Astrology Sun Sign Personality Traits

18K Shares

In natal astrology, the sun sign provides information about basic character, or the framework within which other forces, such as the rising sign, moon sign, and planetary placements, are expressed.

The sun represents the conscious mind and guides many of the actions taken within the material world. Our sense of purpose and much of what we do to achieve it can be linked to the sun sign placement.

Those whose ascendant (rising sign), moon, and other planets are in the same sign or similar signs to that of the sun will be more likely to express traits associated with their sun sign, whereas individuals whose ascendant and/or moon are in very different signs are likely to present a more complex persona, either blending traits of the two or oscillating between one set of traits and the other.
