Specifically, the Sun represents the fixed ego and is composed of one half of what makes up a person's internal consciousnesses. The Sun rules over actions a person desires to take, personal ambitions and what they commit too. One way to really get in touch with the Sun is to understand it as "Individualism." Sun is the Soul of the horoscope is where one ultimately comes to shine the brightest shine the brightest. Sun is traditionally ruled by Leo and rules over the 5th house in a horoscope.

The sun typical traverses the Zodiac in a 365-day cycle making 30 day (or degree) stops through each sign. The sign the sun resides in is important as those features are where the ego resides. The sun and sign energy merge together to form the embodiment of the inner conscious world. Vitalization to the inner self comes through expressing power and authority connected with what each sign archetype represents. Sun is where a person is king, leads and finds the highest embodiment of soul and higher self.

The higher traits of the Sun can express as an energetic, outgoing and confident way. It is where willpower resides, power is gained, and authority ultimately culminated. The highest form of the sun is love, generosity and good health. The negative portrayal of the Sun can come in the form of being egotistical, selfish and arrogant. Too much emphasis on ambition, being proud and acting entitled can be detrimental in reaching the Sun's highest potential.

The Sun in Astrology is linked closely with the father figure. The traits of the sign of the sun can show key areas of his personality that were dominant. The inner ego can be highly susceptible in youth to the influence of the father and the authority he wields. The sign of the sun at birth can show a tendency to absorb the influence of the father's prominent personality traits into the inner world.

\---(Born with a purpose)--

Being the first sign of the zodiac the Aries Sun instinctively sees before itself a undiscovered world to explore. The ego wants to have a taste of everything that life is about.

The nature of Mars in the actual chart can show how aggressive or subdued the personality can express as.

While in Aries the Sun is composed of cardinal energy which brings strong desires to the ego to start and get into action. The needs and wants can be pursued in a seemingly selfish manner.. This cardinal energy in Aries brings with it a forcefully directed and ambitious need to achieve anything deemed a priority. As Aries itself is naturally ruled by Mars the ego is very competitive. The soul is born into the world vigorous about life and wanting to take for itself and will certainly prioritize in taking action to do so.

\---(Wanting to Win and Come out Ahead)--

Taking on new challenge are easily welcomed as courage and bravery come with the territory of Sun in Aries. The need to come out ahead ahead no matter the cost can dominate the personality. To a point issues can come about where a child-like need to win at all costs can make for coming across as egoistical and self serving. This along with the instinctual need to push through adversity will lead a Sun in Aries individual past the judgment of others towards pursuing their own needs. When chips are down or hope is lost the backing of Mars energy in Aries helps for pushing forward. No matter what prevailing number one need in life takes priority and there is very little in the path to slow down the need for Mars to charge and advance.

One of the biggest issues with Aries Sun is can be quite ignorant of the force of it's will. While one wishes to charge hard into battle it may lack the vision to truly grasp the

results of it's actions. The Sun Aries can have a tendency to run over people and situations to get what it desires. This is done at all costs and can certainly make others perceive this as selfish. Many enemies and adversaries are made over the course of life because of the desire to take everything that the ego wants. There can be a tendency to not be the most liked as Aries blazes a trail to whatever it wants to gain.

Of course this comes natural with their charisma and fire.

\---(The Natural Hero)--

For those who champion the causes of Aries become the beneficiary of the great loyalty the fire energy brings with it. Aries will love to play the hero role and go to battle to protect those that are loyal to them. Laying down their life to protect those they love and deem worthy is the way of the Aries warrior. The need to protect others can extend just those they lose; as helping people in emergencies and general need can be a way to show their strength and resolve. In the most extreme cases protecting and helping needy and weak people can suit a need showcase their bolster their ego and prove their worth.

\---(The Ego Runs Amok)--

When Sun in Aries portrays the prevalent negative side of the ruling martian fire energy can bring about problematic shortcomings. While Aries itself can harbor a need for excitement and to be successful; the negative side can manifest in a restless nature when nothing is going on for them. Since is soul becomes ruled by Mars anger can become a major part of the ego complex. Confrontations which threaten or damage the ego can cause flare ups in temper; especially if Mars in the chart promotes heavy anger issues. The need to also be number one may cause heavy arguments tied in with their strong will. Sun in Aries may fight to come out ahead when the anger is unleashed in argumentative exchanges. Enemies can result and be a direct result of Sun in Aries always needing to topple others.

\---(Impatient and Accident Prone)--

One of the biggest issues Sun in Aries can carry is the impatient nature of Mars influencing them. The impatience of Mars can make for wanting to make moves impulsively without necessarily planing ahead. Accidents can result and be far to common; as are issues associated with under-planning leading to shortcomings in achieving long term plans and visions. Being sidetracked and having a short attention span can also be a problems cause from the fire energy of mars influencing the basic ego. Issues with finishing projects are further highlighted because the attention can be turned elsewhere; especially if problems arise which cause personal inward anger and frustration. Sun in Aries may end up with many different projects left unfinished over the course of the life if not careful.

\---(Good at Starting But Finishing is Another Story)--

The Aries Sun is widely known for it's passion to get things started and does so in an unwavering manner. Despite this the Sun can run into problems with actually finishing what it starts. The ego of Sun in Aries is ruled by Cardinal energy making it very good at getting the ball rolling specifically. The motivation is strong but the desire to see things through to a true definitive end can be a major issue throughout life. More times then not the Sun can start projects and lack the patience to see the through to an end. This can be especially happen when difficulties arise and there are struggle seeing an end to a means. Like a youth child the Aries Sun can get flustered and abandon things it's start and look for something else to do where they feel they can more progress.

\---(Aries Sun and the Early Experience and Perception of the Father)--

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature. Sun in Aries can show a father who was a very fiery spirit. In a sense he may of been very child like, either for better or worse. He could of been a great friend growing up; but the relationship may of suffered if he had a lack of maturity. Passion and inspiration may of poured out of his character. He was most likely very pioneering, adventurous, very independent and loved to prove his worth. A competitive approach most likely was how he lived his life.

The Sun in Aries father could of always pursuing something new and exciting. Sports or activities pitting his worth against others may of been a hobby. He may of also been in the military or took on the battles of playing the hero. He may of excelled at working in emergency situations. Proving his worth as a parent was probably important to him and he may of loved to play the hero towards a child. Unfortunately he could of exhibited a selfish side, a domineering nature, a strong temper and possibly a naive childish nature about him.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note the Sun can represent the father and any aspect to the sun can influence heavily the presence in the early development (and onward) years of life.

Fights may of occurred because of the father's fixed opinions and struggles to see things in others ways.

Scorpio is a very permeable energy which can seep in and join with the greater collective through it's psychic intuitiveness to gain greater understanding of things. The connection can be so deep it may be shared with other metaphysical planes and other-worldly beings. The psychic element is a potential gift but really needs to be practiced and honed in on to reach it's maximum potential.

\---(Defensive and Protective)--

On the outside the Scorpio presents a tough image; one that is a hard case shell projecting toughness. The inner Mars nature is a very defensive one; one that is very protective of private matters and emotions. Secrets are a routine matter and serve a purpose of not tipping a hand that can present weakness or vulnerability of the core self. The idea of Protection is a key theme of life and it extends beyond just over the personal interest. The Sun in this sign is all about protecting over others that are cared for. Protecting desirable interests that can bring them resources from others is a priority which promotes continued establishment of the personal power.

Underneath the private shell projected by the the Scorpio Sun lies a very sensitive feminine inner core. The water nature of Scorpio is susceptible to hurt on a deep level. Emotional mood swings due to the elemental nature of water is a common occurrence. The extremely dark nature of Pluto can come to the surface when emotional pain is felt. A vindictive side of the inner personality can enact revengeful instincts when harm comes. Pluto and Scorpio both rule over power struggles which is a heavy emotional matter. When the personal power is in trouble of loss Scorpio is motivated toward acts of manipulation to try and balance things back for itself. An aggressive side of the personality can come out that evokes fears in others.

\---(Fears Promote Action)--

The desire to merge with another can possibly trigger paranoia in the Scorpio ego. Birthed from Plutonic influence paranoia comes through the fear of loss. An underdeveloped plutonic nature can lead the Scorpio sun into the arena of manipulation to keep the fear of loss at bay. Since the intuition is strong mind games can be an efficient manipulation tool. As a a psychological surgeon emotions can be used like a weapon to pray on on the human psyche. Controlling the war on emotions can get others to give into the need to share their resources with Scorpio and keep things under their control. Sun Scorpio can also use the tact of manipulation to defeat opponents who cross them if they get the chance.

The Scorpio ego can be very jealous and have a marked possessive side of their personality. This comes out especially over loved ones. Any situation presenting a threat triggers Mars protective instinct. If the danger is towards the Scorpio ego the tendency is to react vengeful in a selective matter. The sting of a Scorpio sun is usually well timed from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment when the opponent does not expect it. If a threat is targeted toward a loved one a ravenous protective instinct will lead to aggressive instincts to keep what is theirs in their possession. The Scorpio soul can be possessive over people.

\---(Scorpio Sun and the Early Experience and Perception of the Father)--

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature. Sun in Scorpio showed the male parent was one who had a distinct Martian or Plutonic nature. Privacy was important to him, yet a mysterious and complex aura about him always loomed. Emotion, passion and intensity were a strong mix of traits in his nature. His feelings were most likely very deep and possessed a keen intuitive sense along with them. He was strong at seeing under the surface, getting to the truth of matters and understanding the darker side of life. He could of had occult interests like astrology he was drawn towards.

As a father he may of been very protective and possessive. Showing a vulnerable side could of been his weakness. The plutonic side may of been strong; leading to issues with moodiness, jealous, manipulative behaviors and issues with power struggles. Trust issues could of been present in his character perhaps to the point of paranoia. Despite darker issues he was probably a very courageous and resourceful person. His loyalty was second to none and his role as father was taken with serious determination. He was dependable when a child had emergency situations and most likely was overprotective.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note the Sun can represent the father and any aspect to the sun can influence heavily their presence in the early development (and onward) years of life.

For the most part Sagittarius remains committed so upholding law and established codes since these concepts are ruled by Jupiter. This can include following a natural interest in religion as long as it's morals and code are just and honest. The same can be said for the rules and laws of society in which it is born into. It takes a serious disagreement with philosophies to cause Sagittarius Sun to break free and pursue it's own path. Since Sagittarius is such an honesty driven nature any kind of corruption can cause it to seek freedom and turn away established structures.

Jupiter's influence on the ego does not submit to any boundaries in the pursuit of finding something greater life has to offer.

\---(Lover of Freedom, Debate and Sharing Higher Truth)--

The Sagittarius is represented by the symbol of the half horse and half man with an archer bow. In ancient textbooks of astrology Sagittarius was simply ruled by the horse. The horse is fitting due to it's love of freedom and the open plains outdoors in which it can run openly to fulfill it's purpose. Very much aligned to Jupiter's needs for growth and expansion the horse loves to journey and be out in the world. The horse moving forward and free with speed and no shackles to experience is very much representative of Jupiter's needs.

The archer portion of Sagittarius rules over the the need to penetrate to the heart of matters. Sagittarius loves finding truth and will do anything to expose it; after-all Jupiter does rule over honesty. The honest nature can be very brutal to the core. Sagittarius loves to accept things at face value but will fight back with opinion when it does not agree. The archer loves to "make it's mark" simply by proving points. Sagittarius Sun is quite frankly a very opinionated sign due it's love of collecting information on a higher level; it has stores of knowledge to pull truth from. How it distributes this information can either catch the imagination and attention of people, or cause others to turn away and feel pressed upon unwillingly.

In the best of scenarios the Sagittarius Sun can make it's point by teaching and or publishing higher subjects that it took a great liking too. This teacher is a very fiery one with much passion and desire to raise the level of their students to their own. However in the worst of cases a Sagittarius Sun will combine the archer and horse into one. This energy can be capable of trampling someone who does not see things their way. By making it's mark to prove a point, a dogmatic nature can burn ravaged and out of control. In these scenarios the Jupiter energy will expand upon others and bring discomfort.

The Sun Sagittarius ego can have some issues born from ruling planet Jupiter's issue's pertaining to expansion. Over optimism can be an issue especially when it comes to failing to consider the scope of plans to accomplish a dream. Sometimes Jupiter makes the ego go two steps ahead and fail to see the small details to complete a process properly. If the over-sights prove to be very damaging impatience can overtake the Sagittarius Sun causing them to switch gears and move towards the next vision. Many projects are danger of being left incomplete. The fire nature of Jupiter may bring with it a lack of empathy as well. There can be issues connecting among others on a level of feeling. Being overly honest can also also come across to blunt which may attributed from the lack of empathy.

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature. Sun in Sagittarius shows a father with a larger then life outgoing Jupiter persona. His general character possessed an optimistic nature, humerus and quite jovial. Higher abstract thinking was a prime focus of his life. He most likely gravitated toward higher education, philosophy, religion and broad minded subjects. Morality was a central point of focus to him; as was honesty. An enthusiastic personality embodied his quite independent approach to life. Like lord Jupiter himself he was probably quite generous and a very giving person.

As a father he may of been a bit of an enigma because of the outgoing nature of Sagittarius. He may of valued his freedom so much that the parent child relationship could of suffered. This isn't always the case forever as the mutable energy of the sign has a tendency to grow into new roles; a father is no different. The father may find he enjoys being a teacher as a parent, going on adventures with or even playing sports with a child. Regardless of his personality he will certainly be a father that gives freedom as he himself enjoys it. His role will be to help a child grow into the fullest embodiment of the expansive nature of fire and the sun. Teaching practical lessons and financial acumen to children could of been a shortcoming of his.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note that aspects to the Sun can represent differences in the relationship with the father figure. The early development may of been dramatically different due to the influences which changed the perception of the developing inner consciousness.

Disappointing the parents expectations can feel like death; which Saturn in it's own merit represents. From an early age a strong work ethic can carry the ego through the feeling of inferiority of not being able to handle what is expected of them.

The insecurities of Capricorn can be born from the very fact that from the start success was seen as the ultimate goal of life. There was high expectations to build a foundation and structure from childhood most likely placed upon the The early upbringing;. The heaviness of this responsibility can lead to a feeling of always being up against the heaviness of reality.

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature. Sun in Capricorn can show a very down to earth father figure. He most likely embodied an independent, responsible and disciplined side to his character. Hard work was no chore to him; he understood the value of patience and getting good results in time. Most decisions he made in life were based upon a need to be self sufficient. He may of been widely recognized by the public, carried an air of status about him or received much praised for his talents.

As a father he must likely passed down the importance of being responsible. The importance of rational decisions was stressed. Unfortunately he may of not been one to encourage use of the imagination; which may of lead to a feeling of missing part of the childhood experience growing up. In some cases the father may of been a heavy disciplinarian and quite strict; which ensured adult like responsibilities were taken seriously from a young age in a child. He could of taught the values of financial security and may of even been very materialistic.

As a parent he may of been a perfectionist and been quite cold to emotional needs a child can have. His general character may of been a bit solitary, or at the least withdrawn and introverted. He may of been pessimistic and even suffered self defeating bouts of depression in his life. In some circumstances the father may of been really wrapped up in his career and reputation and neglected his fatherly duties.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note the Sun can represent the father and any aspect to the sun can influence heavily their presence in the early development (and onward) years of life.

Sun in Aquarius

When Sun is placed within the sign of Aquarius the core self is molded by both the mature and structure oriented nature of Saturn as well as the intellectual oriented temperament of Uranus. With two planetary bodies influencing the inner consciousness the internal world is full of complexities and depth. Aquarius is ruled by the air element which makes for a strong intellectual nature. The ego is infused with a logical, rational and opinionated approach to life. A masculine nature encompasses the core self which gives much desire to be apart of the world and make things happen. The fixed nature of Aquarius brings a motivated person which works to put it's ideas into action.

\---(The Debilitated Sun that is Quite Impersonal)--

The Sun in Aquarius, being opposite exalted Leo, is in it's debilitated state in astrology. The sun loves to function for the self and it's own personal gains. The concept of bolstering the ego is a very difficult task for Aquarius; as it's constitution resides in being affiliated with the welfare of others and society at large. The Saturn nature influences a heavy methodical and structure minded approach to life. Unlike the Capricorn side of Saturn, the desires are put forth toward the well being of the structure of society. The ego tends to be fixed on working for everyone else and can suffer in fulfilling it's own needs. This is the general underlying basis for the Suns debilitated nature of Aquarius.

\---(Intellectual, Logically Driven and Opinionated)--

The intellectual nature is geared towards ideas, opinions and concepts as the very core foundation of the Sun Aquarius. Since Aquarius is the last of the air signs it is the most intellectually developed and makes for a great observational nature. However being the last of the air signs comes with a cost; decisions can be slow due to a need to consider all options. Once an option is chosen great loyalty comes with decisions, beliefs and opinions. Aspirations are arrived at as goals are formed based off logical contemplation. The logical thinking nature can make for a detached approach to pursuits, which can actually help carry out goals. Emotions of the moment won't detract from the important choices which make less complications in thinking patterns. The only issue is a detached nature can seem like a lack of passion; but make no mistake the fixed nature helps carry out execution of ideas.

The intellectual nature of Aquarius Sun can make for a highly opinionated personality. The opinions may be subject to the fixed nature of the sign energy of Aquarius. Depending on the nature of Mercury in the chart opinions can be immovable once conclusions are drawn from personal observation. A superior intellectual nature can also develop where the the ego can take on a god like manifestation. Isolation from favored involvement with others can result due to a superior view away from social norms. In these cases people may see the Sun Aquarius as arrogant and on another plane of existence. Especially in group settings the ego may "rise to top" and the Aquarius Sun can believe it's intellectualism trumps all others input. The support of friends, groups and communities can suffer and aspirations and goals can be difficult to achieve if the ego gets overblown into arrogant territory.

The activity level of the Aquarius Sun can be subject to the wild erratic influence of Uranus. At points the output of efforts can be tremendous and quite spirited. Ideas may come in mass seemingly out of nowhere like a lighting bolt. During these times the appearance can be projecting a genius-like image through the thoughts, ideas and opinions that are turned out. Then , seemingly out of nowhere, the sudden calm of the storm can come and flatter out mental output. Aquarius Sun can lose interest in previously established ideas or desires. A reversal of direction of aspirations is not out of the question if a new idea suddenly strikes. During these times group efforts may be

left behind, possibly confusing peers and loved ones.

\---(Erratic Activity)--

The activity level of the Aquarius Sun can be subject to the wild erratic influence of Uranus. At points the output of efforts can be tremendous. Ideas may come in mass seemingly out of nowhere like a lighting bolt. During these times the appearance can be projecting a genius-like image through the thoughts, ideas and opinions that are turned out. Then , seemingly out of nowhere, the sudden calm of the storm can come. Aquarius Sun can lose interest in previously established ideas or desires. A reversal of direction of aspirations is not out of the question if a new idea suddenly strikes. During these times group efforts may be left behind, possibly confusing peers and loved ones.

\---(Friend and Group Oriented)--

Seeking out others with like minded thinking is a way Aquarius balance's it's ego and find's purpose in the world. Existing within the structures of communities sharing like minded interests promotes a sense of belonging the ego needs. Beyond communities The Aquarius Sun can seek friends, groups and social media functions as a means to fulfill the need for belonging to something greater then itself. When it comes to a career or work effort working for corporations can be a way ideas are valued to help make a living. Quite simply the Sun in Aquarius loves to be around others that align with personal goals and visions. The natural detached nature of air along with an amiable nature leads to being tolerant of others views points. When working in groups the Aquarius ego comes alive as it draws attention toward itself as others feel inspired by their ideas and tolerant nature.

\---(Wanting to Bring the Future to the Now)--

With Sun in Aquarius the planetary influence of Uranus brings a progressive future minded approach towards life. The core internal personality manifests through wanting to be involved in new future inspired concepts. Science and technology are interests that are a core pat of the inner self. New age advancements, technologies, computers and concepts like the internet are deeply rooted in the life of Aquarius Sun. Finding new ways to communicate, making new friends and being involved with group efforts is a key motivation in the interest of technology. New age technologies like social media helps share ideas which always keeps the intellectual side churning and keeps the ego

balanced. Technology like the internet is vital to helping churn the intellectual engine and engage Aquarius Sun mentally to help form opinions and thoughts on the world. Great interest in news websites or social media pertaining to world events can be had.

\---(The Radical Revolutionary)--

The Aquarius ego is one inspired towards a visionary nature credited to the influence of Uranus. The inner ego is one which can be affiliated with being a radical, revolutionary and being inspired towards freedom from establishments. Uranus loves freedom and distinguishing itself from the the greater whole. While being apart of society or group setting is important, so is making known what personal traits standout among others. When a part of a group setting the individualist side really comes out in force. The shift in personality can be startling and overwhelming at times, confusing others greatly. It can leave them wondering why a more distinctive authoritative side suddenly comes up from a group minded person. In the worst cases an arrogant side can want to control a group due to a belief of being superior in thought to others.

Uranus is known as a radical planet and brings a revolutionary side to the personality. While ruling planet Saturn loves structure, Aquarius is about structure on a larger level. While on a fundamental level the two planetary energies seem disconnected, Sun in Aquarius desires to merge these two forces together with a purpose. The key center of focus is tearing down preexisting structure, usually one which no longer serves a functional purpose. What is broken down then is taken, observed and reassembled into a new progressive functioning structure. This is how the future oriented minded Aquarius works to bring the future to the present day. It is all about merging current structure with spiritual ideals.

The interest in science and technology is a great tool that Aquarius uses to fulfill it's hopes and aspirations for life. Aquarius is known as the scientist for it's deep rooted interest in how things work. A naturally innovative side to the personality comes with the scientific influence of Uranus energy. Innovation desires can bring a scientific method type approach to interests that are pursued. Observation, disassembling things and trying to put them back together helps Aquarius understand how things work. Through the scientific process of observation flaws can be found that can be re-worked towards building better structures. Not only is the Aquarius Sun a scientific innovator in this way; but the term mad scientist can be attached to new age creations that are unorthodox and outside the realm of main stream.

\---(Lover of Spiritual Science)--

One of the major insignificant contributions planet Uranus brings to the Aquarius Sun ego is a spiritual essence. Aquarius is a spiritual energy but not one that is wrapped up in traditional established interests. Structured ideas like churches, cults and congregations are unappealing and give way to Aquarius new age spiritual concepts. The Aquarius Sun spiritual tendency follows a principle that people are spiritual beings. Everyone tends to fall in line with being viewed on an equal plane. Metaphysical sciences can be of a spiritual interest but certainly of an interest regardless of scientific involvement. Astrology is ruled by Uranus and the Sun Aquarius can find a deep interest in universal energies and the science of planetary energies influencing people. Else-wise metaphysics can be used for the intellectual need to understand how life functions.

Aquarius itself is ruled by symbol of the water bearer which represents bearing gifts of spiritual life to the world. Gifts are given through the element of air and the knowledge Aquarius is well known for. Being the last of the air zodiac signs, Aquarius has much wisdom and takes its gift of intellectual and spiritual understanding to society as a whole. The core self aspires to bring nourishment in the form of knowledge and spiritual guidance to fulfill aspirations to better the world. The Aquarius soul is a philanthropic and humanitarian soul which aspires to bring all of society up to an equal level. Spiritual views or Uranus tend to be backbone and motivation behind bearing the gifts of universal love to bring humanity to a better place.

\---(Politically Involved)--

The political arena is one area where Saturn and Uranus function best in a united purpose together. The working duo is best used in tandem with humanitarian energy which Aquarius by nature is drawn too. Politics can be used as a tool to help mankind come to a new age; one in which the future and spiritual comes to the present society structures. Since Aquarius aspires toward connecting with the world and understanding complexities, it's efforts in this area can support the desire to improve the world through political involvement. Aquarius is a natural observer of events over the course of history, thus the inner self can understand the needs of the masses based upon history. The progressive instincts and intellectual thinking can help create ideas that solve problems of the masses with political involvement.

Inspiration from the humanitarian side leads to wanting to improve the perception of

social norms and bring recognition to all citizens. Unlike Saturn with Capricorn , which wants to build the recognition for self, the need is now towards admiring individuals for their uniqueness. Admiring everyone's individual nature is pursued through human rights involvement and activism up-takings. The humanitarian instinct of Aquarius is applied in ways of helping helping lower class people in society; this is due to the fact that ruling planet Saturn itself represents working for "lower class people." Volunteering, helping the poor, working in aforementioned politics or bringing recognition towards inequality are viable ways Aquarius works through Saturn to bring a better structure to society for everyone.

\---(Aquarius Sun and the Early Experience and Perception of the Father)--

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature. Sun in Aquarius can show the father was most likely a natural intellectual and air inspired individual. Scientific and logical minded thinking patterns embodied his character. He may of been a person who was a bit impersonal and probably detached. The relationship with the Father may of lacked deep nurturing a traditional child/father relationship embodies. A natural humanitarian attitude and a progressive attitude may of made him very spiritual, liberal and believer in equality for all. Most likely he lived life with many friends, group involvements and may of been into politics.

The father child relationship could of been one centered on friendships traits. Generally the more in common that is shared the more bonding that was shared. This kind of father child relationship may get better with age; especially if both are involved in similar community or share aspirations and goals. He may of lacked nurturing skills and failed to understand emotional ramifications of actions. An arrogant intellectual nature coming from his high amounts of wisdom may of strained the parent child relationship. He could of seemed like a no it all and been very stubborn and impossible to sway. At points the fathers humanitarian interests may of been so deep the child may of felt neglected and failed to be admired for his needs or uniqueness.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note that aspects to the Sun can represent differences in the relationship with the father figure. The early development may of been dramatically different due to the influences which changed the perception of the developing inner consciousness.

Sun in Pisces

When sun is located in the sign of Pisces the core self is molded by a spiritual calling, imagination, compassion and oft hazy nature of Neptune along with the spiritual and hopeful nature of Jupiter. Two planetary bodies influencing the ego brings the internal world a girth of depth. Pisces is the last sign of the horoscope, and natural ruler of the 12th house, making this the deepest sign of the zodiac. The sign Pisces is ruled by the element of water which signifies the foundation of the depth comes through emotions. The feminine nature of Pisces makes the inner world quite introverted and receptive to life around it. The core self, like ruling Neptune, tends to be very dreamy, idealistic and compassionate and prone to appearing from another planet altogether.

\---(The Loss Of the Physical World)---

Sun in Pisces shows the soul comes into the world having achieved and experienced the culmination of all of the zodiac energies. Pisces brings the soul a loss of desire of the physical world and it's pleasures due to it's culmination of dealing with all life has to offer. Through the experience of karma of the entire zodiac; all of the battles of achieving what the other signs represent is ingrained into the core inner world. This can bring a disconnect and sense of "been there, done that" with relations of the physical world. In this lifetime the soul looks to connect with something greater then the physical world; it aims to understand the inner self and it's relationship to the spiritual realm. This is a very difficult task as the soul is asked to identify on the inside with what is not tangible, but still maintain a physical relationship with the world it's born into.

\---(Pulled in Two Directions)---

The root of the struggles a Pisces soul is embodied with is signified by it's astrological symbolism. The Pisces Sun is ruled by the symbol of the fish going in two opposite directions. The symbolism remarkably represents a complex side to the personality which no other zodiac energy matches. The Pisces energy is widely known as one with two distinct sides to it. Going with the flow certainly encapsulates the easy going side of the Pisces nature and one that is compassionate, spiritual and creative. The flip side represents the fish going the opposite direction against the flow; one where everything is made difficult by choices that hinder an easy flow through life. Either path followed can be influenced from a young age; but it may also may not be uncommon that both sides of Pisces can occur during a lifetime. This battle of being pulled in two directions is rooted in greatest combat a soul can engage in; the physical world versus the spiritual.

\---(The Spiritual Influence)---

The Pisces souls most defined trait is a spiritual understanding that all of life created is developing towards a higher understanding of self. For this reason the path of spiritual is main focus and one be stressful and pull the self in two different directions. The free flowing spiritual side finds connecting with the inner self through meditation helps find the truest path to the inner self away from outside influence. Spiritual enlightenment comes from finding things hidden hidden where others cannot impact them. The calling of Sun in Pisces is to work towards this great realm of what is not tangible and in the depths. A heavily inspired spiritual nature coming from the essence of Jupiter and Neptune is a way the ego connects with true purpose. The greater wisdom of Jupiter brings an understanding of the vastness of things greater then the physical material world.

Spiritual experiences can be found from many ways ranging from music, meditation or finding a spot in nature that resonates with the soul. Any of these are examples of means to connect with universal energies of spirituality which are intangible. Raising to a higher state of conscious is certainly a desired interest, but the ambition conflicts with the reality of the physical existence on Earth. That in itself is where the inner world can push against itself and cause a sensation of inner hollowness or personal loss. Spiritually the Pisces Sun also has a mystical side to the personality which can can be quite pronounced. The mystical realms bring a gift of potentially connecting with that which is unseen. Neptune's rule can bring the personality a great sense of intuition and psychic gifts which come through the influence of the element water. Interest in esoteric healing and astrology can be second nature.

\---(Empathetic and Compassionate)---

In a more pronounced evolved side of Pisces a high amount of empathy and unconditional love can be shown. Neptune's grace makes the core self a master of picking up emotions through intuitive talents. The empathetic and intuitive nature is an extension of the spiritual nature of both Jupiter and Neptune which allows for absorbing feelings and bringing nurturing to what others need. Showing compassion and being openly accommodating based on what is intuitively sensed make Pisces highly personable and likable. The great empathy shared towards others can make for a talent of making the suffering feel better. Often humanitarian pursuits and volunteering are pursue as long as positive spiritual direction is had. Others can find this type of personality to be a great mystical healer or a spiritual guru who accepts beyond the limitations of societies perceptions.

The inner Pisces soul connects with the idea of true love due to it's strong spiritual nature. The Pisces Sun becomes an instigator of self sacrifice in order to bring others to a better place and show compassion. Romance tends to be a real draw as it can be seen the all encompassing need of wrapping oneself around something both emotionally and spiritually. Giving oneself to another can have almost a fairy tale like desire, where merging with another is the deepest form of love and commitment water element years for. Being of service to others tends to be a way to show others true love and forgiveness in a the higher spiritual calling.

With a need to show love combined with a highly strung emotional soul calling it is possible relationships can be a source of addiction to attain the bonding feeling the water element years for. Unfortunately the mutable nature of Pisces can find the ego taking on the wants and needs of a potential partner in order to be merged with another. The danger is the personal needs are not met leading to lack of satisfaction in relationships or possibly secret romantic encounters to find fulfillment. A tendency to over idealize from fairy tale desires can lead to attaching to partners who take advantage of compassion. There is always the danger the soul with Pisces is drained by an energy vampire for all of the good they have to give.

\---(Extremely Imaginative)---

The internal consciousness of the Sun in Pisces is one which is based upon the imagination heavily. Neptune's otherworldly nature can make for a complex dream world, full of fantasy and elements not of Earth. A creative nature can be born from the imagination as a visionary nature embodies the personality. The need to bring physical form to that which has none can bring artistic interest. Since Neptunian is the higher form of planet Venus anything creative and put forth into action is positive for the soul's express in Pisces. In a sense art is a way to bring that which is intangible into existence and involvement brings the ego strong purpose.

The ego of the Pisces sun feels the most balance in life when the imagination is allowed to flourish. Creatively expression can come through any one of many art forms that are appealing to Neptune. Creative writing, poetry, photography and music are of many examples of expressing the imagination that can be of interest. Physical creative arts like dancing or acting can be joyful as well. Other physical forms of creativity like Magic cane of of interest since Neptune rules illusion. Negative pursuits or creative expression are always possible as well including using Neptune's delusional nature to be creative in lying or deception. Any form of creative expression where emotions and creativity can be bonded together in a positive expression brings inner balance and sense of direction. When allowed to embellish in creative pursuits the sun shines very bring in Pisces; even through Neptune's murky and hazy aura.

\---(Highly Adaptable and Easily Influenced)---

The Sun in Pisces is easily influenced and highly adapting to the environment. The direction taken in life can be subject to the influence of stimulation in the immediate area. The mutable nature of Pisces shows a great receptiveness to the world around it. The natural mutable nature of the sign makes for being a master of change which is heavy influenced by the outside world. Depending on the environment Pisces Sun can morph itself to suit the expectations to fit in with others. Neptune's deceptive nature at work can make natural acting ability in this way. Like a chameleon, the environment is absorbed so the ego can flow and be accepted among peers.

On a personal level the Pisces ego can struggle to differentiate where the self begins and the influence of others kicks in. The Pisces soul is very much under the entrapping influence by external forces for better or worse. For those that come to know this soul best a sense of mystery can always surround whether one is seeing the real or a facade. Deep downside the Pisces Sun can have a real inner world that is unlike anything they show on the outside. Suffering with a sense of loss or loneliness could be a problem, especially if pulled to directions that the true soul does not resonate with. Those the core self chooses to identify and surround oneself with can be pivotal in the spiritual development the soul years for.

\---(Head in the Clouds)---

The Sun in Pisces tends to make for a passive living existence. Generating forward direction in life can be very difficult unless others parts of the chart generate an ambitious side. The Neptune influence on the ego can bring issues dealing directly with reality. Daydreaming can be a way Pisces Sun can connect with it's inner world when reality becomes to much to bare. Since knowing ambitions and direction can appear a constant haze, escaping reality can serve as a means to avoid the anxieties and confusion Neptune combats with when it comes to the real tangible world.

Neptune brings the ego issues with confusion even to the point of not knowing one's true direction under it's own needs. The hazy nature of Neptune can cause a feeling of loss of pertaining to personal direction. Neptune's haziness can even bring projection of an image of existing on other planes; mostly outside the existing realm of the physical world. Figuring out the ambitions can always be up in the air and subject to surrounding environmental factors. The waters of life can sweep Sun in Pisces into whatever direction that is called for at a time. For better or worse the direction chosen is always dependent on the surrounding environment.

\---(The Self Undoing Nature)---

When a sense of overwhelming entrapment consumes the Pisces soul a self-undoing side can trigger which encourages escape from reality. Escaping through life can come through TV, movies, video games, music, reading or drugs or alcohol. Sun Pisces tends to go with tides of emotion and can lead to an addictive personality based on where feelings guide. Since Pisces is so strong at going with the flow addictions can be hard to break. The addictive personality can encompass the personality which makes it difficult to let go of bad habits. Addictive tendencies can be targeted to specifically bring the highest and highs to ride on. The highs unfortunately can be matched by equal lows due to the moody nature of water. Consistency can be a real problem. Neptune's deceptive nature can also cloud reality which makes it difficult for seeing things as they really are. Seeing addiction for what it is can be near impossible.

\---(Lover of nature)---

Escaping reality does not have to embody only negative manifestations. The influence of Neptune and Jupiter on the core self can bring an enjoyment of getting away from reality through nature related activities. Since Pisces is a water element naturally the ocean, rivers and lakes can be places that are enjoyed. The Jupiter inspired rule over Pisces can bring an enjoyment of being in spiritually mystical places like forests and among the trees. Nature can be a place essentially spiritually is a place to escape to meditate to help calm the self and re-balance the ego. As aforementioned escaping reality can also come through being creative and summoning the imagination.

\---(Pisces Sun and the Early Experience and Perception of the Father)---

The Sun is the significator of the Father and his general nature in astrology. With Sun in Pisces the fathers personality was ruled over by Neptune and Jupiter. His personality as a person could of been quite compassionate, accepting and idealistic. Gentle, considerate and soft by nature; affection came easy to him and embodied a loving image. An air of innocence from the Neptune side of his personality made him quite imaginative. Creativity was a strong suit for him, namely music and probably vision minded concepts. He may of enjoyed hobbies like video games movies, TV and maybe even drugs or alcohol to escape from reality. The natures of Neptune and Jupiter combined could of made him quite a spiritual person. He may of been a person who longed to belong to something greater then himself.

The father's strongly compassionate nature may lead to a gullible nature. He may of been moody, confused and had a unrealistic view of life. Father may of even suffered depression or been a loner. Disciple wasn't his strong suit and may of been the type of father to let his children get away with anything. His loving nature may of been so giving he chose to spoil instead of letting children learn the value of hard work and earning. Offering his children freedom was natural to him and it may of led to the child's greater creative side blossoming. He may of feared being a bad parent and times he came up short may of led to him feeling great personal guilty. These shortcomings may of led to him being disconnected and withdrawn as a parent. Sometimes he may of been absent altogether if the guilt was strong enough.

Worth nothing is that the core ego and willful drive ruled by the sun, while fixed, can be subject to modification by other planetary influences. The rest of the chart needs to be studied in order to determine if other planets are burned or eclipsed by the Sun. These scenarios can modify the ambitious drive or the nature of how the ego is molded. It is important to note that aspects to the Sun can represent differences in the relationship with the father figure. The early development may of been dramatically different due to the influences which changed the perception of the developing inner consciousness.
