What is Sun in Astrology?Meaning & Symbolism
Pronunciation:
The Sun is the most vital point in a birth chart, representing your core identity, ego, and the conscious 'I' that directs your life. It symbolizes your fundamental personality and your primary source of vitality.
The Symbolism of Sun
In the solar system of the psyche, the Sun is the central star. While other planets represent specific functions (how we think, love, or act), the Sun represents the 'Being' itself. It is the archetype of the Hero, embarking on a lifelong journey to integrate all parts of the self. As the ruler of Leo, the Sun governs our creative spark, our sense of pride, and our ability to lead. In astrology, the position of the Sun at birth indicates your Sun Sign—the primary lens through which you view your purpose and the light you are meant to radiate into the world.
