Sun
The Self
The sun is a star, not a planet, and is at the center of our Solar System. It represents the core essence of an individual's identity and vitality. Positively, it radiates confidence, self-expression, and a strong sense of purpose. However, the solar influence can lead to issues of ego, arrogance, or a tendency to dominate. To handle the Sun effectively, embrace authenticity, cultivate humility, and recognize the interconnectedness of all individuals. Balancing self-expression with an awareness of others ensures that the positive attributes of the Sun contribute to personal growth and positive interactions.

In Greek mythology, Helios was the personification of the sun. He was often depicted as a handsome charioteer driving a golden chariot across the sky, bringing daylight to the world. One of the most famous stories involving Helios is that of his son Phaethon. Phaethon, desiring to prove his divine lineage, persuaded his father to let him drive the sun chariot for a day. However, he lost control of the horses, causing great havoc and threatening to scorch the Earth. To prevent further disaster, Zeus struck Phaethon down with a lightning bolt. Helios' role as the sun god represented the life-giving and illuminating force of the sun, essential for all living beings. His myth highlights the powerful and sometimes uncontrollable nature of the sun's energy.
