Sun in the Signs
Sun in Aries
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Aries would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Aries. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and people with the Sun in Aries are the first to start—and the first to finish—whatever they set out to do. They’re innovators. Aries is an active, energetic sign. You are likely to be direct, straightforward, and uncomplicated. You expect the same from others, and you’re baffled when you don’t always receive the same in return!
The body comes first with Aries and Sun in Aries people are often natural athletes. At the very least, their natural inclination is to use their bodies to get things done. With the Sun in Aries, you are not given to long, drawn-out emotional moments; nor are you big on planning ahead. Instead, you tend to live your life simply. What is happening right now is most important to you.
Impatience is a definite vice, and innovation is a tremendous strength. You very likely love to start anything new, and you have trouble sitting still. You are a pioneer in many of the things you do, and you possess a fundamental quality of bravery that is unmistakable! Even shy Aries have a deep well of courage to draw from. Aries knows what they want, and they know the quickest route to getting it. You will take shortcuts if you must, but generally what you do is above board. Underhanded just isn’t your style. Some Aries people are bold, but even the quieter ones are brave and plucky in their own way. Independence is your birthright. Nothing gets you going more than a fresh slate, the promise of a new day, and a brand new start. You may not always finish what you start because you enjoy the excitement of innovation, and you’d be wise to choose a career or hobbies accordingly.
You are a natural leader, but you are also fine with doing things all on your own. This is because gaining followers is not your goal — you simply want to be first in line. Sometimes others might find you a little brusque or possibly even thoughtless. Often, you automatically assume that others share your enthusiasm, but this quality can lead to others assessing you as insensitive or self-absorbed. You tend to hate apologies or dwelling on things, preferring to move on and forward without looking back!
Aries enjoys a challenge, and with your Sun in Aries, you are happiest when your life is active and moving forward. There’s a childlike quality to all Aries Sun people, and it’s often disarmingly charming!
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Mars sign since Mars is Aries’ planetary ruler. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Aries interpretation. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign. More on Aries.

Sun in Taurus
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Taurus would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Taurus.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and with Taurus as your Sun sign, there is something substantial and solid about you, no matter what the rest of your chart says about you. Though you are dependable most of the time, this shows itself more in habit than in outright helpfulness. Taurus natives are sensual folk–-and this includes sex but extends to pleasures in all areas: they delight in the sensual pleasures of food, a comfortable blanket, a richly colored aquarium to look at, the smell of flowers or spring rain, pleasing melodies coming from their stereos, and so forth. Some might even say they live through their senses more than most.
When you work, you work hard. You do it with a steadiness that may rarely be considered quick–rather, it’s a dependable, plodding, and steady effort that has its payoffs. Security is immensely important to you–some Taureans actively seek wealth, while others are content to be “comfortable.” The Taurus definition of “comfortable” may not be exactly the same as the rest of the signs, but comfort is a driving force.
Although hard-working, your fixed and comfort-loving nature sometimes makes you appear lazy. This is only because you separate work and leisure so expertly. When you work, you work hard, and when you play, you don’t actually “play” as such…you relax. A Solar Taurus who has kicked their feet up is rooted there–others would be hard-pressed to get you to move. On a mental level, people around you likely have the same problem. Taureans stick with things and ideas, and therein lies one of the reasons why they are known for their stubbornness. Taurus is a Fixed sign, and with your Taurus Sun, there is a fair measure of tradition and steadiness in your makeup that keeps you rooted.
The possessiveness associated with Taurus shows up in all areas of life in some way. Taurus likes to own things (and sometimes people, in a sense). A nice home, a piece of land (this can be modest), a paid-off car, that aquarium mentioned earlier, a couple of pets, maybe a stable business…In love and relationship, there is an earthy kind of possessiveness that may be considered jealousy by some, but there is actually quite a difference between being possessive and being jealous. Taurus natives are rarely jealous and petty. You may, however, think of the people you love as yours–it adds to your sense of security.
You feel accomplished when you build something solid that endures over time. While you can be slow to start, once you gain momentum, your strength and vitality become evident. Your memory is retentive. You’d rather that instructions are demonstrated to you than verbalized. You are nature-loving and feel comfortable with earthy activities. While you are generally reliable and consistent, watch for a tendency to stick with something that no longer serves you well.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Venus sign since Venus is Taurus’ planetary ruler. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Taurus interpretation. Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign. More on Taurus.

Sun in Gemini
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Gemini would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Gemini.
With your Sun in Gemini, your urge for self-expression is powerful. You are often just as interested in collecting information as you are in sharing it. Curious to a fault, you have a finger in every pie. You’re flexible and changeable, and your ability to adapt quickly to new situations gains you plenty of friends and social contacts. You’re likely to be quite clever and witty, enjoying intellectual conversations, and you’re easily bored if you are not getting enough mental stimulation.
Often quite adept at fitting in with others, Geminis quickly adopt the moods of those around them. They are friends to people from all walks of life, and they’re not easily intimidated. As a Gemini, your ability to detach yourself can make you highly objective and observant, but a little difficult to get close to! Although you may have many friends or acquaintances, intimacy doesn’t come as easily to you (unless you have many indications otherwise in your chart).
It can be difficult for others to know what you really feel at any given moment. You’re highly impressionable and sometimes quite scattered. There is usually a nervous air about you that can make people who seek a more personal approach a little uneasy. It is not always intuitive to trust Geminis to be loyal or to keep secrets. This is usually not about the trustworthiness of their character but more about their love of talking, sharing, and variety!
Geminis often flit about, moving quickly and keeping busy every step of the way. Many people with this position of the Sun have gained quite a bit of knowledge in their lifetimes — they know something about everything! If you’re such a Gemini, you can be a thoroughly engaging conversationalist. Your attention span may be short, however, unless you also have Mercury in Cancer (which many Geminis do), and restlessness can keep you from sticking to one thing for too long.
If you’re like most Geminis, you’re really quite affable, and you thoroughly enjoy the “light” side of life. This tendency to take things lightly makes you quite pleasing to be around, but it can be maddening to people seeking support on the deeper issues in life.
Geminis are both interesting and interested. As a Gemini, your wit can be dazzling and your changeability dizzying. At the very least, you’re never boring!

Sun in Cancer
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Cancer would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Cancer.
With your Sun in Cancer, you have a strong survival instinct. You are protective of those you care about, and of yourself, too. You may very well be quite reticent about sharing your inner self with the rest of the world, and you’re often caught up in reminiscing.
Cancers have a reputation for moodiness, although this trait is most evident when the Moon is in Cancer. With a Cancer Sun, you need roots. You resist change to an extent and concern yourself with being secure and safe in most everything you do.
You’re likely very intrigued by objects with history attached to them — antiques, photos, souvenirs, and the like.
You are often guided by your feelings as you size up places, people, and situations based on how they make you feel and what you sense of them. Cancers’ lives often grow easier as they get older.
Others find you complex, interesting, and sometimes baffling! You’d rather hide your vulnerability, particularly in your youth, although as you age, you learn to work with it. Your love runs deep and you love people, but you need your emotional space from time to time — a retreat of sorts is a necessity. It may seem to others that you take longer than most to process your feelings. While your personality appears changeable and your moods certainly are, you tend to resist external changes as you cling to habits and the past more than most signs.
Cancer is a compassionate, sensitive sign, and you don’t always appreciate it when others are blunt with you — you feel there are kinder, more subtle ways of expressing “truths”! Your reaction to hurt will depend on how thick a shell you’ve developed over the years. Most Cancers react by withdrawing or retreating. Some have developed an ability to manipulate others to get what they want. They avoid direct confrontations almost as a rule. There is a high need for Cancers to feel out the environment around them before trusting it. Nobody likes rejection or ridicule, but Cancers often make big decisions in their lives just to avoid the chance of these things.
You are, in fact, quite yielding and soft when others have you in the right mood. Cancer is one of the more hospitable signs of the zodiac. Sure, you can be touchy and indirect at times, but you’re also a very dependable, caring soul. Even if you don’t quite know how much, you have loads to share with others, once you feel safe enough to open up. You are loyal and will hold onto those you’ve allowed into your private circle. You are warm, thoughtful, and full of love.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Moon sign since the Moon is Cancer’s planetary ruler.

Sun in Leo
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Leo would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Leo, and you’re made up of many signs.
There’s an unmistakably regal air to Solar Leos. These are dignified–even noble–folk.
Leos have a reputation for being conceited but think again. Leos do feel important, but this often takes the form of wanting to change the world in some way–to make the world a better place. Affection for people motivates Leos, and they often have big dreams and plans to make people happy.
Leos are usually hard-working. After all, they are attracted to the good things in life, and they know they have to work to get them. It is sometimes difficult to imagine Leos as go-getters if you happen to catch them in one of their languid moods. These people can sleep in, laze around, and luxuriate for long periods of time. However, when they do get to work, they do it with intensity and determination. In this way, they are not unlike their symbol, the lion.
As a Leo, the worst thing someone can do to you is accuse you of bad intentions. Displaying behavior that makes you think they don’t appreciate you runs a close second. You’re happy and jovial but quickly hurt when others don’t see you for your noble intentions.
Loyal, and sometimes rather traditional, your Leo sign is, after all, a part of the Fixed family. You’ll hold on to situations and people for a very long time before you give up. There is an unmistakable idealism to your view of the world and the people in it. You’re likely to have a very noble inner code that you answer to.
Although on the surface, Leos appear rather confident, they can actually be some of the most humble souls around. They are the first to blame themselves when something goes wrong. Once again, it’s the Leonine self-importance at work, and this characteristic works in unexpected ways. Instead of being the conceited, self-absorbed show-offs of reputation, they are usually very self-aware, self-conscious, and, yes, even humble.
Of course, there are also some Leos who roar loudly when they’re not getting the attention they feel they deserve. These Leos are wonderfully flamboyant and light up a room with their specialness.
Leos can be the life of the party or the quieter type, but however they approach the world, they seek out a special way to express themselves. They’re creative, loving, affectionate, and filled with pride. Some of the key phrases associated with Leo are “I lead”, “I rule”, “I create”, and “I will”. They are rulers, leaders, actors, and entertainers at heart. Leos are generally honest, determined, persistent, and ambitious.
As a Leo, you are unlikely to want to be just another face in the crowd or part of a team. You don’t like to be compared to others. As a Fire sign, you are vibrant, fiery, and emotional or impulsive, but you have a stronger measure of self-control than other Fire signs. You inspire others, and you take responsibility seriously.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, and the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Leo interpretation. Leo is a Fixed Fire sign. More on Leo.

Sun in Virgo
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Virgo would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Virgo, and you’re made up of many different signs.
Virgo Suns who are stuck in the practical, material world may learn a lot about themselves if they are brave enough to try placing their lives on automatic pilot once in a while. Letting some things go can do wonders for their spirit. Virgos tend to be too hard on themselves. They worry about their health, their performance at work, all the things they haven’t done, and the emails that might be waiting for them while they are away from their computer. When they’re not feeling well, they can be overly critical and nervous. They fuss around, have a whole slew of assorted little complaints, and throw small tantrums.
Solar Virgos are perfectionists–there’s simply no escaping it. They dream of mastery; they long to do something really well. Some Virgos are so scared of their own perfectionist qualities that they tell themselves they don’t care. Others will forever dabble into one thing or another, leaving a string of unfinished projects behind them. However, the happiest Virgos accept their need to get things right, without overdoing it. Probably the best advice for Sun in Virgo people is to find something that interests them–however small or large–and master it. Virgos are often content being an assistant or hard worker as they are rarely dazzled by positions of power or spotlight.
As a Virgo Sun, you are helpful, kind-hearted, diligent, and supportive. You are likely to be very private or fussy about your work or your personal workspace. You’re likely to become nervous when others look at your unfinished work, and you can be quite protective of your methods. Despite some struggle with lack of confidence, Virgos can be mighty proud–even arrogant–when it comes to their work, routines, or hobbies. Secretly, they think their methods of doing things are the best. Often, they are! You are likely to take pride in the little things you do, even though, in a broader sense, Virgos can be somewhat self-effacing and self-critical. Few can argue the fact that what you do, you do very well.
Your curiosity is sometimes mistaken for passion, which can surprise some people. The surprising part is that Virgo, although knowledgeable, doesn’t always get its hands dirty. Your willingness to explore is often kept at the intellectual level.
However, you’re likely to be well-respected and valued in your circles for your loyalty, research skills, willingness to lend a hand, and excellent powers of observation. Virgos are usually kind and helpful souls who, when appreciated, bend over backward to make things work.
The sign of Virgo is associated with work, service, daily routines, health, and habits. You can be particular about food and nutrition and especially invested in your work. You genuinely love being of service to others, as long, of course, that your support is appreciated. It’s true that compliments can make you feel awkward at times, and so you don’t actively seek them out, but when sincere ones come your way, you feel good. You are conscientious and reliable.
Not many people thrive on criticism, but Virgos are particularly fearful of it. They do their best to do their best and can take blame or criticism to heart. Virgos are self-critical and can be their own disciplinarians as a result. Calling out a Virgo can be counter-productive. Chances are good they already know and are working on it!
As a Virgo, you are adaptable and flexible, and you often go out of the way to accommodate others. You’re also very resilient, and although you are a sensitive soul with sometimes frayed nerves, you are persevering and recuperate well. You’re also an Earth sign and very practical and often cautious. You’re noted for your forethought.
You have an exceptional eye for detail. This can lead to a nit-picky way, of course, but your powers of observation are usually appreciated and used for good. It’s difficult for you NOT to see the flaws. You’ll probably need to address and manage this trait at some point in your life so that you don’t allow it to work against you.
There’s an odd combination of the intellectual and the practical in Virgo that is sometimes mistaken for coolness. In fact, Virgos are often self-effacing and shy. They’ll brush off your compliments quickly and, occasionally, critically; but don’t let that fool you. They enjoy your respect and appreciation. In fact, the happiest Virgos are the ones who feel appreciated and useful. Add plenty of worthwhile projects to keep them busy, and Virgos can be some of the sweetest, kindest people around.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Mercury sign since Mercury is Virgo’s planetary ruler.

Sun in Libra
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Libra would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Libra, and you’re made up of many different signs. Even so, your Sun sign is significant.
Libra natives are thought to be sociable, somewhat intellectual souls. They have an almost innocent way about them that makes them very approachable. Generally quite eager to cooperate, Librans spend a lot of their time trying not to rock the boat.
In theory, Libras are peace-loving. In practice, they can quietly stir up all sorts of trouble! Because Libra enjoys balance in their lives, they seek the middle ground. In the process, they may end up trying to be everything to everyone. This is where their reputation for untruthfulness comes from. Usually, their “untruths” spring from a true desire for peace and fairness–although they may not be comfortable with direct and malicious trickery, they feel entirely justified when they lie in order to avoid making waves. Peace at any price! In this sense, they seem harmless. But, what can result is quite a ruckus! People involved with Libras may crib about their lack of directness and their apparent inability to take a stand. Librans are experts at avoiding being the one to blame. When confronted, they’ll (calmly and reasonably) say, “What, me? No, I just want peace.”
“On the fence,” “middle ground,” “middle road” — these are all expressions that we can safely associate with Libra.
Some more powerful signs may consider Libra a little on the weak side. This is all a matter of opinion, however! Without Libra, life simply wouldn’t be as fair or kind.
Librans are known for comparing and thinking in relative terms, instead of in absolutes. This weekend is not just a good weekend, it’s better than last weekend. As a Libra, you are always looking for the “best” way or the “right” way to live. Harmony is the ultimate goal, but your idealism and high expectations can amount to plenty of discontent. Since life presents all of us with an extraordinary amount of choices, if you don’t learn to live in the moment at least some of the time, you’ll be in a constant state of unrest.
You’re extremely sensitive to imbalances around you. You aim to meet others halfway, and you definitely keep count in a relationship! As an Air sign, you live in your head more than most people, and as a Cardinal sign, you aim to take action. It’s true that you can be a procrastinator, but ultimately, you are moved to get things done, but you seek to do so with tact, grace, and consideration for others.
Society needs rules, and these rules attempt to bring justice, equality, and fairness. On an individual level, Libra represents these laws of civilization. As a Libra, you are very civilized and rather refined. You are diplomatic and fair. You can be indecisive and can suffer from “paralysis by analysis,” but you also see many different levels of any situation and can always see others’ points of view.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Venus sign since Venus is Libra’s planetary ruler. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Libra interpretation. Libra is a Cardinal Air sign. More on Libra.

Sun in Scorpio
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Scorpio would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Scorpio, and you’re made up of many different sign combinations. Even so, your Sun sign is highly influential and significant.
Scorpios are known for their intensity. They are determined folk who positively throw themselves into whatever they do — but getting them to commit to something is rarely an easy task. In fact, it’s better not to even try to “get them” to do anything. Solar Scorpios undoubtedly have their own mind. And, their primary motivation is unlikely to be prestige (like their Capricorn friends), or even authority (Leos can have that, too)–it’s real power. Their power can absolutely be of the “behind the scenes” variety, just as long as they have it!
As a Sun sign Scorpio, you are intense and have a powerful memory. You feel things deeply, and you retain your emotional memories longer than many. Scorpio is a Water sign, and you are unusually empathetic and perceptive, picking up on the tiniest of cues on emotional levels. You’re able to read a person quickly and thoroughly. Scorpio is also from the Fixed family, and this endows you with endurance, tenacity, and loyalty.
To others, Scorpios seem to have plenty of willpower. They probably do. Scorpios do know what they want, and they won’t go out and grab it at the wrong moment. They simply sit back, watch (quite expertly), and then get it only when the moment is just right. This apparent patience is, in fact, their powerful strategic skills at work.
Scorpio isn’t afraid of getting their hands (their bodies, their minds) dirty. The darker side of life intrigues them, and they’re always ready to investigate. With Scorpio as your Sun sign, you are “all in” when you choose to do something. You’re there for people you love, and you are unafraid of the darker, deeper side of things.
Scorpios rarely give up. They have tremendous staying power. As a Scorpio, you are not in the slightest intimidated by anybody or anything — at least that’s how you come across.
Confrontations are not a problem. In fact, talk to any Scorpio about their lives, and you’ll probably be in awe about all they’ve experienced. Upheaval, change, and intensity of experience may seem to follow them wherever they go. When a Scorpio is optimistic or learns optimism, instead of expecting the worst, they’ll find that they possess amazing regenerative powers — the power to heal, create, and transform.
As a Scorpio, you are not a person who takes things (or people, relationships) lightly, and for you to be on board, you need to find personal meaning in whatever you do. You may discover that there are people who are intimidated by you since you tend to exude a particular intensity that may have some wondering and worrying how you feel about them. Once they get to know you, however, they realize that although you have strong feelings and opinions, you are exceedingly understanding.
Scorpio is known as a vengeful sign, probably due to that long memory and passionate nature mentioned above, but on the other side of the coin, they love deeply and don’t give up on those they love without very good reason. Of course, learning to let go doesn’t come easily to this sign, but it’s far from impossible. In fact, the sign of Scorpio rules rebirth and transformation.
You are amazingly resilient, undeniably perceptive, and highly intelligent. You can be very shrewd when you need to be, and you love to draw up plans and strategies. You are extremely creative and enterprising, as well as daring and brave. Rarely pretentious, Scorpio is a sign that places tremendous value on authenticity.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Pluto and Mars signs since they are Scorpio’s planetary rulers. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Scorpio interpretation. Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign. More on Scorpio.

Sun in Sagittarius
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Sagittarius would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Sagittarius, and you’re made up of many different sign combinations. Even so, your Sun sign is highly influential and significant.
Restless, cheerful, and friendly, Sun in Sagittarius people are generally on the go. They have a deep love of freedom and disdain for routine. Usually quite easygoing, Sagittarians make friends with people from all walks of life. They love to laugh and tease, and they get along well with pretty much anyone, as they’re entirely undaunted by social differences.
Sagittarians are known to have often blind faith in people — and in the world. Their optimism is infectious, although it can get them into trouble from time to time! These are curious people who love to learn. Their idealistic nature is hard to miss.
As a Sagittarius, you are adaptable but passionate, you love to learn and, perhaps especially, share your ideas with others.
Although easygoing, Sagittarius is a member of the Fire family, and this gives natives of the sign a quick temper. Fortunately, they’re usually as quick to forget what got them angry in the first place! As a Fire sign, you seem to need quick victories, or else you simply move on to the next venture. Sticking to something may not be your forte, but this will depend on other factors in your chart (for example, strong and harmonious Saturn can increase your resolution).
Sagittarians can be opinionated, and they may easily put their foot in their mouths in their quest to speak truths. The need for escape is notable with this position, and some Solar Sagittarians come across as a little irresponsible as a result. As a Sagittarius, you are typically easy to forgive, however. In fact, your direct, honest approach to life is admirable.
You can be an inspiration to others, especially for your enthusiasm and bravery. You are likely to have some wanderlust in life — your eyes are on faraway lands or different experiences. You love to learn, but you are not only interested in book smarts. There can be times when you have trouble settling on any one particular path. Perhaps it’s about a fear of missing out, or it may be that you have so many ideas and interests that it’s hard to settle. You are enterprising and one of the firsts to start something, and follow-through doesn’t come quite as naturally — it’s something you need to develop over time.
You may get a reputation for some carelessness or clumsiness, whether this is figurative or physical! This very likely is because you’re anxious to move on and start fresh. You don’t have too much patience for planning or picky details unless you have strong Virgo or Saturn in your chart. You’d very much prefer to act first, and deal with issues later. However, you have a strong moral code and aim to be fair. Nobody can accuse you of thoughtlessness.
You’re unafraid of new experiences — in fact, you embrace them. You are spontaneous, and others love your ability to pick up and go without too much ado. Restlessness, if you frequently feel it, may be a sign that you’re not taking the time to get in touch with your deeper needs. You’re passionate, ready to rally for a cause, and you’re prepared to look at the bigger picture, as well as share your vision with others.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Jupiter sign since Jupiter is Sagittarius’ planetary ruler. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Sagittarius interpretation. Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign. More on Sagittarius.

Sun in Capricorn
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality. The Sun directs us and can be considered “the boss” of our chart.
When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Capricorn would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Capricorn, and you’re made up of many different sign combinations. Even so, your Sun sign is highly influential and significant, and we’re interpreting this factor here.
Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eye-on-the-prize sign. Those with Sun in Capricorn adopt a realistic, grounded approach to life that is unmistakable no matter how dreamy the rest of the birth chart may or may not be. Capricorns know how to do things, and to get things done.
Some Capricorns naturally turn their backs on things they deem too frivolous. They are very much concerned with things that are worthwhile — and this also applies to their own lives. Capricorns want to do and be something important. Like their Earth sign relatives, Taurus and Virgo, they need to feel useful and effective in the real world in order to be satisfied with their lives. But the Capricorn spin on the earth signs is that they have a stronger need for recognition in a worldly sense. They have a great sense of society and its framework, and they feel most secure when they feel they are doing their part within that framework.
As a Capricorn, you tend to like to pare things down, and you take pleasure in the simple things in life. However, some Capricorns can be attracted to status symbols, and these will wear the best clothes (tasteful ones!) and drive quietly impressive cars.
Comparing Capricorns to their symbol, the goat, brings up some interesting analogies. Solar Capricorns can see into the future, and plan for it. They don’t mind taking things slowly, but they absolutely aim to get to the top of the mountain in life! While other signs might see a mountain (or a long road, and so forth) and fear how long it would take them to climb it, Capricorns are somehow comforted by the idea that they can slowly but surely get to the top. They make their way steadily and sure-footedly; and their strength and singleness of purpose are admirable.
Capricorns can sometimes be rather lonely people, although they rarely let it show. They are often a bit reserved–even standoffish. This is usually because they value all things practical, and they’ll seldom wear their emotions on their sleeves unless they have a particularly flamboyant Moon sign.
This is a sign that is undoubtedly the most resourceful of the zodiac. To some, Capricorns come across as unimaginative, but Goats can be enormously creative when it comes to the material world. They are very capable people with a strong sense of tradition and responsibility.
Many Capricorns have mastered the art of making people laugh. Their sense of humor can be of the deadpan variety–they’re excellent at keeping a straight face. They can be bitingly sarcastic, too.
Capricorns are not known for taking too many risks in life. They value the beaten track and things “tried and true.” This is not to say they are stick-in-the-muds — they merely appreciate the hard work laid down by those who’ve been around before them.
As a Capricorn, you think about old age more than most, or you consider your “future self” ten or twenty years from now. This quality is behind many of the adjectives assigned to your zodiac sign, including prudent, cautious, and thoughtful. You’ve probably shouldered your share of responsibility in your life. You are goal-oriented and can be very determined to achieve what you set out to do. You may not be as quick to jump into new projects as some signs, but you’re the one who makes it to the finish line.
You may come across as a little judgey, largely because you hold yourself to rather high standards. As well, you tend to be the mature one of any given group, at least in spirit.
You seek out and aim to create order, and you’re very bothered by others who don’t follow the rules and end up getting in others’ ways as a result. Sloppiness such as this can be frustrating. You’re not boring, but you certainly appreciate some predictability, respect, structure, code, and organization. You prefer not to stick out too much from the pack, preferring to respect others’ boundaries and make your way through life quietly and steadily.
Friends turn to you for help when they need to really get things done. As a Capricorn, you have practical advice, and you’ll help them organize and manage their lives a little better. Capricorns are typically good with their “word,” dependable, and loyal people.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Saturn sign since Saturn is Capricorn’s planetary ruler.

Sun in Aquarius
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force.

The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality.

When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Aquarius would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Aquarius, and you’re made up of many different sign combinations. Even so, your Sun sign is highly influential and significant, and we’re interpreting this factor here.
One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With advancement and progress on their minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things.
Even so, Aquarius is a Fixed sign and can get stuck in their own ways. They’re not always quick to adapt to changing circumstances, but they do value progress, in general. Although open to change, in theory, Aquarians can be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong, but they can be very fixed in their opinions. Many Aquarians aim to free themselves from personal and social conditioning.
Often a bit aloof and even standoffish, Aquarians nonetheless are usually well-liked. They are curious and observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias are offensive to the typical Aquarius.
Aquarians are typically very clever, witty, and intellectual. They value frankness. It’s difficult to throw Aquarians for a loop since they’re usually on top of things. As well, very little surprises them!
There is a bit of reformer in you. You’ll try to get others to see through superficiality and encourage them to be open and forthright. “Be true to yourself” and “Don’t follow the crowd” are mottos easily associated with this sign.
Friendship means a lot to the Aquarius personality, but perhaps more importantly, camaraderie. As an Aquarius, you like to feel that people can get along, and while you’re realistic enough to know that this isn’t always the case, it never fails to bother you when you see camaraderie lacking in practice. Your quest for kindred spirits is a real one. You are imaginative and inventive and don’t always find it easy to meet others who are similarly wired, even though you treat all people fairly by default until they have proven themselves not worthy.
Sure, you can be practical and physical, but you seem to be at your best in the world of thoughts and ideas. As an Air sign, you find these realms of the mind most comfortable. You are dignified, friendly, and fair. Your reasoning ability is notable and strong – you’re a little more inclined to theoretical reasoning, but you’re also highly capable of practical thinking, and this combination is excellent. You strongly dislike hypocrisy and you’re easily moved by kindness.
As an Aquarian, you need space and value personal freedom. Any attempt to box you in will likely fail! You’ll happily return the favor, and you will treat people from all walks of life as equals. Equality and fairness are hallmarks of the sign.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Uranus and Saturn signs since Uranus and Saturn are your planetary rulers. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Aquarius interpretation. Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign. More on Aquarius.

Sun in Pisces
The Sun in the chart shows our character, personal identity, and ego. It represents our will to live and our creative life force. Just as the planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system, we derive our life purpose from the Sun in our natal charts. The Sun is our “adult”– the part of us that censors our “inner child,” reasons things out, and makes final decisions. The Sun also gives clues to our overall vitality.

When people ask you “What’s your sign?”, Pisces would be your answer. Technically, though, it’s your Sun sign that is Pisces, and you’re made up of many different sign combinations. Even so, your Sun sign is highly influential and significant, and we’re interpreting this factor here.
As the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, Pisces contains within itself a little experience of all the signs. This gives Pisces Suns the incredible ability to identify with people from all walks of life–from all backgrounds–in some way. Pisceans are not only changeable and adaptable, they have open minds and tremendous understanding. But Pisces itself is often misunderstood. Pisces Suns may spend a good portion of their lives yearning for understanding, and the other part in a state of divine discontent. Suffering is sometimes glamorized in the Piscean world.
Sun in Pisces people are sometimes pegged as wishy-washy, but this is all a matter of opinion. What you will find behind a vaguely directionless manner is a deep, sincere person with real dreams. Their dreams are more than getting that picket fence or making it up the corporate ladder. Pisces are tuned in to a higher purpose and their goals transcend the individual. A deep love for humanity and compassion that knows few bounds is found with this placement of the Sun.
Pisceans are not known to be cutthroat business types, nor are they given to throwing themselves out into the world in an aggressive manner (unless their charts show strong indications of these tendencies). But make no mistake about it, Pisces can be extraordinarily successful when given a chance to express themselves. The arts, marketing, music, teaching, drama, healing arts… these are all fields in which Pisces can find expression. Their imagination, attunement to humanity, and remarkable intuition endow them with enviable gifts of insight and creativity.
Pisces is a sensitive sign–both sensitive to criticism and sensitive to others’ feelings. Easily touched by human suffering, at least in theory, Pisces wouldn’t hurt a fly. They believe in people, are deeply hurt by compassionless human behavior, and have a hard time saying no. Harsh realities are avoided either through escapist behavior or self-delusion; but every now and again reality does raise its ugly head and hits Pisces over the head. This is a sad time indeed. Pisces retreats into their own world, self-pitying and giving pep talks to themselves (“I will never trust again!”). Rest assured, though, that these periods are rather short-lived and even useful. Pisces seems to derive energy from their (generally short) bouts of self-pity. They come back stronger, with a spring in their step, ready to face the world again, and just as, if not more, compassionate and trusting as they were before. Some might even wonder if Pisces finds pleasure in suffering. Perhaps this is the case for a few, but most of the time, Pisces pulls a lot of creative energy from sadness. Pisces is the poet or artist with angst.
Some find Pisces’ tendency to be late for appointments, spaced out behavior, or absent-mindedness amount to irresponsibility. Pisces would be shocked to know this, however. Who me? Pisces wonders. Irresponsible? Pisces Suns absolutely care — their love knows few bounds — but their retreats from ordinary life (whether they are as simple as daydreams or actual departures) that they do seem to need are not always understandable to no-nonsense signs, such as Virgo or Aries.
Many Pisces seem almost allergic to things like shopping lists, maps, directions, and instructions, and for some brave souls, even watches — they prefer to feel their way through life than to follow a solid plan. Of course, Pisces with strong Capricorn, Aries, or Saturn, for example, in their charts will appreciate a guide map, at least.
You are generous, kind, creative, and peace-loving by nature. Your artistic sense is well-developed.
As a Pisces, you are wise, but you seem to retain a certain amount of innocence throughout life that keeps you vital and compassionate. This is because you believe — in people, in life, in spirit, whatever it is you put your faith in, it keeps you vibrant. People appreciate you for your sense of humor, wordless understanding, and innate kindness.
Your Sun sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Sun rules (Leo) on its cusp, and your Neptune and Jupiter signs since Neptune and Jupiter are your planetary rulers. These positions add more layers to the Sun in Pisces interpretation. Pisces is a Mutable Water sign. More on Pisces.
