The Sun and My Thoughts…

Here are bullets from a couple of different sights, as well as my own personal thoughts on some of these statements.

  • Most powerful planet. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
  • The Sun is referred to as a planet even though it is actually a “luminary.” (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
In Astrology you will consistently hear the reference that the sun and the moon are planets.  That's why I placed this piece of information in.  They are not but to make things a little easier they are grouped into the planet category because they two have effects on us similar to the planets. 
  • Gives us life, warmth, energy. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
This is more in reference to the actual physical Sun, but I added it in because it is a good representation of our life, warmth and the strength of who we are.  The core source that creates this is who you are inside and that is the Sun part of who you are.
  • Force that sustains us. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
  • Most important and pervasive influence. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
When one truly knows this part of themselves, one has significant influence in his or her own life.  The confidence and energy radiates from within and draws others to you.
  • In many ways determines how others see you. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
The strength of the Sun is strong, and as one learns more about themselves the stronger one becomes inside of them.  Others will reflect the space you hold in yourself that creates the image others see in you, they become reflections of who you are at that time.  It is up to you to determine who that will be based on what your own wants and needs are.
  • Governs your individuality, your distinctive style, and your drive to fulfill your goals in life. (Woolfolk, 2006, #3)
The strength of who you are sits deep within, it is important to understand that strength so what you reflect matches what is inside of you.  To obtain our goals we must become what that drive and desire that is deep inside wants to be.
  • The true structure of who you are.
The overall structure of who you are is that of the Sun sign.  The Sun's strength in you will affect all other parts of who you are, and that includes those planets that are also a part of who you are.  Your Sun brings out the best or worst parts of those planets.  The Sun’s strength should be able to use those planets to bring you the balance and energy one needs to shine as bright as the physical sun does.
  • The knowledge of Sun signs is not only useful in casual social meetings, it is invaluable in close relationships. (Woolfolk, 2006, #4)
This one is what I found to be the most important piece of knowledge in my life.  Once I began to study astrology I began to ask everyone at work what their sun sign was.  This made such a difference in how I related to co-workers, friends, family and patients.  Learning the Sun signs allowed me to better understand one's own behaviors and how they may react or behave during certain situations.  This basic knowledge changed my perceptions and beliefs of those I once could not understand.  It also helps me to better understand astrology as a whole.  This part was of great importance.
  • An understanding of your own Sun sign will give you an added measure of self knowledge, a deeper insight into the stranger that is yourself. (Woolfolk, 2006, #4)
I do not know if we ever stop learning about our own true self.  When you start digging deeper and deeper into your soul's life, you find some amazing things.  Yes, we may see somethings that we may not always like, but trust me work through that part because what seems so hidden sometimes ends up being the best part of who you are.
  • Represents the Self. (Www.astrology.com, n.d., )
This is who you are.  All of you.  It is so important to take care of you and to learn all about all parts of who you are.
  • The overall Person you are.
  • The creative part of who you are.
The only comment I have on this is to remember, creativity comes from this part of you but the actual part of creating something for the world to see comes from mercury.  Many times it is our own suffering or even happiness in who we are in the self that gives us the creativity to create.  So just be aware that your creativity may be a way to understand that own part of you and mercury is there to express that to others.
  • The one who draws people in.
If you ever meet a Leo you will understand the Sun.  It is this strength in who they are, their shine that draws people into them.  That is the best way to explain it.  It is not always easy to explain something you must see.  Even someone who may even have a Leo moon portrays strength to others so don’t be shy and ask those that you see strength in that you may find yourself drawn to what their moon or sun is.  Maybe then you will understand that pull that seems to come so easily to them.
  • The Sun’s energy is a forceful one, and in its wake comes authority, the ability to lead and an individual’s essence, their core being. (Www.astrology.com, n.d., )
  • Through the will of this planet, we learn to manifest ourselves in the world. (Www.astrology.com, n.d., )
  • Vital life force which imbues us with strength, energy, and a will to succeed. (Www.astrology.com, n.d., )
  • The Sun gives strength to the other planets. (Www.astrology.com, n.d., )
All the planets located in your natal charts are influenced by your very own Sun sign.  You give strength to those parts of yourself and overall to who you are as a being.
  • The Sun rules the Sign of Leo and its home is in the 5th house.
It is important to understand that the Sun that is in all of us is the sign of Leo, learn more about the signs in the signs section.  The Sun’s home is in the 5th house and where our strength comes from.  Read more about the houses and the 5th house in the house section.

One last comment after watching the video.  I think it will depend on what one believes is strength that makes them strong.  Some people look at the physical strength as being strong others may look at mental strength as being strong.  There are a lot of different view on strength, just remember you are the one looking within It is up to you to determine what it is that you want in your life.
