what does “sun sign” mean?

Your “Sun sign” is the sign in which the Sun was traveling when you took your first breath. The Sun sign is the one most people readily recognize in themselves. The Sun symbolizes our sense of self, vitality, and life's purpose. In the grand scheme of the solar system, it shines as our most brilliant, most central star. The Sun is the center of it all, exactly the same as how the Sun shines bright in our Skies and takes such an important presence. All living beings on Earth rely on the Sun, and in your astrological chart, its role is equally significant. Embracing the characteristics of your Sun sign is likely to evoke feelings of creativity, generosity, bravery, and self-assuredness. Essentially, tapping into your 'main character' essence will naturally attract others to bask in your warmth, in your essence and source of brightness.

Where your Sun is in your chart, by sign and house, and how it connects to other planets shows where and how you're supposed to use your natural talents, how and where you’re most comfortable while shining your light.

Think of your Sun as your energy source, like the heart pumping life into your body. It spreads energy to all the different parts of your chart. When you lose touch with what your Sun represents, you might feel low on energy, lost, or lacking inspiration. But when you connect with your Sun, it powers up everything else in your chart and life, giving you the strength, lucidity, special abilities and coherence you need.

Now you know what it means when someone says “I’m a Scorpio” or “I’m a Libra”!

The Sun Sign, along with the Moon Sign and your Rising Sign form your core personality traits, known as the “Big 3” in Astrology.
