For thousands of years, people all over the world have been enchanted by the great theater that is our sky. We watch in awe of the majesty of the stars.

To me, knowing that this sky is the same one you peer up into wherever you stand on Earth is humbling. But then also realizing that it`s the same sky that billions of people have also watched throughout time — now that is something truly beautiful to comprehend.

Note: When interpreting your chart, you will be particularly interested in both the Sun`s sign and the Sun`s house. For example, someone may have the Sun in Aries in the 2nd house, and if so, they would read both the interpretation for the Sun in Aries and the interpretation of the Sun in the second house. Another person may have the Sun in Aries in the 8th house and would read interpretations of the Sun in Aries and the Sun in the eighth house. While these two individuals share a Sun sign, they express their Aries Sun in different ways.

Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our ego. It is also our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” that reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun is our basic identity, representing self-realization.

When you are asked, “Who are you?,” and you`ve passed your basic statistics and occupation, your answers will likely embody a description of your Sun. The Sun also represents our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.

The Sun (Sun) is so important in the chart, that the happiest people on this earth are those who identify (without over-identifying) with the Sun`s expression. Though one might think that the traits of their Sun would come easily to them, the truth is, the Sun shows what we are learning to be. It is very important to remember that the Sun represents reason as opposed to instinct.

Grant Lewi referred to the Sun as indicative of “the psychological bias which will dominate your actions.” He went on to say, “You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets: but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations.” (1)

When we are “acting out” our Sun, we are purposeful, directed, proud, and creative. On the negative side, we can be haughty, overly willful, self-centered, and judgmental.

In the chart, the position of the Sun by zodiac sign represents the native`s life purpose and the style in which they leave their mark in the world.
