how would you interpret this

[astral tal]

the sun, on the one hand - signifies the head (while the moon the body)
and on the other, when you check out the sun meaning in medical astrolofy - the sun is the heart....

how can the sun be both the head and the heart ?

thanks

Good question.
There can be multiple interpretations for the same symbol. It depends upon the context [natal, medical, horary, etc.] Sun means something entirely different in natal than in, say, horary. And there may blending and crossover sometimes in the meanings/interpretation of the astrological planets in different contexts.
Keep up your inquiry into the symbolism is astrology. It will serve you well.

SUN has multiple significations

Good question. There can be multiple interpretations for the same symbol.

And there may blending and crossover sometimes in the meanings/interpretation of the astrological planets in different contexts. Keep up your inquiry into the symbolism is astrology.

brief example:
MUNDANE ASTROLOGY - SUN signifies President, Prime Minister, Monarch, Aristocracy
Magistrates, Judges
and all persons in authority and of distinction
Cabinet ministers and the like.
Also represents public heroes and national champions

Traditionally
Sun controls action, light, kingship
leadership, high priesthood, reputation
authority over the masses, high rank
the mind, motion, loftiness of fortune
judgement, providence, friendship, the father, public matters
honours consisting of images, statues and garlands
the circulatory system, the nervous system
the eyesight, especially the right eye
wheat and barley, gold, bright colours and bitter tastes.

okay, thank you all very much !

btw, i still do think that while different modes of operation in different kinds of astrology have their own unique symbolism - that symbolism has to converge in some way...

I agree. And they do, if you look at the contexts from which the meanings arose. Like for Sun, head/mind and heart in some eastern traditions are one thing.
The more deeply you study astrology, the clearer these symbolisms will become.

interdependent is not a good word...
when different meanings converge - they create a singularity, when something is singular - it is unbreakable. and when you have an unshakable perception of the symbolism in astrology - you become a wiser astrologer...

INTERDEPENDENT
IS a good word

when different meanings converge - they create a singularity,

that "...singularity..." is NOT INDEPENDENT
as you say
the "singularity.." described is dependent on CONVERGENCE of different meanings

when something is singular - it is unbreakable.

changes eventually
because it's dependent on the different meanings convergence

and when you have an unshakable perception of the symbolism in astrology

is a matter of opinion

- you become a wiser astrologer...

Ebertin's list does represent medical astrology symbolism as it is applied through Western astrology.

If astral tal is still reading and the Sun sign is Aries, this could well explain 'the sun signifies the head', yet meaning one might 'live through the head'; which inspires the Sun spirit into immediate action, etc.. Sun is ruler of Leo, and Leo as a sign is representative of 'conditions of the heart' (See anatomical Leo in list).

btw, i still do think that while different modes of operation in different kinds of astrology have their own unique symbolism - that symbolism has to converge in some way..

The mention of 'while Moon the body' in the intial post is not a factor applied in western astrology in itself. It can be said that many physical disorders can relate back to the condition of a harsh Moon aspect through which the feeling nature is stronger than the Sun spirit.

If Eastern astrology is being studied, there will be large differences in what means what because sign=planet=house plays a large role in its lore.

Esoteric astrology has yet other significators. I believe Moon is ruler of physical Taurus, in which case I suspect that Moon would be seen as ruler of ' physical embodiment', no matterin which natal sign it is placed.


I tend to agree with you here. The astrology of the system used is through totally different approaches towards life/soul/meaning, yet why the factors attributed to the individual body parts change in correspondence to them is beyond my understanding.

got it...

 

[Humanitarian]

The "head" ruled by the Sun is usually either the head of state/president, God, father or a prominent masculine figure, and the "heart" is also ruled by the Sun too, and it is because the Sun rules Leo, a sign that signifies the heart, the solar plexus chakra and all of the solar things at the same time.

In Royalty, the Sun may rule the "head"or the CEO of a company....but usually the great "authority figure" is Saturn..possibly co-ruled with Jupiter.
