THE MEANING OF THE SUN
In astronomy, the Sun is the center of our Solar System around which other celestial bodies, including the Earth, orbit. The sun is the brightest star in the sky, a source of light and heat that allows the existence of life on Earth.
In mythology, there are countless deities representing the personification of the Sun, among the most famous are the Greek god Helios and the Roman god Apollo. These deities are worshiped, among other things, as protectors of life and creative power.
In astrology, the Sun represents our ego and personal expression. Each of us knows what “our” astrological sign is, however, the Sun doesn’t tell us that much about the actual personality, it speaks about the individual in a broader sense. It shows us what our personal calling is and how we can develop our highest potential. In addition, it also tells us how others see us, as our identity in the eyes of others is not based on a single interaction with us, but on the overall impression we make on them. The Sun also describes the influence of the father or father figures on us, as well as our general attitude towards authority and superiors.
CHARACTERISTICS
The Sun in our birth chart is an indicator of our creative abilities and personal expression. Its position tells us how confident an individual is, how they express themselves, how they "shine" and how successfully they use the energy of the Sun in their life. The astrological sign in which the Sun is located gives us a basic idea of how an individual is seen by other people, what role they play in society, and what they are best known for. The Sun in a strong position in the birth chart tells us that the individual is confident and proud of themselves, that they understand their life purpose and are able to fulfill it without major problems, doubts or hesitation. The Sun in a weak position tells us that the individual is insecure because they lack self-confidence and have no trust in their abilities. Because of this, they usually don't know what they want or what their life purpose is, so they are typically insecure, indecisive, and somewhat "lost" in pursuing their goals. Because they are unsure of their life purpose, they often change their mind, then change direction, and start again instead of persevering. Sometimes the individual tries to hide their insecurity by outwardly projecting excessive self-confidence, as well as selfishness, arrogance, and attention-seeking behavior.
The Sun is the significator of our vitality and physical constitution. The level of physical energy an individual has depends on the state of the Sun in their birth chart. A strong Sun means that the individual has vitality and is full of life. They are usually very optimistic and positive, as well as charismatic, and have a special spark. The individual knows how to "shine", has trust in their abilities, and is good at receiving compliments and admiration from others. A weak Sun in the chart means that the individual's life force is lacking, that they don't have the spark or the will to live. They may also be prone to pessimism and excessive worrying. Because they lack self-confidence, they don't have trust in their abilities and don't dare to "shine". They also find it difficult to receive admiration and respect from others.
The Sun also shows us how an individual perceives their father or the people who have a paternal role in their life. The condition of the Sun shows how much respect the individual has for their father and his advice as well as what their general attitude towards authority is. If the Sun is strong in the birth chart, this tells us that the father was a positive role model, that he supported and encouraged the individual’s personal expression and creativity, and as a result, the individual became confident and proud of themselves. If the Sun is weak, this tells us that the individual has not received the father’s support, which in turn affects their sense of self-worth and self-confidence. The individual, therefore, has difficulty expressing their own self and doesn't have trust in their abilities.
DISPOSITION
A positively expressed Sun gives self-confidence and dignity. The individual is creative and has a well-developed ability to express themselves. They know who they are and what they want, and they understand their life purpose. In addition, they are noble, warm, generous, and principled. When they act in accordance with their Sun, they are admired and respected because they are expressing their highest potential. The individual also has plenty of physical vitality and strength.
A negatively expressed Sun manifests itself as arrogance and excessive pride. The individual is selfish and pompous, always seeking the attention and admiration of other people. They can also be selfish, self-serving, arrogant, and cold towards other people. By projecting these qualities, the individual tries to hide their insecurity, which stems from the fact that they don't understand their life purpose. Typically, they have difficulties with expressing themselves and showing their genuine personality. Their physical vitality is weak.
