Just as the Sun is the centre of the Earth's Solar System, so does the Sun play a vital role in
your life on earth. Your life goals are linked to your Sun – its zodiac sign and its position in
your chart. Contrary to popular belief, the Sun isn't the only planet to be considered in a
person's chart, but it is an important component. The Sun gives you an indication of how you
can shine in your life. You will feel truly alive when you're living the traits indicated by your
Sun. Therefore it's likely that you will spend much of your life on a journey to self discovery,
aiming to incorporate these traits into your life. Understanding the energy of your Sun is a
good starting point to understanding yourself and your purpose in life.
The Sun is in Virgo
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Virgo indicating that you're an analytical person with a keen
mind, and will enjoy paying attention to detail. In fact you enjoy anything which requires
close analysis ranging from pastimes such as mind-bending puzzles to more demanding work
such as cataloguing data and scientific research. You excel in areas that demand
concentration, organisation and rational thought. You love order, particularly in your daily
life. This can include anything from an organised household to a properly-planned social
calendar. Your loved ones will often rely on your organisational abilities, and these qualities
may extend into your working life where others will come to appreciate your executive
abilities. Hygiene will also be of importance to you, as you've an excellent understanding of
the need to take care of your body, and the importance of a healthy mind and a healthy body.
"Cleanliness is next to godliness" may be a motto which rings a bell. You need to take care
not to become too fussy, otherwise you may find that you become intolerant and critical of
yourself and those around you. You would do well to remind yourself of the bigger picture
every now and then so that you don't become too entrenched in insignificant details.
The Sun is in the Second House
Your Sun is in the second house of your birth chart meaning that you're the sort of person
who spends much of your life exploring your personal values. It's important for you to have a
set of values by which you can judge your own and others' lives, as long as you don't become
too critical when either you or others fail to live up to your expectations. If you're too critical
then you will find that your self-esteem suffers, as you worry about your own failures or
others become fed up with your harsh attitude. In fact your self-esteem may also be tied up
with your ability to handle your finances. Money, and the pleasures that it can afford, are
attractive to you. You may expend much of your time and energy earning money in order to
build yourself up, or to buy possessions that help you feel secure. The challenge is to value
yourself no matter what are your external circumstances. However you're likely to benefit
financially through generous benefactors, possibly your father or a member of your father's
side of the family. You could also benefit financially through a career as a government
official.
The Sun is Conjunct Mars
The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard
working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive
attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and
waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life,
particularly ones that satisfy
your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation
comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those
who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a
solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some
patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a
successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising
nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving
your life goals.
The Sun is Square Neptune
Your lack of confidence is likely to stand in your way in achieving your life goals. This is
because the Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Neptune in your birth chart. You're
a sympathetic and kind person, but you're apt to be overwhelmed by the injustices of the
world. As a result you lose sight of your goals and become confused about your direction.
It's also possible that you allow other people to tell you how to live your life. You're so eager
to please others, that you find it difficult to assert your own rights and beliefs. At times like
these you may benefit from moments of quiet reflection, or meditation, which enable you to
develop an ability to rely on your own inner resources. It's possible that your confusion stems
from childhood experience with your father, or a father figure. Perhaps this person was weak
or ill and unable to support your development, or perhaps the death or absence of a father
strongly influenced your life. Either way the result is that you've difficulty finding a firm
footing on which to base your life as an adult. Your challenge is to learn to trust your own
intuition, and to use your artistic and sensitive nature for the benefit of other people without
losing yourself.
The planet Jupiter also tells you about your goals in life, in particular the areas in which you
are likely to succeed. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance and wisdom. Ancient
astrologers believed that the planet Jupiter had a greatly beneficial effect on a person's life.
Jupiter is in Sagittarius
You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius in your birth chart indicating that
you've a love of life which is infectious and a blessing to all who come in contact with you.
You're an open and generous person, fond of seeing the lighter side of life. Your sense of
humour stands you in good stead throughout your life. Other people admire your positive
outlook and enjoy spending time in your company, as well as offering you favours. You love
adventure of all kinds whether it be travelling around your own country or to distant shores.
You particularly enjoy exploring different cultures and religions, either through academic
study or travelling abroad. Your thirst for knowledge sometimes seems insatiable. Although
you're a perennial student, you also enjoy sharing your knowledge with other people through
writing or teaching. In fact you can be an inspirational teacher. You may also be fond of
sport, particularly adventurous sports. The planet Jupiter is considered to be particularly
favoured in the sign of Sagittarius and therefore you're likely to have success in whatever
avenue you undertake.
Jupiter is in the Sixth House
Jupiter is also in the sixth house of your chart signifying that you certainly know how to liven
up a dull day, even if it does mean re-scheduling a few commitments and shaking up other
people's routines. You like to live each day to the full, ignoring the rigours of "should" and
"have to" in favour of comfort and fun. You're full of boundless energy and tend to complete
the mundane jobs in a flurry of activity so that the rest of the day can be enjoyed in other
ways. Fortunately you're usually healthy and your body is quite resilient, which means you've
lots of energy for filling your day with fun-filled projects. You can achieve quite a lot in one
day. Work and fun often mean the same thing to you, with you spending much of your time
on the job. Mostly this isn't a problem as you enjoy your work and can make a good income,
but you need to be careful not to overdo things. It's also possible that your work is linked to
your own personal and spiritual beliefs, and these may be associated with caring for other
people. You enjoy employment that gives you plenty of freedom to set your own goals, a job
that doesn't tie you to a desk but involves some travel.
Jupiter is Opposite Saturn
You can succeed in achieving your life goals, but only after you've learnt to balance the
conventional and unorthodox sides of your nature. This is because the planets Jupiter and
Saturn are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart. There is a dissident side to your
nature, which you've difficulty keeping under control. Unrestrained enthusiasm can lead you
into trouble. At other times there's an orthodox side which is overly cautious, causing you
to hesitate unnecessarily when action is required. Finding the right balance is hard work.
Generally speaking you're a poor judge of when to take action and when to wait patiently. As
a result you're likely to suffer financial loss if speculating in the business or financial world.
You would also do well, if possible, to steer clear of lawsuits. On a positive note when you
can blend the two opposing forces you're capable of great things. You can enjoy success in
self-employment or be a valued member of a team, particularly in the business world. Once a
balance is achieved you're sure of achieving your objectives in life.
Jupiter is Square Pluto
The planets Jupiter and Pluto are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart indicating that
you've some difficulty achieving your life goals, but you will get to where you want in the
end. The problem is that you reject the usual paths to success, believing that you've a better
way of doing things. Your attempts to change the rules, or to try to make others agree with
your insights, are sincere, but intrusive. As a result you often land yourself in troublesome
situations, which can lead to disillusionment and distract you from your purpose. This can
dent your confidence. You range from over confidence to completely lacking in confidence.
The truth lies somewhere in between. Society has rules to run itself efficiently, and these can
be to your benefit rather than detriment. Once you accept your own and society's limitations
then you can achieve your objectives.
