The Sun is the centre of your chart and your sense of self: your core identity, your vitality and the direction you are quietly always heading. Where the Sun sits is where you most want to shine.
What it governs
- Role: Identity & vitality
- Keywords: identity, vitality, the core self and its direction
- Type: Luminary
Sun is one of the two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon. They are the brightest, most personal points in any chart, and the first place most readings look.
Wherever Sun falls, its sign shows the style it acts in and its house shows the part of life it touches. Sun in a bold fire sign plays out very differently from Sun tucked away in the quiet twelfth house.
