Everyone knows that the Sun is the biggest star in our solar system, but how many people know the importance of its role in the astrology world? As a symbol of both life and warmth, the Sun is the reason we have zodiac signs, and, it's its position at the moment of your birth determines which sign you are a native of. Here’s everything you need to know about this important star and how it impacts astrology!
This "luminary" is the essential element in astrology. In a native’s natal chart, it is analyzed first, along with the rising sign. The Sun represents us, although it mainly symbolizes what we show to others, our "social self," while the Ascendant represents the "inner self."
It is our willpower, our vitality. The sign where the Sun is located is what we call our zodiac sign. (For example: Sun in Libra, the individual’s zodiac sign is Libra.)
For men, the Sun represents them, while for women, the Sun indicates their masculine side, but it can also represent their husband. For all natives, the Sun is our consciousness, and it can also represent the father or a superior.

Depending on the astrological house where it is located, the Sun will have a different impact.
The Sun, a bright and warm star, is located here in the House of "self." It gives you a certain radiance, confidence in yourself, your potential, and your values. You need independence, yet at the same time, you seek admiration and often approval from others. You hate going unnoticed, even if it means imposing yourself at times. With good vitality, you enjoy taking initiative. On the negative side, this planetary position can lead to egocentrism and authoritarianism.
The Sun here in the House of possessions and assets indicates that you have something to accomplish in this area during your life. Finances and acquisitions (both yours and others’) are sectors that interest you greatly, and you can be very determined in business. You handle financial fluctuations worse than others. Your mood and sometimes your health depend on it. Above all, you have a great need for security.
The Sun in the House of siblings, communication, writing, and travel gives you an innate sense of communication. You enjoy playing a social role, establishing and managing numerous contacts, and expanding your intellectual knowledge... You willingly guide and advise your siblings (but try not to be too controlling!). Your ease of expression can make you a spokesperson for a group.
The Sun in the House of home, family, and roots suggests that this is where you thrive the most. You enjoy playing the role of head of the family, even if it means being a bit dominant. You need to build your own home, creating your household based on what you experienced in your family of origin (either by imitation or opposition). Furthermore, you are rather traditional and home-loving. You often look back with nostalgia, unless you are passionate about history and origins...
The Sun in the House of love, pleasures, vitality, and children gives you enviable energy and charisma. You are an epicurean, generous, and extremely creative. People often appreciate your zest for life. You need to fulfill yourself through love, children (your own or through teaching, etc.), or artistic creations. Leisure activities and sports are also areas where you can thrive.
The Sun in the House of health, daily life, and work gives you an excellent sense of detail, organization, and precision. Conscientious, you leave nothing to chance, even if it sometimes limits you... You need to feel useful. Attentive to your health, you know how to manage your energy. Professions related to well-being, or medicine suit you perfectly. Routine doesn’t scare you; on the contrary, it reassures you. Your flaw is sometimes lacking self-confidence or letting yourself be overwhelmed by others’ problems.
The Sun in the House of others and partnerships encourages you to collaborate with others, to form partnerships, work in teams, etc. You need to feel accepted by others, and at the same time, you feel the need to contribute something to them... You need a rich and varied social life. Often, your energy and natural authority attract goodwill. For some natives, their happiness depends entirely on their partner or marriage.
The Sun in the House of taboos, death, the occult, sexuality, experiences, and the unconscious gives you a passionate but demanding temperament, strong magnetism, great psychic abilities (psychology, mediumship...), and obvious charisma. Beyond your profession, which may be related to these sectors, you are not afraid of questioning yourself. You must accept that your path will be tumultuous (on one hand, it’s exhausting, but on the other, you won’t be bored, and you evolve at each stage). You may be forced to leave your place of origin, lose possessions, or choose to experience material or emotional deprivation to start fresh. Your vitality constantly regenerates despite challenges.
The Sun in the House of foreign lands, higher education, philosophy, justice, etc., pushes you to broaden your horizons and thrive in these areas. You might often travel, live abroad, or work with a country different from your birthplace. You are interested in cultures, customs, and traditions different from your own. Optimistic and benevolent, you enjoy bringing people together and working towards harmony among nations. You may also be passionate about intellectual journeys (meditation, philosophical or spiritual readings, etc.).
The Sun in the House of career and professional destiny gives you great ambition. You seek financial independence early on. You like to shine, to have prestige, and you are willing to give a lot of yourself to achieve it. This Sun position is often found in leaders. Even if social success is not guaranteed, there is a strong desire in the native to stand out. The Sun in the 10th House can also represent a father or husband with a very strong personality.
The Sun in the House of protections, friendships, and ideals makes you a loyal person for whom friendship is important. Even though you are quite independent by nature, you have a sense of community. In your leisure activities or profession, you may be involved in groups, associations, or networks that bring people together for various activities. Often forward-looking, you enjoy building grand projects.
The Sun is in the House of the "inner self" and limitations. While the Sun in the 10th or 1st House seeks the spotlight, the Sun in the 12th avoids it or hides... It can achieve great things but in the shadows. It can also go astray. It all depends on the chart. In any case, this Sun position makes you wary of concepts like social recognition and morality... You seek authentic values, which leads you to withdraw, finding moments of solitude that regenerate you and help you reflect. Investigations and mysteries fascinate you. This Sun position may call you to a religious vocation, or work in hospitals or prisons may also be represented here. Your rich inner life and strong spirituality make you very resilient in the face of challenges. Sacrifices or renunciations don’t scare you either.
The Sun: The Star of the Solar System
The Sun is not a unique star in the Universe; it is a star like many others. It is also called a luminary, like the Moon. We can study it in detail because it is close to Earth. The Sun is a gigantic ball of gas with a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers, or 110 times the size of Earth. Its mass is about 2,000 billion billion billion kilograms, or 330,000 times that of Earth. About 75% of this mass is made up of hydrogen, 25% helium, and the rest consists of heavier elements. It is located approximately 149 million kilometers from Earth.
It is the center of our solar system, the source of life and universal consciousness. In Egypt, it is Atum (the creator god). In Greco-Roman mythology, it is Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto, and brother of Artemis. He is the god of light, with perfect beauty and noble character, the god of the arts, music, and divination. He carries a lyre (as an artist) and a bow, with arrows representing the Sun’s rays.
The most distant planet in our solar system from the Sun is Neptune (Pluto is no longer considered the last planet in the solar system).
