Principle

The most characteristic feature of the Sun, which no other planet possesses, is the need and ability for self-expression and individual creativity, independent of external causes or circumstances. The Sun is the creator of everything on Earth. Creativity is the very principle of the Sun.

Function

All creativity requires manifestation, and one of the essential qualities of the Sun is the need to be—and to be an individual, distinct from all other living beings—the need for external expression. Consequently, the function of the Sun is the creative realization of individuality.

Role

Traditionally, the Sun is considered the center and source of life, the foundation of wholeness, a symbol of inspiration, an active and radiant planet of outward manifestation. Therefore, it is associated with the need and intention for the creative realization of the individual. In this sense, the role of the Sun is to serve as the primary creative impulse for individual manifestation.

Significator of Organs and Diseases

The Sun signifies vital processes within the body. It governs a native’s energy potential and may indicate predisposition to heart disease, circulatory disorders, fainting, and visual impairment. The Sun is also associated with the spinal cord and the anterior pituitary gland.

Huber Classification

The most common challenges related to the Sun in the natal chart involve difficulties with self-awareness, self-control, goal setting and achievement, independence and autonomy, objectivity, and self-improvement.

General Characteristics

The Sun is the most important luminary and the central focus of the life force. It determines the native’s health and well-being, conveying creative impulses and ideals—such as the urge for power, influence, and authority. The negative manifestations of the Sun are seen in egocentrism, disregard for the interests of others, and unhealthy pride.

Just as all the planets in the Solar System revolve around the Sun, a person derives their sense of life purpose from the Sun in the natal chart. The Sun represents the ego, the “inner child” who makes final decisions. It serves as a guiding force and can be considered the “boss” of the natal chart, especially for men.

The position of this primary luminary in the horoscope plays a crucial role. The happiest people in the world are often those whose Sun is not afflicted by tense aspects. At the same time, it might be thought that such natives have “softer” character traits, as it is through the Sun that one develops and educates the ego, strengthening the backbone of life. It is important to remember that the Sun represents inner intelligence and conscious will, rather than instinct.

As for the other nocturnal luminary—the Moon—the Sun always reflects the present, while the Moon brings the past into the native’s life through feelings and emotions.

The Sun expresses a psychological orientation that goes beyond mere actions. A native may think, dream, and imagine feelings and images in accordance with the Moon and other planets in the natal chart. However, the Sun represents who the native truly is in the physical world; it signifies the sum of their actual actions, deeds, and social position.

The Sun governs all illumination, as well as social recognition and self-esteem, shining a light on who the native truly is. It also clarifies the qualities of any planet it aspects, revealing and amplifying that planet’s influence. For example, if the Sun and Jupiter form a favorable aspect, the benevolence and positive attributes of Jupiter will shine under the nurturing light of the Sun. The power of Jupiter, if not raising the native to “Olympus,” will at least significantly advance them on the social ladder.

The symbol of the Sun has been known since ancient times and stands for “individuation.” The Sun represents the archetype of the hero, whose story can be read as that of a mythological figure who must overcome all difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way—challenges represented by the planets forming tense aspects to the Sun in the natal chart.

Strong Sun

The desire to be significant is the main driving force for the native. It is important for the person to dominate their environment and circumstances. Most of the native’s energy is spent on pursuits that can bring respect and admiration, and this often becomes the main criterion when deciding whether to take a particular action.

Some natives demand respect from others, while others are satisfied with self-respect; most prefer a harmonious balance of both. Temperament and ability will be the factors that secure the desired position.

Such a native is active and enterprising, often becoming involved in various situations (consciously) even without intending to.

Harmonious Sun

The native enjoys constant luck and protection, a calm disposition, and considerable charm. There may be a tendency towards laziness and self-deception, as well as a passive form of deceiving others (by being unwilling to dispel false impressions).

Weak Sun

The native shows a lack of initiative and an unwillingness to stand out or attract attention.

Afflicted Sun

The native may experience blows of fate and an inability to realize their will harmoniously. It is important for the person to be proactive, while also remaining attentive and cautious regarding what is happening both within themselves and in the external world.

Severely Afflicted Sun

Vanity, egocentrism, and a desire to impose one’s opinions on others become pronounced.  ✓
