Sun The Astrology Planet
The Sun in a chart represents the psychological drive towards discovering your
individual conscious direction in life, and the aspects to the Sun, together
with the sign and house containing the Sun will indicate what sort of person
you would really like to become, and how easy or difficult it is likely to be
for you to realise your goals through conscious self-development.
The Sun is the source of life for the solar system. It represents the conscious mind, will, ego, vitality, leadership, power, and authority. It rules important people, royalty, nobility, the head of state, the government and the father. It signifies expressions of confidence such as sports, the theater, and romance. It stands for our genuine, authentic self, and our ability to radiate and shine. It rules the fifth sign, Leo, and the fifth house. Its cycle is equivalent to the Earth's year.
The Sun’s symbol is the circle of the eternal self that did not start here, nor will it finish here on Earth. At its center is the divine spark at the center of all living things, "the light which lighteth every man [and woman] whosoever cometh into this world." It is the point of light at the center of every living cell.
The Sun represents the universal life force present in each of us as a divine spark. It symbolizes consciousness, the will, power, vitality, the masculine yang principle of action, the basic drive for significance, psychic and physical energy, stamina, our source of power and strength, the experience of being fathered, rulers and authority figures, gurus, heroes and older people, Shiva, integrity and individuality. In the physical body it rules the heart, spinal cord and thymus gland.
Through the Sun we become whole and unified. By our conscious awareness and the exercise of our will (the Sun), all of our other personality functions (the planets) become integrated.
In female charts the Sun represents the men in their lives, particularly the husband, and in both sexes the father or father-image. The Sun rules Leo, and the spine, heart, and circulatory system in the body. Our erect spine represents courage and the will to be an individual, and our heart holds our love.
The Sun, its planets, asteroids, comets, and other gravitationally held bodies are collectively known as the solar system (literally, the system of "Sol," Roman god of the Sun and similar to the Greek god Helios). In Scandinavia, she was also know as Sol, or Glory-of-Elves. The ancient Viking poems prophesy that on doomsday the Sun will bear a daughter who will be the new Sun, the luminous world to come.
