Sun in the 1st House

sun 1st houseSelf-confidence, initiative, clearly-defined ambitions. You have an optimistic disposition, increased physical vitality, and personal warmth. This position often indicates a leader. With the Sun in this placement, your self-expression is important to you.

If the Sun is in the First House in your chart, then you entered the world within the first two hours of the new Day. Daylight dispels the black of night and people begin to go about their daily tasks.

The exceptional energy radiating from the Sun in this position is not without effect. This is the source of your destiny to serve as an example and to give others strength and energy. Greet life actively and enthusiastically making your way with determination. Your family was not necessarily the primary contributors to your confidence and optimism. You prefer to earn success completely independently and it has brought you a certain amount of respect, which you also crave for. You are the kind of person who wants to stand out in a crowd. It is important for you to know enough about everything to be considered an authority on any subject. This also satisfies your craving for admiration.

If the Sun and the Ascendant are in the same sign, the qualities of that sign will be especially pronounced.

If the Sun in the first house receives harmonious aspects, you may have had a childhood which made it easy for you to develop your unique capacities, and your birth caused much excitement.

If the Sun in the first house receives challenging aspects, you should take care not to give free reign to your dominant character traits, such as narcissism, and pride.

If you do not manage to regulate your desire to be in control you will end up frustrated and off-balance. Always remember that respect and recognition have to be earned. Do not make the mistake of expecting too much.

Sun in the 2nd House

Sun In The Second HouseIf the Sun is in the Second House in your chart, you have good earning capacity, generous with others, tendency to spend extravagantly. You need financial security and enjoy your creature comforts. You gain financially through your father and employers.

In humanistic Astrology, the second house is called the “test of possession”, in which you are supposed to learn to deal actively and dynamically with material possessions; to recognize their usefulness but not to become overly attached or worship your growing accumulation of things. Live out your individual talents and improve the awareness of yourself by internalizing important values. You have to recognize what security actually means if you seriously intend to fulfill your wish to become independent.

Your satisfaction in life comes from acquiring possessions and from your talent to get along in the physical world. This is one area where you progress with your head held high. Possibly you want to make your way into the scene by impressing others with status symbols. You share your material possessions with others, but should learn not to try to turn a profit from it.

The development of the Sun’s energy in the second house is advantageous for you, because you have enough energy to withstand the tests to your detachment. Finally you could develop enough self-assurance to rise above all the challenges of life. This stable base depends on your confidence as well as your financial situation. It is worth trying for even if it does sound a bit pompous.

You are an excellent, forceful speaker, able to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly. You are warm and generous with your siblings, relatives and neighbors.

You are at your best while expanding your knowledge or sharing your acquired learning and inspirations with others.

It is important that you avoid making others responsible for your needs and actions. Try to avoid overemphasizing abstract knowledge.

Sun in the 4th House

Sun in 4th HouseIf the Sun is in the Fourth House in your chart, your self-expression focuses on your family and home. You have a deep need to establish roots and strive to make your home comfortable, warm, and a reflection of your own importance. You dominate your home and domestic affairs. You gain through one or both of you or parents. Early childhood was probably happy, energetic, and fun.

In humanistic Astrology, the fourth house stands for the test of stability. In your search, you will have to delve deep within yourself, whereby you will have to find a balance between the necessary material prerequisites for life, which probably are less important to you, and your spiritual progression, including your family life.

Put yourself in a position that lets you see yourself as an independent individual, without having to deny your roots. This is important, because you may both identify with your ancestry and allow your family too much influence over you, or out of a desire to protect yourself from their influence, completely reject your background. It would do you good to try to accept some of your family’s values without sacrificing your own identity.

The fourth house is the mother’s house, which is essential to a strong sense of security in the early years. The energies unfolding in this house can be experienced through the mother. Your mother may be strong and dominating which may cause you to suffer from permanent self-doubt and think of yourself as a weakling. You should tell your mother what you think of her in order to free yourself from her influence. It may be that your mother was not there for you, either physically or emotionally, which has left you with an unrealistic image of her. In any case, the Sun in the fourth house presents a challenge to look for and find the feminine potential within yourself.

Most probably you have a deep longing to establish a safe and comfortable home to live in. You still need a little time to find the place where it feels right to settle down. Do not expect to find real satisfaction or develop a realistic self-image until later in life.

Erotic affairs and romantic relationships will immeasurably increase your enthusiasm and your self-confidence. Contact with children not only makes you happy but also offers instruction as an additional reward. You should never expect things of your child that you are not capable of doing yourself.

They wanted to provide their children with a better life than they had, but the children were never asked about their opinion. Avoid grooming your child for presentation as your achievement.

Sun in the 8th House

Sun in the Eighth HouseIf the Sun is in the Eighth House in your chart, your financial prosperity increases after marriage, through partnerships, and inheritances.

Fame may come after death and any afflictions or poor aspects enhance the possibility of premature, sudden, or violent death. But this smacks of predestination and fate. We are endowed with a free will that acts on the pattern inherent in a chart and creates our experiences from the raw material of our core beliefs. On a deeper level, our free will allows us to choose our parents and the circumstances into which we are born and how and when we die. From the pattern intrinsic to the blueprint of our birth chart, free will creates the structure of our lives and our deaths.

You long for a union with a “superior being”, even if this is not conscious and you deny it to yourself. Try to expand your horizons through more personal contacts and exchanges.

You could fulfill your wish to invest your energy in large projects by professionally handling other people’s finances.

It is not just the material exchange that is important, but also the emotional. If you have an emotional nature your friendships will bring hidden character traits and unresolved childhood problems to the surface as well as further your development and individual expression associated with the Sun. An erotic relationship can serve to vent frustration and stimulate regeneration and healing after a collapse. You will get the maximum benefit from an intensive relationship with someone of the opposite sex. This will provide all the aggravation you need to progress.

Generally, the eighth house is associated with death and inheritance. Death holds a special fascination for you which causes you to address topics which others avoid. It is to be hoped that you will be able to deal with everything you stir up.

The tenth house is the father’s house. You may have identified so strongly with your father that you took on his ambitions as your own. As a father in turn, you could harbor the expectation that your child develops according to your plan. You should take care not to suffocate your child with your personality. Actually, it could develop into a form of symbiosis. Your child, who is ecstatic about any opportunity to demonstrate her talents, would idolize you.

Sun in the 12th House

Sun in the Twelfth HouseIf the Sun is in the Twelfth House in your chart, this placement can inhibit self-expression until later in life. This may be due to unconscious problems concerning the father or feelings of inferiority that are not conquered until after the age of forty. You probably work in seclusion or behind the scenes and a lot of your energy goes into your inner life. You win over any enemies you have.
