Clearly the most important astral body in our solar system, called a planet from days of old derived from previous ideas within astrology. Previously it was believed that all of the planets sent out light and that the Sun was the strongest. That the other planets revolve around the Sun and not around the earth were also unknown. True in any case within the cultures of antiquity.

In the same way as the planets revolve around the Sun; the planets astrological positions revolve around the Sun position. The Suns astrological position is the most important one in the horoscope, and it is the suns position that people most often associate with Horoscopes. It is the Sun that we begin with when reading persons identity and life energy. The sun symbolizes consciousness and lays the ground for the personality.

The other planets are viewed with the Sun as the origination point. Where the subconscious mind springs from the Moon, so the Sun is the conscious opposite poll standing for free will and innermost intentions. Regarding time aspects the Suns bares influence on the present moment, "the now", where the other planets first and foremost symbolize future opportunities, desires and feelings.

A strongly positioned Sun in a horoscope indicates strong self-realization, strength and courage. Yet with only strength and bravery it is hard to succeed with anything, in the horoscope there must also be other energies from other planets.
