The Sun

Celestial Body: Star

The Sun is the center of the solar system around which everything revolves. It is a star type known as a “yellow dwarf,” a medium-sized star powered by nuclear fusion of hydrogen + helium. It accounts for 99.8% of the solar system’s mass.

Rules: Leo

It rules the sign of the Leo, so that’s why Leo energy is often mistaken. Everything revolves around the Sun, not because the Sun commands such, but because gravity exists + is real. It is the same thing with Leo, no one can resist their magnetism or charm + all are pulled and compelled towards + by it.

Mythology

There are loads of sun gods. I encourage you to always begin with your own heritage and roots and read about the gods and goddesses within your own ancestry along with others that you are drawn to in order to discover your own intuitive understanding about the sun and its mythological power. The Greeks and Romans worshiped Helios and Sol, respectively, adopting a merged worship like many other Greco-Roman deities (ie. Aphrodite and Venus). My personal lineage includes the Irish god Lugh (loo), so I study his myth and apply relevant energetics to my craft when necessary.

Application

Your sun sign accounts for the dominant power in your astrological chart. We are all affected by all twelve signs in equal energetic distribution through the twelve houses, however, the mass of the energy will be centered in your sun sign. Therefore, everything in your chart, all your celestial placements and how they interact with current transits is read in relation to the sun. Everything revolves around the sun.

In your body graph, your unconscious (internal + physical body) and conscious (external energy) sun sign gates influence your life purpose.
