Your
Sun, in astrology, is a living symbol of your core self, along with your
identity and your inner light. The Sun placement is where your confidence is
born. It is the radiance of your chart.
Your
Sun sign tells only part of your story but is still a key part of the birth
chart which helps you to understand your true nature. The Sun’s placements and
aspects, along with its strength within your birth chart, reveals how your
life’s purpose and your vitality, along with the expression of your will,
unfold. In a birth chart reading, we can uncover how your life force
and purpose, symbolized by the Sun, truly express themselves.
The Sun beyond the zodiac sign
When
a client sits with me for a consultation, I explain that the Sun in astrology
is a living symbol of their essence. It includes their vitality, their identity
and their personal will. It is the why behind what motivates them. To fully
understand the Sun, however, we look at other factors besides it’s sign. The
Sun’s house position tells us where in life your light wants to shine, and its
aspects reveal how easily or challengingly that light expresses itself. When
your Sun is fully engaged, life often feels aligned. When it is blocked, you
may feel stuck or disconnected.
The dynamics of the Sun-Moon relationship
The
Sun and Moon in astrology are like two sides of your inner world - conscious
will and emotional needs. The Sun represents your outer expression. The Moon
reflects your inner rhythms. When they flow harmoniously, you feel emotionally
aligned with your goals. When they clash, inner conflict can surface. The
Sun-Moon interplay is a revealing layer of a chart.
Why the Sun is called the “Soul” of the chart
Astrologers
often describe the Sun as the soul of the natal chart. Your Sun reflects your
core intention - the life themes you are meant to explore and embody. The Moon
changes every 2.5 days. The steady journey of the Sun through the zodiac
represents constancy and growth.
A
May 2025 report from the Pew Research Center found that 30% of U.S. adults
consult astrologers or tarot card readers at least once a year.
