Sign in and generate your natal chart to see how Sun shows up in your own placements.
The Sun is the centre of your chart — the essential 'you' that everything else orbits around. Your Sun sign describes what makes you feel most alive and most yourself.
Depth psychology reads the Sun as the ego-ideal — the conscious self we are in the process of becoming. Individuation, in Jungian terms, is the long project of bringing the whole psyche into service of the solar principle.
Your Sun by sign is how you shine when you feel confident; your Sun by house is the area of life where identity is actively built. Follow the Sun to find what re-charges you.
The natal Sun is the anchor. Sign shows temperament, house shows life-arena, and aspects show what supports or complicates your capacity to be fully yourself.
Solar transits mark birthdays and yearly renewal. A Sun transit to a natal planet lights up that theme for a day or two — small, but reliably illuminating.
The unintegrated Sun is ego inflation — needing constant attention, unable to share the stage, mistaking performance for identity.
The integrated Sun is quiet, generous confidence — someone who knows who they are and lets others be who they are.
This is easiest to feel when you can see it in your own chart. Open your natal chart and look for Sun directly.
