The Luminary of Life and Self
Ego, Basic Personality, and Vitality
The Sun represents the ego, individuality, the power of self, and conscious will. The sign that the Sun was transiting at the time of birth, known as the Sun sign, is the most pervasive influence in a birth (natal) chart. The Sun sign governs a person’s distinctive style and drive to fulfill his or her goals. It is your basic identity, your uniqueness, and who you are deep down. The Sun represents reason rather than instinct and shows who you are becoming.
The Sun shows how powerful you are in life and in what places and situations you light up. It reveals your creative ability and your capacity to meet the challenges of everyday life. It shows the types of experiences that contribute towards your sense of individuality and the areas of life you can be proud of.
The Sun holds domain over how you deal with authority and how you exhibit it as well. It has a vital life force that gives you the strength, will, and energy to succeed. The sign that the Sun is in shows your life purpose and how you leave your mark on the world.
