As the sun puts forth light, so it bring forth life. This planet (also
known as luminary and a star) represents the self, one's personality
and ego, the spirit and what it is that makes the individual unique.
It is our identity and our face to the world. The sun also speaks to 
creative ability and the power of individual to meet the challenges 
of everyday life.

One's natural father, husband and other male influences are ruled by the sun, as are children. The sun's energy is a forceful one, and 
in its wake come authority, the ability to lead and an individual 
essence, their core being. Through the will of this planet, we learn 
to manifest ourselves in the world.

The sun is majestic, and in keeping with its regal air, its rules 
royalty and higher office. The orb also lords our health and well 
being. The sun's golden glow is a vital life force which imbues 
us with strength, energy and a will to succeed. It is the sun which gives strength to the other planets, which is why this planets occupy a key role in astrology.

The sun spends a month visiting each sign and takes a year to 
journey through the twelve sign of zodiac. It is the masculine 
energy and rules leo and the fifth house.
