From the point of view of a person on Earth, for a year the Sun goes around the planet in a circle, spending a month in the area of each zodiacal constellation. Accordingly, the sign in which the Sun was at the time of your birth is called the zodiac sign.
The meaning of the Sun in astrology
The Sun is the most powerful astrological planet (of course, it is a star, but in the astrological tradition it is customary to designate it as a planet). It gives people energy, warmth, life, food and ensures the very existence of the Earth. It is the Sun that has the most powerful influence on the horoscope, determining your character and how others see you. The position of the Sun in relation to other planets in your horoscope affects the formation of personality.
The zodiac sign describes a person as a whole, speaks of his most characteristic features. Some people say about themselves that the description of the zodiac sign does not match their nature very well, this may be caused by the position of the moon and other planets in the horoscope.
The moon is the second most important planet (traditionally, the satellite of the Earth in astrology is also considered a planet). She "bypasses" all the signs of the zodiac, like other celestial bodies taken into account when drawing up a horoscope. Accordingly, character traits are determined by the position of all planets relative to each other and the signs of the zodiac.
If, for example, a person has the Sun in Pisces, but at the same time all other planets are grouped in Aquarius or Capricorn, the character of this person may be quite different from that typical for Pisces. Sometimes, due to personal characteristics, the influence of the Moon on the horoscope can be very strong, especially if it is in opposition to the Sun (shifted 180 degrees relative to it). Similar horoscopes can be seen in creative, complex natures, full of contradictions. It is the opposition of the Moon to the Sun that explains why some Libra behave like Aries and Capricorns like Cancer.
Astrology is an exact science
Only a careful study of the astrological birth chart as a whole allows the astrologer to create a "complete picture of the personality." A good specialist goes from general to specific, first studying the position of the Sun in the horoscope, then the position of other planets, and only then their relationship with each other.
Astrological information can be useful not only for making acquaintances (although this is one of the easiest ways), but also in close relationships. Knowing the zodiac signs of close people, you can at least roughly understand the motivation of certain actions that they perform. General information about the signs of the zodiac allows you to draw up a rough picture of the world, simplify and generalize it. Of course, all people are different, but there are traits that unite them. The sun in a particular sign is one of them.
