Sun Planet Astrology Meaning

Zodiac signs are also called sun signs for a reason. It’s the Sun that defines what sign you were born under. For example, if the Sun was in the constellation of Taurus at the moment of your birth, your zodiac sign is Taurus.

Being the planet ruler of Leo, the Sun is the strongest when it’s visiting this sign. In this case, it bestows many talents, creative skills, and the ability to discover them easily. People who have strong Sun on their natal chart like being in the spotlight and do their best to be noticed and admired by others. They often take leading positions as well.

“I” and “me” are the words they used quite often. Sometimes they tend to be dramatic just to attract more attention to their person. These might not seem like the best traits but these people are also great at charging everyone around them with positive energy.

Sun is exalted in Aries. This means that its influence manifests itself in a much harsher way than in Leo. That’s when individualism turns into maximalism and takes the shape of the extremely loud desire to assert oneself.

In Aquarius, Sun is in detriment, and in Libra, it’s in the fall. People born under these signs will have issues with manifesting the Sun qualities openly. They often say that people like that have the light that shines from within. They might influence others in no small way but they always have a hard time self-advertising. It’s just not how they do things. Showing their feelings and emotions in public isn’t their cup of tea.

Just like any other astrology planet, Sun influences people in both positive and negative ways. The latter becomes more pronounced when the astrology planet is weakened by a negative aspect.

Strong Sun helps one to show qualities like honor, generosity, patronage, leadership. Malicious Sun makes people superficial; they try to attract attention no matter what it takes. Such people are vain, proud, arrogant, and want to take control of others.

Weak Sun often translates as a blow to one’s personality and ego. Sometimes it might even mean physical deformities. Along with that, it points out personal issues, problems with self-actualization, insecurities, even psychological blocks. More often than not people with a weak Sun on their natal chart have communication problems with people in superior positions.

In case the Sun is influenced by positive aspects, people can easily put their creative skills to use, prove themselves, and easily reach all kinds of achievements.
