The Sun

Rules Leo

The Sun is our nearest star, a ball of fire that is the source of almost all the solar system's light, energy and heat. It takes the Sun approximately 30 days to pass through one sign and a full year to complete its journey through the Zodiac. The foundations of astrology are based on the predictable pattern of the Sun's movements, although this is really the movement of the Earth around the Sun.

The Sun represents the life-force, giving self-expression and individuality, and its energy relates to our egos and inner self. People with strong Suns have a commanding presence; they are always noticed and appreciated, although too much Sun in their chart can make them vain and arrogant.
