astrology:
The Sun is one of the basic Western astrological planets (even though it is scientifically a star). The Sun is personal in sign, house, and aspects.
The sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about. It represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity, and the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others. Peggy, astro-consulting
In the traditional ages of man, the Sun rules early adulthood.
