I have had this issue for many years but never bothered to ask about it till I said to myself I should ask on the forums.
Why is it when it's sunny outside and bright. My visualization improves and seems better per say(not hugely better but better)?
While when the it is cloudy outside my visualization drops almost to a greyish tone of visualization?
I guess what I'm trying to say is why specifically is my visualization dictated by light? Shouldn't it be the opposite that in a dark room such as my bedroom with the lights off I would meditate better rather than having the sunlight entering the room brightening up my mental space?

Intro
You are progressing, but you are giving up too soon to notice a difference. It is the same thing as when someone goes to the gym. After some months, you suddenly look in the mirror and notice the definition.
Different from physical training, your spiritual advancement is exponential, because you continually reinvest your power into yourself, over and over. So really, it is just the beginning that is the crucial period in which you must be disciplined.
-------------
Fake or real effort
Put simply, even if you put even a low level of thought into an activity (like cleaning), you are making progress. This is due to the nature of our reality. This is how people can achieve results from affirmations alone, let alone raising massive amounts of energy.
Like a lucid dream, what you think immediately starts to take shape. Even if you put only 4 focused seconds of time into cleaning the chakra, then that is still better than nothing. As you gain in power, you will be able to notice the difference that can occur even in a short period of time.
-------------
Visualization improvement
In regards to your visualization, working directly on your third eye and 6th chakra will improve this. You can clean and spin those chakras as the first part of your routine. You can chant Sowilo or Thaum into the 3rd eye, then affirm it is empowered in a positive way. Lastly, make sure you spend a few minutes actively looking through it, trying to sense your astral surroundings.
As far as the lighting of your environment, this is simply assisting your mind to visualize white-gold. Continue if it makes things easier for you. There is no problem with this.
Another action that will help you is to simply use more energy. It is easier to sense the energy if there is more of it. Therefore, when you are cleaning, do more of what you normally do. This can mean chanting Sowilo/Surya more or directly onto the chakra or breathing in more white-gold energy.
-------------
Function of visualization
As mentioned above, focus on using your will and intent. Don't place as much emphasis on just visualizing alone. Visualizing is a tool that helps you focus your will, but it is not a substitute for it.
Remind yourself not to doubt yourself. Even if you cannot sense the changes very well, they are still happening to a certain degree. Imagine you are almost "pushing" from your solar chakra. It helps to also work on this chakra beforehand, as well.
The same way you can will your hands to move is the same way you can will energy with your soul.
Instead of worrying about what you can sense, practice holding the thought of your action, like "my chakra is spinning faster and becoming empowered", or "this energy is cleaning my chakra".
----------------------------------------------------
Stilling your thoughts + Yoga
Your mind is very active, so void may be harder for you. However, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, continue to practice void without doubting your abilities. Anything you do in life improves as you practice, no matter your current state. As you continue your practice, you will get better.
As you advance more, you can turn around and use runes like Isa and Nauthiz to rapidly increase your ability to hold your thoughts still. Eihwaz and Sowilo will also help your willpower. So understand that there are solutions available, but you must be patient. You are probably closer than you realize.
Do not worry about poor trance or void abilities. These do not invalidate your efforts.
I must also suggest for you place more emphasis on yoga, which will improve your power without any doubts about your mental abilities. The hatha yoga routine is not hard and can be done by a beginner. Similar to the other meditations, it also does not have to be done perfectly for results.
Try the
hatha yoga routine and do 1 minute for the "long" poses, and 20-30 seconds for the short poses. If you are not doing this already, this will definitely help you gain power quickly.
-------------
Chakra focus
Working on just one chakra is not bad, but you should find time to do more where possible. The more you do, the better, as a beginner, as this will help you get a feel for your soul's abilities.
Yet, you can place more effort on chakras that you know need work. Working on stronger chakras is not going to immediately imbalance you, either, especially if you are doing what you already mention: invoking programmed earth.
Have you begun the
chakra openings? You should start and finish this. For the chakras that do not list a set amount of days, just pick what you feel comfortable with. If you need lower chakra work, do more, yet be careful not to overstimulate yourself.
In regards to other activities which help ground the body, physical activities help a lot. Of course, they are the most "grounded" means to advance yourself, since you are directly using your body. In addition, yin-style yoga, like hatha yoga, is even more able to ground and calm you. So you should really do that.
I hope I answered all your questions. You are doing fine, keep up the good work!
