Rules: Leo/ 5th
house
Natal significance: The Sun represents
your ego, your subjectivity in the epistemologically unproblematic
modernist sense. The Sun shows your core personality and how you
wish to shine; as such, it has traditionally been identified with
the "masculine" principle. Look to the house placement of your
Sun to see what realm of your life is most bound up with your
basic ego needs.
Transiting significance: Where the Sun
is transiting in your chart is where you are likely to concentrate
your energy and exercise your will for the month. The position
of the Sun, more than any other planet, determines your general
outlook on the world, how easy or difficult it is for you to express
yourself. When the Sun returns to the position of your birth around
your birthday, it marks the end of a yearly cycle and the initiation
of a new one. Your solar return chart -- a chart erected for the
exact moment when the Sun returns to your natal solar position
-- can show you the overarching tone of your upcoming year.
