILL embolden Surya. But, is it correct to do so? Is the question. If Surya owns 6th Bhaava or 12th Bhaava or 8th Bhaava or 3rd Bhaava or 11th Bhaava AND he's in the Raashi of Shanaischara or Raahu or has Drshti by them... then he is bound to do something bad.
So, what should you do? Assuming that the second Jyotishi is correct, in relation to Drshti and Raashi in particular (the ability to see and Raashis are owned by Surya and 12 Aadityas) in relation to Surya, what you need to do is - either stop chanting it and/or chant a Shaanti Mantra/Strotra/Japa, instead.
A Stotra is not harmless, and it cannot be applied randomly. There's no panacea, especially as far as Navagrahas go. If you exalt a negative graha, you will suffer, and if you demote a positive one, you will also suffer.
The Aaditya Hrdaya is for for Karka Lagna (and Raashi) individuals. Shri Raama had Karka Lagna with Chandra in Lagna, while Surya was in Uccha (exalted) position in Mesha (Aries) Raashi in 10th Bhaava (already in a great situation).
Most people get this wrong, but believe it or not, the Aaditya Hrdaya is not for Surya at all, primarily. It is first and foremost for the Karka Raashi. Presumably, stotras like Aaditya jaanu or kroda or pada etc existed (for other Raashis) but since they weren't in the Raamaayana (as it wasn't applicable to Shri Raama), they haven't survived.
If you look at the meaning of the stotra, then you will figure this out pretty quickly. One factor is the name itself (hrdaya), naturally. Another factor is mention of Varuna (ApaamPati or similar names), 3 times at least (as opposed to Bhaga or Dhaataa or Vidhaata or Pushaa or Indra etc Aadityaas). And, most importantly, the first section itself:
तत युद्धपरश्रन्तं समरे चन्तय स्थतम् रवणं चग्रत दृष्ट्व युद्धय समुपस्थतम् १
Why is it three times? It is 3 times specifically because Brhaspati (number 3, within vedic numer'ology') is in the Lagna. So, the Chandra is being supported via two fronts, by chanting it thrice. I won't go into more details.
There's far far more nuance here and each person's Chakra is definitely unique and needs to be considered separately, but these general guidelines will keep you out of the vast majority of trouble that you may gain by chanting.
I'd like to point out that Surya and Aaditya are DIFFERENT, Surya is the Graha, as in the physical object, Aaditya is the Deva (or assimilation of 12 Devas) that rules the 12 Raashis. This is the Hrdaya (or fourth part/heart) of Aaditya, Surya DOES NOT have 12 Parts. The 12 parts of THE Aaditya manifest from Surya in the 12 months. Hopefully that is clear.
Also, in case you're wondering, the only reason the other Aadityas (and even unrelated entities like Pitrs) are mentioned is for the sake of receiving the power from Surya Naraaayana (who can half-correctly assumed to be an amalgamation of the 12). The Raashis are ruled by him altogether. So, different parts of him, are appealed to, going beyond just the 12 Aadityas. That's why the text, at one point mentions Brahmaa Vishnu and Shiva as being 'him'. That 'him' is Surya Naraayana. Beyond the 12 Aadityas and beyond the Graha, but also connected to them in a way.
then he is completely ignorant about our sanatana dharma. We are living thanks to the divine grace of Bhagawan surya(Aditya). He is the reason why birth, death and sustenance of life is happening on earth. So, of-course one should chant Aditya Hridayam regardless of raasi or nakshatra which they were born in.
English translation:Indeed, He is the very embodiment of all Gods. He is self-luminous and a reflector of all the rays.He nourishes and energises the inhabitants of all the worlds as well as the host of Gods and demons by his rays.

Our culture has given prime importance to worship of the Sun through the practice of Sandhyavandana, the ritual to be performed by all Dvijas (wearers of the sacred thread, lit. twice-born) everyday during sunrise, noon and sunset, where our prayers are offered to the Lord Surya through the chanting of the Gayatri Mantra, the sacred hymn to the (brilliance of the) Sun God, revealed in the Rig Veda (Rig Veda 3.62.10).
During the final between Rama and Ravana in Ramayana. Rama has used all kinds of weapons and missiles against Ravana, but in vain. The overlord of the Rakshasas seems invincible. Rama, currently a normal human being (and not the all-powerful Lord Vishnu), is tormented by fatigue, both mentally and physically. He glances at his enemy, who is ready for battle, and worry crosses his brow.
At this juncture, as the gods look on from the sky, the sage Agastya appears in front of Rama and, with the aim of rejuvenating Rama and hastening the outcome of the battle, teaches this prayer to Lord Surya, and disappears soon afterward. Rama receives the prayer from Agastya, and becomes energized upon reciting it. He lifts his bow and prepares for the final confrontation.
As mentioned earlier, this is a work of 31 slokas, out of which the first 30 are set in the popular 32-syllabled meter, the Anushtup Chandas. The text has a unique flow, with a distinctive structure, where the slokas are structured as follows:
The great sage of Kanchi, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati (1894-1994), the 68th Pontiff of the Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt, prescribed Aditya Hridayam as a text with great Mantra Shakti. Regular recitation of it is sure to grant sound health, longevity, dispelling of miseries and peace of mind, as indicated by Rishi Agastya in the Phalashruti.
This stotram contains a beautiful praise of Lord Surya, describing him as the cause of the creation, sustenance and eventual dissolution of this earth. Rishi Agastya devotes 13 slokas out of 31 to the praise of Surya (out of which 3 slokas occur after the recitation of the actual hymn).
Lord Surya is primarily described as the Overlord of the World, who nourishes and protects the world through his various duties. He is described as the Glorious One with infinite rays, who is worshipped by all, including the eternal enemies, the devas (gods) and the asuras (the enemies of the gods). He is the embodiment of all divinities (Sarva Devatmakah) such as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Skanda, the eight guardians of the world, and so on. Such praise of Surya is a reflection of the Vedic maxim:
Correction in 24
Should begin with Vedaas-cha not Devaas-cha
देवश्च क्रतवश्चैव क्रतूनं फलमेव च
यन कृत्यन लकेषु सर्वेषु परमप्रभु२४
वेदश्च क्रतवश्चैव क्रतूनं फलमेव च
यन कृत्यन लकेषु सर्व एष रव प्रभु २४
Rama was very pessimistic and doubted if he could unite with Sita again. At this point Sage Agastya decided to initiate, Aditya Hrudayam Stotram to Sri Rama to cultivate optimism in him and to remove all his self-doubts. It is said that after learning this stotra from Agastya, Rama received the wholesome blessings from Surya Deva and acquired the determination to fight with Ravana.

It is extremely powerful and thus should be placed in the hands of a trusted and experienced pandit. Our online puja service invites divine blessings to overcome challenges and enemies.
The holy verses in the HridayamStotra have found a place in the Yuddha Kanda of Ramayana, written by the famous sage Valmiki. Speaking about its historical significance, this stotra was recited to Ram by sage Agastya before encountering Ravana in a duel. Before the fateful occurrence, Lord Ram spent restless days and nights out of sheer worry for Sita, his treasured wife, who Ravana kidnapped. Thus, it became evident that Ram needed to calm down and achieve peace of mind to face Ravana and overpower him. This is why the AdityaHridayamStotra was recited to him.
