Sun Sign Astrology
The Sun, a medium sized star, contains 99.9% of all the matter in our solar system and is the most powerful force in our astrology.
The Sun takes a year to journey through the twelve Signs of the Zodiac, spending about a month visiting each one. It is the “ruler” of Leo and the Fifth House. Masculine, hot and dry our star is a positive influence upon every astrological sign.
As the Sun puts forth light, so it brings forth life. This “Planet” (more accurately called a luminary) represents the self, one’s personality and ego, the spirit and what it is that makes the individual unique. It is our identity and our face to the world. The Sun also speaks to creative ability and the power of the individual to meet the challenges of everyday life.
One’s natural father, husbands and other male influences are ruled by the Sun, as are children. The Sun’s energy is a forceful one, and in its wake comes authority, the ability to lead and an individual’s essence, their core being. Through the will of this Planet, we learn to manifest ourselves in the world.
The Sun is majestic, and in keeping with its regal air, it rules royalty and higher office. This orb also lords over our health and well-being. The Sun’s golden glow is a vital life force which imbues us with strength, energy and a will to succeed. It is the Sun which gives strength to the other Planets, which is why this planet occupies a key role in astrology.
Physically, the native of the Sun is very much like one born under Jupiter, but with lighter hair, redder complexion, fatter body, and larger eyes. When the Sun is well dignified, the native is affable, courteous, splendid and sumptuous, proud, liberal, humane, and ambitious. When it is ill dignified, the native is arrogant, mean, loquacious, and sycophantic, resembling the native under Jupiter when ill dignified, but even worse.
The Sun indicates that which is most seasonable and proper. The professions it governs include kings, lords and all dignified persons, braziers, goldsmiths and persons employed in mints. It rules over courts, palaces, theaters, halls and places of state.
