In astrological tradition

In astrology the Sun is treated as a luminary and is traditionally associated with the core self — a person's sense of identity, purpose, and vitality. The popular 'star sign' is the zodiac sign the Sun is said to occupy at birth. These are symbolic associations, not scientific findings.

What it is said to represent

Astrologers traditionally read the Sun's placement as describing themes of self-expression and the drive to grow into one's identity. It is considered the center of the chart in much the same way it is the center of the Solar System — a symbolic parallel, not a physical claim.

How astrologers use it

In chart interpretation the Sun's sign and house are read together with the other placements. Its traditional rulership is the sign Leo.
