( Sun (astrology))
The sun ( ) is considered a very important part of astrology. It, as well as the Moon, are the most important of the astrological planets. In Roman mythology the sun was represented by Apollo, the god of light and Helios the god of the sun. The Sun is the star at the centre of our solar system, around which the Earth and other planets revolve, and which provides us with heat and light. The Sun is associated with Sunday. Dante Alighieri associated the Sun with the liberal art of geometry. The portion of the sky (or arc) that the sun travels in every year, rising and setting in a slightly different place each day, is in reality a reflection of the Earth's own orbit around the Sun. This apparent path of the Sun through the sky is called the ecliptic . The arc of the ecliptic is larger the further north or south from the equator the latitude is, giving a more extreme difference in day and night and in the seasons during the year. The sun travels through the twelve signs of the zodiac on its annual journey, spending about a month in each. The Sun's position on a person's birthday therefore determines what is usually called his or her star sign , birth sign or zodiac sign, although it is in fact more accurate to call it a person's Sun sign. The concept of sun signs is most commonly used in the West where the majority of people are familiar with their sun sign. The zodiac sign and house occupied by the sun will indicate how a person focuses their energies and activities, and how they integrate the different parts of their personality into a coherent whole. [2] It shows the mode of expression the person uses to feel most alive and vital, and how they seek admiration, notice and respect from those around them.
