The Sun and Its Aspects

The Sun symbolizes the core of the personality: spirit, will, vocation, and creative potential—the qualities that form a person’s unique individuality. The Sun imbues life with meaning.

Among “solar types” we find heads of state, CEOs of international corporations, charismatic politicians, stage idols, and informal leaders. Even mafia godfathers can be included in this colorful company—everyone who is at the center of attention, who wields power and fame.
The regal planet embodies the image of the father and the masculine principle. Nevertheless, many modern women successfully realize their solar qualities, achieving success in politics, business, and the arts.

Professions connected with the Sun include teacher, philosopher, sculptor, gold miner, jeweler, biologist, hunter, and clergy.

The Lord of the Planets rules the Fifth House of the horoscope, where talents, various forms of creativity, and the energy of creation are concentrated. This is the realm of love, children, play, and risk-taking.

Physiologically, the Sun governs the heart, spine, circulatory system, pituitary gland, and spleen.

The Role of Solar Aspects in a Person’s Destiny

A Strong Sun and Positive Conjunctions

Conjunctions are exceptionally powerful aspects. The nature of their influence depends on the planets that come into close contact with the Sun.

This indicates longevity, excellent health, and domestic comfort. The native is distinguished by a strong character and ambition. They are endowed with immense energy to accomplish great life goals.

Professional activity is always highly valued by superiors. There is potential for a brilliant political career.

An Afflicted and Weak Sun

With a weak Sun, energy is insufficient. At the same time, negative character traits manifest intensely: passivity, indecisiveness, lack of principles, and an inability to find one’s place in life.

From childhood, the person is haunted by severe material hardship and conflicts with the father.

An afflicted Sun can indicate poor health and a short life.

A challenged Sun may direct energy and abilities toward disreputable pursuits. A talented nature may become an anti-hero.

Egocentrism appears. The person is convinced that the world should revolve around them.

The head of the family or a manager may often become a tyrant.

A weak Sun is not a sentence; there are specific actions and symbolic compensatory practices for addressing a problematic Sun. Read more…

Harmonious Aspects

They indicate a striving for constant spiritual development. The native has no difficulty with self-expression.

The person excels as an administrator. Raising children brings them joy and satisfaction. Inspiration often visits the creative type.

There is a strong need to love and be loved. A harmonious Sun is a symbol of personal happiness and a strong family.

Dangers

A passionate need for universal attention can turn into a habit of overshadowing, dominating, and ruling over others.

The Sun’s playful nature is prone to the risk of gambling addiction.

Challenging (Disharmonious) Aspects

With a strong Sun, problems and difficulties are associated with irrational use of one’s potential. The person attempts to tackle tasks beyond their capabilities.

With a weak Sun, on the other hand, insecurity and exhaustion set in.

For some, the collapse of plans is a stimulus for correcting mistakes. Others succumb to disappointment and give up.

Another manifestation of tension is excessive maximalism. The native perceives the world in an acutely polarized way. They do not acknowledge shades or nuances in relationships with others. Stubbornness prevents them from admitting their mistakes.

The Sun reflects both the virtues and flaws of human nature, as well as the inner conflicts that create obstacles to self-development.

It urges the person to illuminate the dark, unexplored corners of their own soul.
