The SUN was worshipped by most ancient cultures as the giver of life. Solar energy is radiant and glowing, it is the archetypal masculine expression. The SUN feeds and nurtures our planet on every level, without it there would be no life at all. The SUN is the center of our solar system and the astrological placement of the SUN is the framework of the personality. When someone says, “I am an Aries,” they are really saying that the SUN was in Aries when they were born. The SUN defers its energy to the ruler of whatever sign a person is born under. In the case of the Aries individual that would be Mars. Because of this the placement of Mars in the Aries Natal Chart, will give greater insight to the expression of the energy of the SUN, which is the ego of the personality. Only one sign is naturally ruled by the SUN, that is Leo. What this means is that Leos radiate strong personalities. They are naturally able to express themselves, and gain followers. The SUN is necessary for survival, similarly Leos must share their abundant energy with others in order to keep social interaction moving. All Leos must deal with the gifts and responsibilities inherent in being the one in the limelight, getting attention. They are easily compared to the ‘king of beasts-the Lion’ which is the Leo symbol. The Leo has charisma, swagger and can easily take center stage. They are often to be found at the center of the party. Usually Leos are affectionate and generous. The down side of Leo is that they can be egotistical, and truly believe that others should pay homage to their ‘Kingliness.’ Depending on the relationship between the SUN and other parts of the Natal Chart the expression of the Leo ego will either be smooth and fun, or over-developed and arrogant. Leos do have a tendency to be opinionated and controlling, at times they can’t help but feel that they know everything, and they rarely resist telling you all about it. In some cases however, the Leo ego is almost completely invisible, and you find a very shy Leo. This would be indicated by more complex elements of the Natal Chart.

SUN sign Astrology is the most common and general form of Astrology. It can give a broad overview of personality types and general characteristics, but it is only one aspect of a person’s character. Astrology uses all of the planets in the solar system and several mathematical points in order to give very detailed information about personality, events and influences. This is called a Natal Chart. If you would like more information about the karmic imprint you came into this life with you should have a Natal Chart Interpretation.
