THERE IS MUCH MORE TO ASTROLOGY THAN YOUR SUN SIGN

Nearly everyone knows their Sun sign (the Zodiac sign they were born under), but did you know that in astrology it runs much deeper than your sun sign? 

 

Some individuals are born on the cusp of the previous or next sign, depending on what day you were born.  Those born under these circumstances are known as cusp sign sun personalities.  They carry traits of both the sign they were born under and the second cusping sign.

 

The Sun has an orb of influence of 16°, and every sign encompasses 30°.  For example, if your Sun was at 1° Aquarius, you would have 9° Aquarius and 7° Capricorn tendencies (because the sun sign prior to Aquarius is Capricorn).  Another example would be if your Sun was at 29° Aquarius, you would have 9° Aquarius and 7° Pisces (because the sun sign after Aquarius is Pisces). 

 

The Sun sign defines who we are internally and those that know us well can relate to the inner Sun sign character traits. (Our outside personality or the personality we show to the world, is defined by our Ascendant, also known as the Rising Sign.  But this will be discussed a little later.)

 

We also have our Moon which also has its own sign. The Moon’s sign in our chart also has a 30° range.  The Moon represents our emotional response and the feelings we have about life in general.  The Moon is our emotions, our sensitivity and our way of dealing with the world through our emotional response.  For example, if you have the Moon in Cancer, you are very sensitive to your environment, family concerns are an important part of what you relate to and your response to sensitive issues is an emotional one.  Cancer tries to keep the emotions intact, but it’s not easy and sometimes they just surface no matter how hard the Cancer Moon tries to bury them. 

 

On the contrary, if you have your Moon in Capricorn, your emotional response to life situations is kept totally under control, and you seem to be well contained when it comes to emotional outbursts of expression. The lack of showing emotion, however, only masks hidden emotions.

 

We also have what is known as our rising sign or Ascendant as mentioned earlier. The rising sign is our reaction or statement that we show to the world, especially when we first meet people and face experiences in the external world.  In many cases, the rising sign is also suggestive of how we look and our body shape, although with so many now using medical procedures to change their appearance, it is not as accurate as it was years ago. 

 

Our external expression to the world with an Aries Rising sign would be quite different from say a Scorpio Ascendant.  The Aries Rising personality is outgoing, confident and in some cases, rather pushy. Aries want things to take place immediately, while the Scorpio Ascendant personality is much more reserved and tends to listen before they speak. Others seem to pay attention to a Scorpio Rising individual when they speak.  Aries are very out-front and open, while Scorpio has a more hidden, secretive persona to the outside world.  Quite often there is something mysterious about a Scorpio Rising sign.

 

We also have Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto located within the framework of our birth chart as well as part of fortune, moon’s nodes, asteroids, chiron and the list goes on.  The birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens the instant we were born with all of the planets surrounding the earth which would be in the center of the 360° circle what represents our chart diagram.  The circle is divided into 12 sections which are known as the houses and each house represents an area of life.  The planets at birth are located in these houses and their particular energies are released into areas of life and traverse (transits) with our life as we move forward from our birth.

 

Astrology runs much deeper than our quick little description in this article, but we were thinking of those with a new interest in Astrology. We thought we would provide some insight into the workings of Astrology.  The natal or birth chart speaks of our personality and our strengths and challenges.

 

Astrology can also be used as a timing device for ongoing energies in place in our personal life experiences and for so much more.

 

There is much more to Astrology than your sun sign.  It is an endless study and such a valuable tool.  With the proper tools, we can accomplish and/or overcome anything in life. Astrology offers insights to assist with your choices!

SUN IN VIRGO 2026

The Sun moves into the sign of Virgo on August 22, 2026. 

 

If your Sun is between 1” and 9° 59” in the sign of Virgo, you are considered a double Virgo.  If your Sun is between 10° and 19° 59” Virgo, you are a Virgo and will have some Capricorn tendencies, and if your Sun is between 20° and 29° 59” Virgo, you are in the 3^rd decan (or decanate) and will also have some Taurus tendencies.  These are the three decans of Virgo (as with all signs) and the house placement of your Sun will also be influenced by the natural ruler of the house in which it resides. 

 

This is a perfect example of why some Virgoans identify strongly with Virgo tendencies (example Sun at 1° Virgo and in the 6^th house) and others do not (example Sun at 12° Virgo in the 4^th house).  The Ascendant and our Moon signs also have an impact on our personality. 

 

Regardless of where the Sun is placed by degree and house placement, the Sun, which is your inner personality and always represents us well, constantly holds prominence in the chart, especially the way a person is internally.  We identify with our Sun sign even though some might not agree with this statement.

 

Virgoan individuals seek perfection.  They like to have their house in order, so to speak and if by chance it is not in order, then you know there are some internal issues going on. 

 

Virgoans see the flaws in the world around them and within themselves as well.  They can be nitpicky because of this and look to correct these issues. 

 

The average Virgo is dependable, structured, organized, usually quite polite and they are efficient at what they do.

 

Virgo is a Mutable, Earth sign suggesting that these individuals strive to build something worthwhile in their lives.  They are practical and adaptable and, in most cases, do not like change.  Many are quite health conscious and look after themselves through proper diet, weight control and hygiene.  For most Virgoans, exercise or a somewhat vigorous lifestyle is what they seek.  Usually, they like to keep themselves busy and have relatively high standards from themselves.

 

Many Virgo individuals can bend with life’s circumstances.  They are pliable and often resilient and want to rectify any situation that needs adjusting.  Much goes on behind the scenes on internal level, and the mind is quite busy as Mercury is their ruling planet. Much will depend on how Mercury is aspected in the birth chart, however, and the sign and house that it resides in.

 

Currently the outer planets (Pluto, Uranus and Neptune) are in the early degrees in their respective signs.  Our next astrology post will touch on how these powerful planets might be influencing the Sun in Virgo individual during the upcoming year. 

 

Happy solar return to our reliable, diligent, curious, detailed, perfection seeking, “I Analyze” Virgo readers.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUN IN OUR NATAL CHART

It is said that you can tell quite a bit about an individual just by the Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the birth chart (natal astrology chart). 

 

The Sun reveals who we are on an internal level.  Much will depend on the aspect configurations connected to the sun and the house that it resides in.  However, we all carry much of our inner personality from the influence of the Sun.

 

The Sun also represents the father figure in our life while the Moon represents the mother or nurturing figure. Once again, you must take into consideration the aspects and the house placements of both to get more details on the energies. 

 

The Sun is representative of our goals in life.  There is a huge difference between someone who has their Sun in Aries and someone who has their Sun in Pisces.  Both have completely different paths in life, although they do share the fact that growth is important. With Pisces growth would be through service and spiritual advancement. With Aries, growth comes either through exploration or experience. Aries advancement in pursuits are on a more aggressive manner, or through lessons learned due to failure due to wanting things to take place quickly.

 

The Sun along with the North Node points towards our destiny and the way we will move forward to reach our summit.  Will we move forward in an unusual, eccentric and humanitarian manner (Aquarius) or through secret, internal transformations that might be considered taboo (Scorpio)?

 

The house placement is extremely important as we get a mixture of character traits depending on which house our Sun resides in.  Will we pursue life through communication techniques and teachings (Gemini/3^rd house), or will we pursue life through material advancement and goals that push us to the very top of our objectives especially in our career (Capricorn/10^th house)?

 

The Sun can determine what our health is like.  Is it robust because of influences from Jupiter and is it well aspected by the Ascendant and Mars?

 

Does the Sun have trines to Pluto which offers the potential for powerful regenerative capabilities? 

 

Is the Sun poorly aspected especially by the outer planets, and does it have negative implications from the Ascendant, the sixth and/or twelfth houses?

 

We can learn to adapt if the latter example is the case, although knowing this will help us and make us pay closer attention to our health.

 

Jupiter on the Ascendant can speak of gaining weight and Mars can speak of a fight for survival especially if challenged and close to the Ascendant. 

 

The whole chart must be carefully studied to obtain a clear and concise health analysis. 

 

Mercury must also be applied when reviewing the chart potential by the influence of the Sun as Mercury rules our pattern of thinking and will help define the potential Sun character traits, especially through the way we communicate.

 

Aspects from the Sun to other planets and angles will help define who we are and the way we express our uniqueness. 

 

We must also consider the decants as they will also color the kind of person we are.  Each sign is divided into 3 decants. Each decant is 10°, and are contained within the same element (Air, Water, Fire and Earth). The first 9° 59” would be a double Sun sign emphasis.

 

The influence of the Sun in our natal chart reflects our core self, our ego, our purpose in life, and so much more. The Sun is important, but we are so much more than just our Sun sign.

 

As we can see, the Sun sign is extremely important when it comes to who we are, and in this article we are just touching on the relevance of this extremely important energy in our Natal makeup.

SUN IN TAURUS 2026

The sun moves into the sign of Taurus on April 20, 2026.

 

Some of the general traits of a typical Taurus Sun individual include patience, perseverance and reliability.  They seem to have a no-nonsense approach to life, realizing that it takes hard work and a diligent effort to achieve the goals they set.  They know that it takes time, and this is where patience and perseverance come into play. 

 

Most Taureans are considered efficient, practical and reliable. They usually stay-the-course especially when working towards building financial security as they appreciate the finer things in life.  They will work towards a nest egg, and many begin saving at a young age compared to most other Zodiac signs. 

 

They can be quite stubborn and will relentlessly work towards their goals.

 

Ruled by the planet Venus, they are romantic and pleasure seeking. They can and will, however, commit to a relationships when they have found the right partner.  They are loyal and can be counted on to be persistent and stable once committed.  Romance is important to these individuals, and love and affection including closeness are valued character traits that they seek in a romantic partnership.

 

Sun in Taurus individuals are considered quite stubborn and do not like change.  They like the tried, tested and true. They don’t like to take risks as risk can lead to failure and losing what they have worked so hard to gain is out of the question.  If they have to begin over again, it will likely take some time to feel comfortable once again.  They seek stability in all that surrounds them and this includes their occupation. 

 

Taurus individuals are slow to anger, but once angered, they are the bull. You don’t want to aggravate the bull as it can be relentless.  They also hold on to hurt and grief for much longer than most others. It is important for Taureans to learn to let go, as this would help them in their recovery.  Some will hold on to hurt for years and then have a hard time trusting others because of what someone else did to them. 

 

When it comes to occupation, Taureans are grounded and stable and can be totally relied upon. They will never miss a day unless absolutely necessary and out of their control.  They are steady, hard workers.  Most are quite organized and can be relied on to do their job correctly. They take responsibility seriously. You can count on them, and they will never intentionally let you down.  They honor their word.

 

Happy solar return to our disciplined, hard-working, sensual, faithful, reliable, patient Sun in Taurus 2026 readers.

 

Watch for our mini forecast for Sun in Taurus in the next couple of days.

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN ARIES 2026

We posted a short article on Sun in Aries on March 18: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-aries-2026  Today, we will look at some of the aspects that will be affecting our Aria

n readers in 2026.

 

Transiting Saturn and Neptune have been in close proximity to one another for some time now.  They begin to separate into April, although still tight when the Sun moves into Aries, separated only by 3° degrees.  Towards the end of July, transiting Saturn, then at 14° into Aries, begins its retrograde cycle.  It goes from 14° back to 7° finally going into direct motion in December, 2026. 

 

Transiting Neptune will also go into its retrograde cycle beginning early July moving from 4° Aries down to 1° Aries and then moving back into its direct cycle very close to when Saturn moves into its direct motion at the end of the year.  Saturn and Neptune are in Conjunction once again but out by 6° which is far less powerful.  Energies merge but not with the intensity they were previously when the aspect was within 3°.

 

Those with their Sun within range of these degrees in the sign of Aries will be affected by the Conjunction of their Sun to Saturn and to Neptune at different periods throughout 2026 and well into 2027, with Neptune staying in Aries for about 14 years.

 

If your Sun is well aspected in the Natal chart, then both energies will assist in your ventures forward over this timeframe.  Of course, the degree of your Sun will have to be within range of these transiting planets. 

 

Those with Aries Sun in early degrees should also be pleased to find that Uranus and Pluto will also both be making Sextiles to this position of the Sun, so a potentially positive time can be expected.

 

The Sun Conjunct Saturn offers stability with reaching your goals and life objectives but not without some work.  It will not come easily but stable potential is certainly there.  This can work on an inner level as well.  You may find that you are reviewing yourself from a deeper understanding, especially when Neptune and Saturn are in conjunction with one another. 

 

If you are looking for recognition with business enterprises, Saturn can help you with this.  Your superiors may realize that you have been working hard towards goals and making progress. They may also realize that your accomplishments were not easily obtainable.  Potential promotions are in place, but other indicators in the chart would have to agree. This will be quite likely if there are other indicators especially with the MC. Remember an ongoing consistent effort is required. This will not fall into your lap.

 

Neptune is tied to higher realms and in most cases not linked to earthly type opportunities.  They are reflected in spiritual advancement, heightened enlightenment and growth and understanding in the path that leads to these.  You may receive inner guidance, or guidance from those you trust.  Following through can lead to great achievements or colossal steps forwards getting closer to your goals if your goals include enlightenment.

 

Neptune can also have to do with talents in acting, musical abilities, theater and the performing arts, including painting, and the ability to capture life in these works. 

 

Aspects to Sun in Aries 2026 can enhance inspiration, enlightenment, and earth matters that require integrity and perseverance.  Happy solar return to our Arian readers.

SUN IN ARIES 2026

On March 20, 2026, the Sun moves into the sign of Aries, which is a cardinal, fire sign. 

 

We are leaving the Sun sign of Pisces, the energy of which is to try to maintain a gentle, passive approach to life, by giving, serving and removing themselves from anything in life that could be termed aggressive. 

 

Now entering this new sun sign, Aries is a much more formidable sign, linked to courage, stamina, aggressive personal pursuits and a fiery temperament. 

 

This is not to say that all Ariens carry these traits as the rest of the chart must be studied to get a full picture of any individual. Anyone with Sun in Aries, however, will carry some of these powerful influences in their personality. 

 

Some Aries can even be rather self-centered, while others that are more advanced in their personal understanding know that before they can achieve what they set out to do even if to help others, they need to look after their own needs first.

 

As mentioned, Aries is a fire sign, meaning they are progressive, propelling themselves forward often in bold unobstructed manners, self-sufficient, energetic, forceful, often generous and giving to those they deem deserve this and they can be single-minded. 

 

Aries approach life’s circumstances with vigor, action and they are not overly concerned about making mistakes in their push for achievement as mistakes are simply lessons for moving forward. 

 

Aries individuals will stand by you when needed, but don’t cross them as they can let you go in a moment’s notice and will not look back.  They are the fighters of the Zodiac – they fight for their rights and will also fight for a cause. Many Ariens stand up for the underdog. 

 

Aries people are the first to rush in and often work towards building a business that offers little stability in the beginning, but with the right management and time and focus, they can pursue their objectives and often succeed.  They know they make mistakes but can easily rise again after a stumble or fall. 

 

Ariens will not forget a helping hand and will also not forget to repay this with plenty of assistance and advice.  They believe that they know what is best and pursue this relentlessly. 

 

Some Ariens will listen to advice, especially from those with experience, but many others can push forward because of their own personal belief in themselves.

 

Aries individuals can be counted on in most cases, but they also tend to shift direction on a moment’s notice.  They are willing to put forth the extra effort but would like to see results immediately, if possible. 

 

Patience is not their strong point and moving slowly is almost impossible. When they control their pace and learn from their mistakes, they often succeed in their endeavors. 

 

Happy solar return to our ground-breaking, head-first, ambitious, fearless, assertive Sun in Aries 2026 readers.

 

Stay tuned to read our mini forecast coming up for Sun in Aries individuals on March 23.

SUN IN CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21, 2024

On December 21 the Sun moves from the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn.  Sagittarius is very much about exploration and as we move into Capricorn, we carry forward the need for exploration but we now move into the area of success and what that might mean. 

 

Cardinal signs are known for action and decisiveness and want to achieve what they set out to do.  They do this with perseverance, persistence and especially in the case of Capricorn with conviction.  Capricorn knows that the ladder of success is not always an easy one, but that with hard work and achievement-oriented goals, the only thing that holds us back is our inability to push forward or obstruction from others.

 

In many cases, the ladder of success has to do with material achievement but there are exceptions. Sometimes, this can be very personal and may entail something important and that perhaps requires dedication and yes, a lot of work. 

 

Saturn is Capricorn’s ruling planet, and it always insists on hard work and a diligent effort in order to achieve what we set out to do, but Saturn’s rewards are often sustainable and produce structures that can stand the test of time. Capricorn knows that the effort is worth the struggle if that is what is required.

 

Most Capricornians are steadfast and reliable and are usually placed over time in a position of authority as they are good at enticing others into action.  They are leaders, and often not very good followers, unless those that are in positions above them can be viewed from a place of appreciation and with a degree of respect.  Capricorn’s themselves want respect and will work hard to make a name for themselves.

 

If by chance you find these characteristics do not fit, it would be important to look deeper into the chart and figure out why, especially if you are not goal oriented.  There can be many significators that can modify this energy, but most Capricorn people have some or many of these traits in common. 

 

Capricorn individuals are emotional but may have a hard time showing others this sensitive part of who they are.  They appear professional and do not like to show any type of perceived weakness.  They do not like criticism although if the criticism is valid, they will do what it takes to correct things.  Capricornians want to be viewed as diligent, and having the ability required to meet certain standards, they will work extra hard to prove this to others.  Some can be too restrictive and need to find ways to lighten up and enjoy life a little more.  Achievement, although the end result, does not have to be the only end in life.  Success is important but sometimes we learn more from our mistakes than from our achievements. 

 

Happy solar return to our diligent, motivated and reliable Capricornian followers.
