The Sun in Astrology: The Centre of Your Consciousness & Vitality
The Sun is the centre, the source of light and warmth. Light gives us the ability to see and become aware of the world. The Sun is our consciousness. Warmth is associated with activity, life force, and vitality. Within a person, there exists a principle, a source of their consciousness and their life.
This centre supports our life and our psyche – this is thought, perception, will, emotional perception, and actions. This is the 'Self'. A person becomes aware of themself as an individuality, a spirit, an essence, a divine principle, life – consciousness – wholeness. The Sun is an active centre; it provides the opportunities for other forces to act.
The Sun is independent. Traits connected with the Sun are those that are not changed through upbringing, education, or experiences. Neither can we change a person's psychological type – their temperament, their individuality. The Sun determines a person's temperament. The Sun determines a person's inner position towards the outer world and towards themself.
To be! To live! To survive! The Sun takes nothing; it only gives. Any action that originates from the Sun is always creative. How do we recognise creativity? It resembles play; that is its clearest manifestation. Creativity is characterised by a lack of purpose; it has no goal other than creativity itself.
Jupiter does something for a result, Venus – out of attraction, Saturn – from a sense of duty or for the sake of tradition. Only the Sun acts on impulse, with no goal other than inspiration. The Sun does not like limitations; it sometimes becomes authoritarian. Very often, we associate the Sun with a sense of one's own dignity, an absolute confidence in oneself. It is difficult to divert the Sun from its path.
