The Giver of Life

The sun is who it is that we think we are, the Ego, and source of all physical consciousness. The sun shows our vital energies, the Will, temperament and personal characteristics. It is where we 'shine'. It shows what we have brought forth from previous lifetimes and expresses through the personality. It symbolizes the internal and external Father figure and rules the sign of Leo.

In aspect with other planets it brings awareness, vitality and energy, but mostly draws the nature of those other planets toward itself rather than affecting outward.

In a transiting or predictive chart, the moving Sun brings us the big spotlight of life. It shows what will come to the light and be known, what will receive our attention and life force energies.
