Celebrated and glorified for millennia, the Sun has a distinct mythical meaning and has become the inspiration for Astrology.
In all cultures, the Sun has a symbolism that suggests life, perpetual fertility, and creation of life. Celebrated and glorified for millennia, the Sun has a distinct mythical meaning and has become the inspiration for Astrology. For science, this star is just an incandescent sphere, source and support of the system of planets that orbit around it. Life on Earth is only possible thanks to the existence of the Sun and this has dictated its fundamental importance in numerous solar cults and in the ancient mythology of many Western and non-Western cultures.
“The glyph of the Sun symbolizes the Divine, the totality of the energy existing in the Cosmos. It represents the creative energy of the soul, the vital force, the spirit, the eternal, the infinite. It is the energy that holds together the different parts of the personality”.
In Greek myth, Helios, the Sun, descends from the Titans Hyperion and Tea. Later, Apollo assumed the attributes of Helios and became the main sun god of Olympus.
In ancient Egypt, Ra, the sun god, was the supreme creative deity, assuming different forms when he was born (Jepri, represented by a sacred scarab, rolling the ball of the sun across the horizon) and when he set ( Atum). He was also Horus, the falcon-headed god, later identified by the Greeks as Apollo.
The sun symbolizes truth and integrity: “ Know yourself ” is the motto in the sacred oracle of the god Apollo in Delphi, Greece.
In Astrology, the Sun, which is technically a star and not a planet, represents the life force, vitality and the need for self-expression of the “I” . It is the energy that unites the different parts of the personality. It represents the search for personal individuality, which is expressed through the sign where the Sun is placed in the birth chart .
The quality, polarity and element of the sign where the Sun is positioned are decisive for the way in which the “I” can be expressed. A) Yes:
The Sun in Astrology is the expression of the creative principle, influenced by the element of the sign in which the Sun is positioned. Thus:
The position of the Sun in a birth chart indicates the degree of vitality that the personality has. In Astrology, the Sun also indicates the personality way to disappointments. A) Yes:
The Sun indicates how the active and masculine part of the personality can flow. Male energy is an integral part of the personality of man and woman. When the Sun is positioned in a positive sign, the assertiveness of the personality is strong and the masculine energy comes into confrontation with the world. In negative (or passive) signs, energy flows inward, into the personality.
The Sun represents the father figure or authority figure . The way a man exercises his role as a father is described by his sun sign, in nuances that characterize the way he relates to his children and how he deals with his parental role. The element of the sign is the determining factor. A) Yes:
However, the personality of each person is a mixture of different planetary energies that appear in their birth chart. Therefore, the presence of these other planetary energies can accentuate or diminish certain traits traditionally associated with the sun sign. For example, the influence of Saturn on the personality indicates a cold and severe father, while the passage of Pluto suggests a dominant father.
In the birth chart , when the sun is well positioned, the disposition is noble, benevolent, dignified and humane. He is a faithful friend and a generous enemy. When the sun is badly positioned, the disposition is frivolous, vain, arrogant, pretentious and given to bad character.
The challenge associated with the Sun is discovering how we can express our potential to the fullest . It also allows us to know how to restore our personal balance after a difficulty. At best, the Sun manifests itself brilliantly in our personality, at worst it can turn it into arrogance or vanity.
