Sun in House 1

Sun represents who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy. House 1 is the house of your own life: the body, your general health, your temperament and the way you present yourself and set things in motion. It's the starting point for everything in the chart — where "you" stand.

In the first house — of life, of the body and of the person himself — the Sun takes one of the angles, the most fitting for a luminary, and acts here with all the strength a star can gather. An angular house, the foundation of the chart, where what stands makes itself seen at once and marks the bearing and the complexion. The kingly star determined to the life of the body gives a presence that is noticed the moment he enters, vitality stamped upon the constitution, an air of command and dignity that precedes the word. It inclines to stand out among others, to carry natural authority, to be held a figure of note wherever he appears. The luminary’s brilliance strengthens the health and the spirit, and lends to the body itself the quality of a noble thing. The heart of the nativity, the Sun here sets itself at the centre of all that the person is and does, dictating the tone of the whole chart.
