[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 555838, member: 28124"] What the Sun is and does astronomically is what it is and does astrologically. Astrology works by analogy. Therefore, the Sun is the Center of Self, with all that that implies. When a cop asks me to identify myself, I show him my driver's license. But then, I might "identify" myself as American, an astrologer, an old man, an idiot, depending on situation or context. I can identify myself as "my values" or "my opinions"... challenge someone's closely-held opinion (say, their religious beliefs) and it is taken as a personal attack on their very being -- their identity. Saturn as "identity" is what sets me apart from others, what I use to "isolate" myself. Who am I as an individual within a social mass? The star we call Sun is the Source of Life...literally. Therefore, astrologically, it is our Life Source...our Light. Our consciousness of Being. It is the Spirit which animates us. It is the center of the solar system around which all else revolves -- and the solar system is the metaphorical universe. In this sense, then, it is our Identity...and our Purpose, our Will, and all the rest. Sun is the force that Integrates us. You're on the right track. Smile. I don't want to get into details. But in the case of your (hypothetical) woman with Sun in Cancer... study the meaning of Cancer more deeply. There is more to Cancer than "nurture" and "emotional rootedness". Ditto the other 11 signs, and Sun operates at the center of self. What does Aries (so powerfully focused in your own chart) really mean? On what level are we interpreting a chart? [/QUOTE]
