In our solar system, the sun is center—the source of our energy and the guiding force season through season. Similarly, the Sun in your chart is the center of your identity, guiding aspirations and defining selfhood.   The Sun lines all share a theme of ego. How we define who we are.

Polarities: In the light of the Sun you may find confidence, recognition, and abundant potential to achieve personal greatness. In its shadow is the underpinning of pride, a need for validation, and the potential for arrogance and oversight.

ASC

On the ascendant line, your sun shines outwardly, collecting admirers as you sift through different iterations of your most suited self. Ascendant sun lines are the place to be seen, specifically for the characteristics you express outwardly. 

DSC

Here partnership is under the focus of the sun’s rays. On the sun’s descendant line, your relationships with others illuminate and develop your sense of self. Interpersonal dynamics call your attention to where you lead, where your power lies, and how you distinguish between “Me” and “We”.

IC

The Imum Coeli is the Sun’s midnight position. At this place in your chart, the sun sits in darkness; the private, reflective darkness of the inner world. This is where you find inner power and authority, take on spiritual growth milestones, and decide how to define the Self. These places encourage a deep dive into ancestry, heritage, and the things that have shaped who you are up to this point so that you can reconcile them with what you decide to be going forward. 

MC

The midheaven line of the Sun is all about your highest potential and social status. There’s a push here to achieve and the line itself rewards your dedication, near obsession for your ambitions, with a recognition of your career goals by people around you.
