The sun’s journey through the zodiac defines our astrological year. In a natal chart, the sun symbolizes our core identity and aspirational self. Unlike the moon, which represents our emotional reactions, the sun reflects our rational selves and daily interactions with the world. It also plays a crucial role in how we harmonize the influences of other planets on our personality.
Regardless of your specific sign, the sun’s transit through each sign introduces broad themes that impact everyone in the zodiac. As the ruler of the ego and self-perception, these shifts affect aspects such as confidence, mood, and work performance. Roughly every 30 days, the sun moves to a new sign, ushering in a fresh perspective and ideals, often referred to as “seasons.”
