What does the sun sign in astrology represent?
The sun is your basic nature, the energy that comes naturally to you and is able to seemingly effortlessly flow through you as you maneuver the world and its challenges. It becomes your basic identity, the main expression and end-all decision-maker in situations that impact you. The sun has a large role in how you respond to new experiences, often dictating your initial reactions and dominating your actions.
We can’t bring up sun signs without looking at it’s relationship with the ego. The sun, at it’s core, is your ego. It wants you to shine. It wants you to express. It wants you to be the brightest expression of yourself in whichever house it’s being expressed in. Your sun sign will show you the things that light you up, that gives you a sense of power and life. When we are at our best, our sun will shine through. When your sun/ego is being fed, it can feel like life is being given to you.
At the end of the day our sun is the image we are shining into the world. It becomes our unique personal center that we can naturally and easily come back to whenever we need to recharge. Many of our personality traits will be determined by our sun sign and you will be one out of twelve main personalities.
Like I said before, your sun sign is just the beginning, you have an ENTIRE natal chart that shows you your moods and emotional side, where you shine within the world, what relationships are like for you, where your life challenges might be, where you’re naturally supported etc..
