The Sun
Ruler of Leo

The Sun, without which life on Earth could not exist as we know it, is the astrological metaphor which symbolizes an individual's basic personality, the underlying canvas upon which all the other colors and elements of his character are co-mingled and combined. The Sun and its meaning are the centerpiece in the structure of Astrology.

Symbol of Your Essential Self

The Energy of the Sun

The Sun symbolizes your basic personality. The Zodiac sign it is in describes the "essential qualities" of your character. This sign is also the easiest one to find. You probably already know it. It's what you mean when you tell someone "I'm an Aries," or "I'm a Capricorn," or "I'm a Pisces."

The House of the Rising Sun

The horoscope is divided into twelve different sections called houses ... which represent the twelve major divisions of life interest and experience. The house in your Natal Chart which contains the Sun shows the area of life and the kind of concerns where you want attention -- and where you pay a lot of attention, where you want to be noticed, where you want to be considered important. It is the most important area of life to you. It's where you want to be proud of yourself and what you do. It describes what makes you feel alive, where you want to shine ... and what you consider your real reason for living.

In a Horoscope, It Defines Your Character

Why Sun Sign Astrology
Sometimes Misses the Mark
And why critics say Astrology doesn't work

Some people think Astrology begins and ends with a Sun Sign description of your personality -- a list of qualities, characteristics, and possible short-comings that may seem assigned to you essentially at random based on the day you were born -- a day when, of course, the Sun was traveling through a certain, often easily-determined, sign of the Zodiac. That then becomes your Sun Sign -- and dime-store astrology seems to imply you're stuck with it.

Your Sun Sign
What is it ... and why is it important?

In Astrology, the Sun represents your basic personality, the central cluster of traits and interests, strengths and personal issues that color and influence the various other parts of your character -- the inner selves and different roles described by the nine other planets in your horoscope. The Sun is an important component in Astrology, but as you see ... it is only one player among many.

The Major Players in Astrology

This astrological symbol describes the qualities of your central ego, your individual self-expression, and your personal identity. Astrologers consider that your Sun sign describes your core personality ... and many will say it is the most important sign you have, although that's not entirely correct.

Eclipses

In ancient times, eclipses were viewed with fear and wariness -- since they were imperfectly understood But even today, when we fully understand the cause of eclipses ... and can predict their appearances years in advance, there's still a definite ambivalence -- even among astrologers -- about this peculiar, visually stunning astronomical phenomenon.

The Inner Self of the Sun

Arguably, the most important of these Inner Selves is the member of your Inner Family represented by your Sun's position in your Natal Chart. This Inner Self is, of course, described by the qualities and traits associated with the sign the Sun was traveling through on the day and time you were born. These qualities get a lot of publicity in pop culture Astrology, and so the characteristics of the twelve Zodiac signs as they relate to the Sun -- as well as the other placements -- are fairly well known. This point and the qualities it describes in you are probably the ones you yourself know best.

The House the Sun Rules

The Sun does work and takes action in the house it occupies in order to support the interests of the house with Leo on the cusp. The Sun is said to "rule" that house. The analogy I draw to explain how this actually works is that of a person who goes to another state (or "out of town") to earn a living and send money "back home" to support his real interests, his home base, and the structures he wants to survive and flourish as his foundation and support system.

His Majesty -- the Sun
by Serenity Chappell

The Sun is perhaps the most rudimentary and reliable chronometer ... "measure or marker of time" ... we have. It is certainly the most obvious. It rises every morning ... and sets every evening. It has been doing so for millions of years. It will continue this rhythm past the time limits any human mind can imagine. It sets a schedule for the pace of life on earth ... and is a fundamental part of all life.

Where Is the Sunshine in YOUR Life?

The Sun's placement is an important describing factor in a person's character. It tells a lot about his essential personality. Best of all, it's usually easy to determine a person's Sun sign. All you have to know is his birthday. Unless that birthday falls "on the cusp" ... the point at which the Sun changes signs ... once you know the day someone was born you can put him in a category (sure, it's a very general category, but you gotta start someplace) ... and go from there.

The Sun / Leo Person

Sun / Leo energy can be seen in a number of different patterns or placements in a person's Natal Chart. All the following combinations give the powerful Sun / Leo energy of personal importance, self-image and confidence, willpower, ambition, and the desire to shine to anyone who owns them, but some are not obvious to the non-astrologer.

It's Elementary

The personalities of the Fire Signs -- Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius -- are indeed like the nature of fire itself. Dramatic, heated, passionate. Intense, active, vital, full of energy ... and quick-moving. Always on the go.

Acting from the Center of the Sun

Astrology is not about magic, or superstition or self-delusion. Essentially, Astrology is about symbolism ... knowing how to read the code of life that the patterns in the stars depict, not because the planets and other heavenly bodies Astrology uses in its language are in certain signs or locations per se, but because certain cycles of life's creation we have yet to fully understand -- and yet to really define any other way -- occur with a rhythm and regularity that coincides "accidentally," if you want to look at it that way, with the travels of the stars and planets through certain Zodiac positions in the sky.

It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.
