The Sun is astronomically a star, but in astrology it is traditionally treated as one of the two Luminaries, together with the Moon, and as a central chart factor. Symbolically, the Sun is associated with identity, vitality, purpose, confidence, creative expression, and the conscious development of self. Its Sign describes a characteristic style of expression, while its Aspects show how it relates to other chart factors. When an exact birth time is available, its House placement adds context for where these themes may become especially active. Within Zodiacology, the Sun is interpreted as one part of Your Zodiacal Configuration, not as a complete description of the person.
