KEYNOTE: To be.

Sun in the 2nd House: Since Taurus is the natural ruler of this house, all traits have Taurean overtones. Your basic concerns are material: possessions, security and success. You have the ability to attract money and resources, but you can't always hang on to it or it doesn't bring you the happiness you expected. Financial success is often negated by extravagance-- you must learn true values. Money will stay with you if you learn to share your wealth with others and not just spend it on yourself. You adore splendor, comfort and opulence. As a child, you should be encouraged to share, and you probably come from a well-to-do house or have a very successful parent. As you grow, you attract influential friends. You have a strong will to attain financial independence and, due to your persistence and stability (caused by strong stubbornness), you usually succeed, even if only for a short while. If the Sun is afflicted, you may believe that material wealth will bring you others' respect. You also tend to impose your will on others for your own profit and often waste money on expensive "toys" to impress others or to satisfy your own ego.
KEYNOTE: To possess.

Sun in the 3rd House: Gemini, the natural ruler of this house, gives Geminian overtones to all traits. Your basic drive to achieve distinction follows intellectual lines. Your mind is usually scientifically oriented and you really enjoy investigating new things, especially in areas ruled by your Sun sign. You're observant, optimistic, flexible and have the ability to make the right decision when it's needed. If the Sun is in a creative or intellectual sign, you possess considerable writing talent. In any case, you're a superb communicator, able to relate ideas clearly to others. You make an excellent teacher, lecturer or writer. You have a desire to travel, even if only to explore areas you live and work in. This placement is good for schoolwork. As a child, you're extremely energetic, but often lack patience and the will to follow through with tasks you start. If the Sun isn't afflicted, your early life is happy and carefree. You probably don't have many siblings, but those you have play an important role in your life and your relationship with them is good. If the Sun is afflicted, you tend to expect others to accept your way of thinking and may feel (and act) intellectually superior.
KEYNOTE: To know.

Sun in the 4th House: Cancerian overtones affect all traits and you have strong parental ties and a happy home life. You may find it hard to cut the psychological umbilical cord. You have a strong self-protective urge that may surface as a strong need for security or a subtle, yet strong, "me first" attitude. You're proud of your family heritage and may have an aristocratic outlook or even too much family pride if the Sun is afflicted. You want to establish a family and a secure home of your own, and will make your home a showcase of beauty, art and opulence as much as your finances allow. You're interested in land, houses, ecology, natural resources and can do well in any aspect of real estate. You have an innate fear of not having what you need, be it physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. You're quiet and mild, but, if the Sun is afflicted, this is deceptive. As a child, you want to help take care of your siblings and may have to be encouraged to seek friends outside of the family. The first part of our life will probably be an uphill battle, but as old age approaches, prosperity and prominence increase and your health remains good. If the Sun is afflicted, you have a desire to leave home early due to an inability to get along with your parents, possibly because you tend to dominate the domestic scene, even to acting as head of the family.
KEYNOTE: To establish.

Sun in the 5th House: Since this is the house the Sun naturally rules through Leo, there is increased power of creative self-expression involving children of the mind, body, and emotions. Tests may arise from too much self-projection and too much desire for power. This is the house of hidden karma. You're strong, popular, highly competitive and sometimes self-indulgent. You seek pleasure and want to be noticed and appreciated, which can make you seem naively childish and egocentric. If you're not evolved, you may lack maturity and subtlety, and be too blatant and over-theatrical. You often take risks due to blind self-confidence. This placement is good for involvement in theater, movies, radio, television, arts, teaching, sports and speculation. You're attractive to the opposite sex and have many love affairs that are all-consuming while they last. You find great joy in love and children, and you're capable of being loyal to only one. If the Sun is in Taurus or Scorpio, you may be possessive and jealous. You're good with children, but rarely have a large family of your own, especially if the Sun is in one of the fire signs. If the Sun is afflicted, you may have difficulties with our children and you'll need to handle your love affairs wisely.
KEYNOTE: To express.

Sun in the 6th House: Virgo imparts its overtones to the traits of this house. You seek distinction through service and your work, but need outward gestures of appreciation or you get mad at your employer and your fellow employees, possibly even changing jobs. Self-esteem is closely tied to your work and service. You have good organizational skills and are a good worker with ability in your chosen field where you'll go far and develop good relationships with your co-workers. As an employee, you'll demand many rights and privileges and expect to be treated as an equal. As an employer, you can be a difficult boss, especially if afflicted. You must learn the lesson of humility through service to others. Your best work is done in cooperation with others. As a child, you'll have many hobbies. If the Sun is afflicted, there may be long periods of unemployment. If the Sun is well aspected, your health should be strengthened and you'll have an intuitive sense as to how to maintain good health and possibly even a career in the health fields. If not well aspected, your health may suffer and you must have a balanced diet. If the Sun is afflicted, you may require lengthy recuperation after an illness.
KEYNOTE: To improve.

Sun in the 7th House: Libran traits are accented with the Sun in this house. Relationships are the way you find your self-expression. Marriage is of the utmost importance to you. If the Sun is well aspected, your friends are strong, close and loyal and your mate will be strong and loyal with lasting affection. If the Sun is not afflicted, you can be increasingly successful after marriage. If the Sun is afflicted, you or your partner may try to dominate the relationship, forcing your will on the other. You must learn to adjust to the demands of others if you want others to adjust to you. (Balance.) You must respect the individual self-expression of others. You're self-confident, popular and have favorable dealings with your superiors. You're good at public relations, sales and promotions.

Sun in the 8th House: The traits of Scorpio are evident in this house. There must be a reorientation of your ego and your ego must die so the soul can grow. There is a necessity for regeneration and transformation. The lessons you must learn in this life will likely be severe since the truths you must learn are fundamental. There is a strong interest in self-improvement through the application of your will power. The first third of your life may be difficult due to the physical and/or emotional loss of your father. You're able to attract the support of other people. Your emotions are deep-rooted and stable. You're very creative and sex is important to you. Towards the latter part of your life, your interest in the occult and life-after-death increases. You may inherit money from the male side of the family. You'll do good in any field that has to do with death or the dead. When death comes, it should be natural. If the Sun is afflicted, there may be financial troubles through mismanagement of your resources or from your partner's extravagant manner.
KEYNOTE: To transform.

Sun in the 9th House: Sagittarian traits are accented here and understanding is born. This placement is good for religious leaders, higher educators, philosophers and those dealing in publishing or informing the public of higher truths. Your basic sustenance is through abstract levels of religious experience. Your intuition is highly developed and you often have flashes of inspiration that help you to solve problems. You're interested in the larger social order and the laws and traditions guiding it. Your strong moral convictions may be narrow-minded and bigoted if the Sun is afflicted. You often go on long journeys, often to foreign countries. It the Sun is in a fixed sign, your journeys will be more spiritual than physical. If the Sun isn't in a fixed sign, you may settle a long way from home or marry a foreigner. If the Sun is afflicted, you may seek to impose your moral or religious views on others or have eccentric religious views. You could also have problems with higher education, a foreigner or in a foreign country. At times, you may be hypocritical or have condescending moral attitudes towards others.
KEYNOTE: To understand.

Sun in the 10th House: The traits of Capricorn are much in evidence. Your career takes on greater than average importance. You feel the need to improve your importance, so your career is usually successful and involves your whole personality, possibly at the expense of your marriage and friendships. You're ambitious and intrigued by power, which may make you too authoritative and dictatorial. You're a leader in whatever you do and people pay attention to you. You may become arrogant or rebellious if you let that attention go to your head. In order for you to feel secure, your drive for significance must be publicly useful. You're willing to work hard to obtain what you want the most-- honor and recognition. Your family is often well-to-do and you hate anything that brings disgrace or dishonor to you or your family. You often feel it's necessary for you to set a proper example for others to follow. This placement is good for politicians or anyone working in government. If the Sun is afflicted, especially to Saturn, your successes may be followed by reversals, there could be a fall from social grace or from the ladder of success, or even a public disgrace.
KEYNOTE: To achieve.
Back to the top
Sun in the 11th House: The Aquarian traits are stressed here and you simply want to do your own thing. You have many clear-cut objectives and usually achieve what you set out to do. You have a strong desire to gain recognition through mental achievements and inventions. You have strong organizing abilities and are usually a leader in any group you are involved with-- societies and groups are an important part of your life. You're apt to be a humanitarian with concern for universal human dignity and brotherhood. You make every attempt to be fair, unbiased and impartial. You have many friends who aid you with their time, money, prestige and power and you, in turn, will bring happiness to others. You have an interest in subjects dealing with the occult, science and inventions. If the Sun is afflicted, friendships may cause problems, either from your tendency to dominate your friendships for selfish reasons or from friends using and/or betraying you.
KEYNOTE: To transfigure.

Sun in the 12th House: Piscean overtones color this placement that indicates what you have brought over from a past life to work out in this life. You must choose between serving and suffering. Any limitations you face are directly related to the past misuse of power. Your early conditioning may be affected by your father, for good or bad. You can be lonely, even in a crowd, or avoid close relationships. You may lack self-confidence. You can do well in the fields of medicine, psychology, research (especially psychic research), or someone who works with those who are limited or afflicted in some way. Most of your work will be done behind the scenes. If the Sun is afflicted, you may be overly timid or neurotic, or you may want to secretly control others. In your search for power and recognition, your ego may permit entities to use you as a medium. You may have powerful yet unknown secret enemies. You've allowed your ego and destructive tendencies to have control in past lives and now you must pay your karmic debt either through service or suffering-- the choice is yours. If the Sun is heavily afflicted, you can be your own worst enemy, but you can change this if you so desire.
KEYNOTE: To transcend.
