Sun in Aries
Sun represents who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy. In Aries, it expresses itself with drive and courage, throwing yourself forward.
The Sun rises here exalted, in Aries — a cardinal fire sign, ruled by Mars — received as a guest of honour to whom the head of the table is offered. Exaltation is a dignity of respect and elevation: the kingly luminary finds in the martial drive a ground that kindles its courage and tempers its will. Here the dry heat of the Sun weds the rush of the ram, and gives a nature that begins, that opens the way, that does not wait upon another’s command to act. There is nobility in the gesture, readiness in command, a brilliance that asserts itself in the first hour of the year’s morning. It inclines to lead from the front and not from behind, to undertake with faith in its own light, to raise itself above the common. The danger dwells in the excess of its own fire: the haste that skips stages, the pride that flares up, the flame that consumes what it ought only to warm.
