Question: The Sun in the Second House would show you that obtaining and maintaining material security is a central focus in your life. The House of the Sun is a very important house in the chart. Your ego/identity is bound up in the realm of that house. But seriously, I am just so tired of everything 2nd house supposedly relating to money. Any Thoughts? In Carol Rushman’s book it says that if you see the Sun in the 2nd house…...
The Sun may increase self-assurance and leadership qualities but this very much depends on the Sun sign and aspects to it. If the Ascendant and Sun are in the same zodiac sign this very much strengthens the sign in the chart – the person will strongly resonate to it. In any event, this is a self-conscious and self-aware placement. Early experiences of feeling watched or of being given extra attention when young (which the individual may or may not have…...
The acquisition of possessions is extremely important to the subject, who will feel a great sense of pride in showing these off on every possible occasion. He or she will not simply want to gloat over an ever-increasing bank balance or folio of stocks and shares, but rather will want the world to know of such success. Generosity is usual unless it is mitigated by other influences (a “careful” Sun sign, for instance). In some cases the acquisitive powers can…...
This often indicates someone who shone at school, perhaps becoming Head Girl or Head Boy. Whatever the age, this individual is likely to come alive when in a learning environment. A lot of coming and going in the local environment is suggested – especially if the Sun falls in a mutable sign – plus an eagerness to communicate. This individual might forever be writing letters and emails. The father was probably also interested in learning; not necessarily an intellectual unless…...
All of your solar power is most likely to be centered upon and affected by your home and background. So your roots are very significant in determining what you make of life. You can either get buried in them or use them as a base from which to launch yourself. If there are negative qualities in your early home life, this will dog your progress more than is usual, so it is not until the latter part of life that…...
As with the Sun in the Leo, there can be a very strong need for attention and a dislike of being ignored. In romantic situations, the individual chooses partners on the basis of how much they feel loved, and less because they are drawn to the other person. This is also potentially a very creative position for the Sun (the nature of the creativity will be described by the sign involved) and certainly descriptive of someone with a strong appreciation…...
This placement suggests that the individual discovers and builds their identity through their job. They can gain confidence and recognition from others through their work. Thus, there can be a need to feel indispensable and to shine at work. There is also a strong belief in the importance of good service. For this person, the hero is someone who puts their heart into what they are doing and does the task, whatever it is, well. Often the father inoculated (not…...
The need to relate to others is extremely strong when the Sun falls in the seventh house, and there is a possibility that the individual with this placing will live for total commitment to a partner. In fact, care is needed that the subject’s identity is not entirely submerged in that of the partner, and self-reliance must be developed if this pitfall is to be avoided. Much will be given to the partner, physically and emotionally, for the Sun’s vitality…...
When the Moon or Sun or both are in the 8th House, there always appears to be some obfuscation of the personality’s core. The individual may be shining, dramatic, apparently extroverted, but caves in to shade-drawn solitude to regain strength or to escape when under pressure. When stressed, the person with this lunar or solar position is often inscrutable. Often, the personality factors are not easily accessible to others. Under great, protracted duress within a divorce case involving the partner’s…...
Intellectual growth, the broadening of horizons and the taking of challenging journeys for mind and body are all ways in which the solar energy is directed from the ninth house. This was once known as the “house of dreams” – an interesting description because those for whom it is heavily tenanted may get rather carried away. If dreams are to become concrete reality, the subject must adopt a practical approach and channel his or her intellect in the necessary directions.…...
