The Sun: ego
Posted under Planets
This is the glyph that represents the Sun: a circle with a dot in the middle. Can you find it in your chart?
In astrology, the word “planet” has a slightly different meaning than it does in astronomy. The origin of the word planet comes from a Greek word meaning “wanderer.” Astrologically speaking, a planet is a body that appears to “wander” or move across the sky, including the Sun and Moon1.
LeoThe Sun is the center of our solar system, and also represents the creative center within us.
Ego, Soul, Self
Creativity, Character
Each planet in your chart also represents certain people. The Sun represents Your Father, Men, The Boss, and Authority figures. Conditions around the Sun in your horoscope describe your relationship to these people.
Each planet also rules a part of the body. The Sun rules the Heart.

So for my friend, what about when natal sun 2nd opposes saturn 8th Aquarius 8 degrees and transiting saturn crosses sun in Leo. Isn’t that a lot of saturn at one time? Personally I am getting alot of contact with the influence firsthand of his father recently.

Hi there Molly,
Hope you are doing well, what a great website you have created here.
I had a question for you – as you have read people’s charts over the years, specifically Composite Charts, do you see alot of Sun-Pluto aspects?
Or would Sun-Pluto aspects be something that you would identify as significant when looking at the composite chart of a couple?
And what if the aspect was an exact conjunction of Sun-Pluto, would that make the aspect that much stronger?
Thanks for your input, Molly.
In gratitude,
T. Leon

Hi Thomas-- Thanks for your kind words! I can't say I have noticed a pattern. But I don't read composite charts much. (I think synastry is much more significant.) When I do, I tend to notice planets on angles more than aspects. It's not that I don't notice the aspects, just that they don't seem to be as important as what's on the angles.
