The Sun in astrology, like any other source of light, gives birth to life. This luminary or star represents the self, your character and conscience, the soul, and what distinguishes you from everyone else. It's your identity as well as your figurehead. The Sun also represents your ability to be creative and to face the demands of daily living.
Our Sun rules one's biological father, husband, and other male influences, as well as children. The Sun's energy is powerful, and it brings with it authority, the responsibility to empower, and the spirit, or core being of an individual. You learn to manifest yourself in the world through the will of this planet.
The Sun in astrology is magnificent, and it rules royalty and higher office in keeping with its regal demeanor. This orb is also in charge of your well-being as the Sun's golden rays are an essential life force that gives you strength, power, and an ability to improve. Our Sun in astrology provides energy to the other celestial bodies. This explains why it plays such an important role in astrology and metaphysics.
This planet visits each sign for about a month and tends to take a year to complete its voyage through the 12 zodiac signs. It signifies masculine energy and governs the zodiac sign Leo and the 5th house.
