Sun: The Divine Child, Hero & King
The Sun provides both warmth and light - the life-bestowing heart of our solar system. Psychologically the Sun corresponds to our deeper Self. Just as the Sun sits at the centre of the solar system, the Self resides at the core of our being. The realisation of our creative potential represents a key process in our psychological development. This is the hero’s journey – a universal passage of development to be found throughout all cultures.
Sun in the 1st House
Representing the core of our personality, the Sun’s house placement describes where and how we find ourselves.
Any planet that is placed in the first house tends to be easily recognised. In the case of the Sun, the person will readily identify with their Sun sign.
A first house Sun indicates a need to focus on one’s own development. Self-discovery is a result of pursuing one’s personal goals. The individual finds themselves through the challenges they take on. Their self-worth is gauged by their achievements and what they do.
