The Sun in Astrology: Meaning Explained

Discussing the meaning of the Sun in astrology, and explaining what it signifies in a birth chart, with astrologers Demetra George and Chris Brennan.
During the course of the episode we read through some excerpts from different ancient and modern astrologers in order to see how they conceptualized what the Sun signifies in an astrological chart.
We also talk about some different techniques that are used in astrology that involve the Sun, such as the solar phase cycle, different heliacal phenomena, under the beams, combustion, cazimi, sect, and more.
This is a followup to episode 294 with Israel Ajose where we looked at the meaning of the Moon in astrology, as the second installment in our series on each of the planets:
• The Moon in Astrology:...
Demetra is the author of the book Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques, Volume I, which has a large section that deals with the Sun and solar phase cycle:

You are a hero and a legend for the free content on this channel.

[@spiritofmatter1881]

I second that.

[@omiadi7485]

Yes! Agree💓so grateful

[@brunosantosdias01]

I trine that!!! Priceless awesome service and learnig a lot each video

[@paulmagus2133]

agree totally

[@lilithroux6340]

Legit.

[@sdpell8487]

Chris & Demetra - that was an incredibly valuable conversation! Demetra is a living treasure to the astrology community 🌞 Thank you both.

[@lisanewcombe168]

This is priceless ☀️ I could listen to Demetra teach all day. Please bring her back again!!!

[@sabrinalameriendaastral1252]

What puzzles me about Thema Mundi is that it doesn't match the southern hemisphere logic of light as that principle is being completely opposite. For instance, Leo season in my side of the world is the peak of winter and sun's fall in Libra the beginning of spring. It would be really useful to address this particular issue in future episodes @theastrologypodcast

[@pixiee970]

Similar to Demetra, my ascendant and moon are in Leo, and my sun (and Venus) is in Gemini and I can completely relate to preferring to exist in thoughts instead of in the body. Spending hours just playing around with ideas feels more natural than having to live in the moment and in my body.

[@Michelle-cb5jf]

I’m a total novice but I still thoroughly enjoy these great teachers discussions! Thank you Chris! 😊

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Let me know in the comments how the Sun is situated in your chart (sign, house, aspects), and how that has manifested in your life!

[@Polarveis]

I have Cancer sun 4 degrees 8th house trine Jupiter 26 degrees 3rd house. I get many opportunities. I feel really satisfied with myself at times. I also enjoy things when I'm doing nothing.

[@silvera4352]

I am 21 degrees Libra sun in 10th house, forming a t square with Leo moon (square) and Aries Jupiter (opposition). Sun trine Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius in the 12th house. Father highly narcissistic, generational abuse. He is also very creative- he was an actor when he was younger. Always breaking promises he couldn’t keep (sun opposition Jupiter). Very different to my mother - he is very impulsive, she was very steadfast (sun square moon). Career is very important to me (sun in 10th), although Sun is in fall in Libra meaning difficult beginnings- difficult to make distinction between what my wants and needs are and what other ppls’ wants and needs are. I would say with the sun in Libra in the 10th, after the death of my mother, I have made it my business to get “justice” for her (Libra ruling law and balance) through living a successful life, whatever that means. North node in Aries meaning individuation very important in this lifetime. Major transits don’t normally feature my sun- it’s tended to be aspects with the outer planets transiting my ascendant. I feel like my sun is overshadowed by my moon, which is quite afflicted, lots of squares to sun, Venus and Pluto (Scorpio) Sun is quite vanilla compared to the amount of Scorpio in the chart!

[@ClaimedParadise]

Scorpio in 4th trine moon and trine ascendant def a huge moment

[@samanthamogulko3913]

Sun in taurus in second house. I'm really rooted in my values 🐃 I have a strong desire for stability and security.

[@awakeningtobehuman]

Same :)

[@camilleholler5827]

Goddess Demetra we Loooove you!! ❤ Thank you Chris 🙏🏽

[@shirleyshantel32]

i actually just finished the moon discussion with Israel over the weekend, and listening to this today. it's great doing these two in a row! pisces sun/moon/venus/mars - it's really interesting having both luminaries in the same sign, and also venus+mars (divine masculine/feminine) all together. what a party in the watery depths of the ocean. i have a very nocturnal chart as well, and i always feel like i'm a super wintery person who loves the night and really isn't too happy in the sun. Thank you so much for these amazing videos!

[@kelechio1998]

Demetra is amazing at explaining things.

[@CharpyTheHedgehog]

Another good interpretation of combust/under the beams I've seen is that the planet/s work in service of the Sun- so whatever house the planet rules will work towards the goals of the house the Sun rules. Their own goals are deferred in place of contributing to the higher principle and life narrative of "King" Sun. The planet/s will also be less material and more noble, though still very hidden. I like this interpretation a lot, it seems more usable in chart analysis than just "they don't work because they're burnt."

[@ClaireBear0712]

I cannot believe how thorough and long each podcast is about every topic I could possibly want to learn about in the astrology world. I am so grateful for what you do thank you Chris!

[@JustinPlunkett7]

love that i'm getting Solar Powered Energy ads on this Sun episode LOL

[@christianavance9124]

i have learned something from every episode I have seen from this channel. Sometimes about learning astrology and sometimes about myself specifically. This was an episode I learned from both categories. Thank you both.

[@OwningAuthenticity]

Second time watching. This video popped back into my feed a few days ago and today the Sun transits across my ascendant and I find myself drawn here. Thank you both for bringing all of this to light on this day where I was clearly meant to receive it for a second time. Bless you both! 🙏💛

[@pennyrhodes4320]

This podcast is absolutely amazing! Thank you!

[@SF-fl3in]

So excited to hear about the book release.

[@lane8728]

Love it when you have Demetra on! Listening to two powerhouses of astrological wisdom have a conversation is incredible. I find myself screaming every couple minutes about an incredible point accidentally hinted at, as well as the more obvious information you both pass along constantly. Cant wait to read volume 2 of Demetras work, looks like I’m about to review volume 1. Thank you both for all the insight💕

[@ifnotifso]

I was excited to see this by the title alone. As I have been gettind deeper into my studies on astrology my 19 year old daughter has started wanting to know more about astrology as well. So I started teaching her by doing in depth studies of each of the planets and their correlations. Currently we are doing a deep dive into the sun so this video came right on time. Thank you for all you do it means a lot and is extremely helpful.

[@peggytraeg]

I have Venus and Mercury in the third house, Aquarius, I have always been a huge fan of women's rights and equal opportunity for women. From the age 13 onward I was always reading about women in power and the Suffragist movement. Thank you Demetra for that tidbit about the third house!

[@peterdoughty2015]

This is so rich and moving an exposition. The discussion of inner planet cycles pushed me to realize that Demetra’s birth chart has Mercury retrograde entering Sun’s beams, at heliacal setting as evening star. (Please correct me if wrong.) A very potent and reflective Mercury, well cultivated and manifested.

[@zena5159]

This was such a treat...I’m estimating 3 listens to this one! After viewing this my partner showed me a video of the recent and active Parker solar probe and my goodness we’re going to be learning some interesting things about the Sun over the next few years. Thank you guys x

[@HauntedCerebralAstrology]

Absolutely essential content, love seeing Demetra and Chris getting into the real-deal Solar meanings and techniques. The most iconic of the planets in astrology has needed proper consideration in the online community. Thank you!!

[@oohooh462]

I don't understand even a fifth of what is being said....but I just love listening....

[@tcmstudios]

So wonderful! Can't wait for Volume 2!

[@jodiearrington]

Love both your books! Looking forward to Demetra's Volume 2! Love this channel! Thank you...

[@carolinebush7029]

This is fantastic . Thank you Demetra, Chris and the internet ❤ 🙏❤

[@kurtfausset3102]

This is a stand out episode, Chris. Wonderful job. Demetra is such a treasure.

[@debbiereigate705]

I loved this. I learn so much listening to Demetra; there’s something about the way she speaks and explains things that keeps me engaged . Thank you both 🙏❤️

[@lalababayaga]

The information about cazimis, combust, retrograde, is so critical! I’m glad I took the time to catch up on this episode.

[@Alusnovalotus]

I love the explanation of the sun and it’s Leo representation. My father is a Leo sun and possibly a Sagittarius moon, and I’m a Libra rising (depression) Capricorn sun (Saturn ruled). I’d like to think this explains why I always butted heads with him all my life. 😅

[@369gigi8]

absolutely amazing discussion, yet again. Thank you so much for the generosity of sharing with all. I learn so much and appreciate!

[@Polarveis]

Thanks for sharing this! Much appreciated! 😊👏🏼🙌🏼

[@omiadi7485]

This is really good. Feeling so fortunate to be able to experience these awesome authors/specialists/gifts with years of wisdom here. Thank you so very much for all you're doing to help open us to the immense value of astrology.

[@mayateola4732]

Thank you for invaluable information Chris and Demetra!

[@karenpearson2239]

Absolutely great more please with the two of you. The knowledge you share freely is amazing

[@ASTROFREQUENCiES]

Hi Chris, wow what a very special presentation! The depth, detail, knowledge of you and Ms. George is mind blowing...sages. Thank you so much for all that you do uncovering and revealing the wisdom of astrology!

[@juyunglee1748]

It's very interesting about the progressions and gestational period. I am new so still a lot to learn, but just to comment that in some cultures in Asia, the celebration of the 100th day after birth is regarded as highly important. ^^

[@annarivera5943]

this was an amazing episode. love hearing both of your discourse. Demetra really had some great points on the suns indications that I honestly had never thought of or heard before. Masterpiece. ♉︎☉ ♌︎☽ ♐︎ ⇧ here and going through all these episodes . thank you guys so much!!

[@dianaque]

New astrology student here! Finding your in depth vids on each of the plants so incredibly helpful. Thank you for making and sharing these! Looking forward to diving into other series of yours once I’m through these too. Appreciate you!

[@brendarenee476]

Incredibly informative. 🌞 Much appreciated.

[@carolconn631]

Great interview 😊 I learned so much.

[@giosmama100]

Wow! So interesting! I learned so much, and for that I thank you🙏

[@Skyman7500]

I believe Astrology is an actual dimension because it allows us to see reality from another perspective. Also as with the other dimensions ..Astrology incorporates geometric angular observations in a moment in time.

[@herkimerblue3772]

Great discussion. I found the section on Astrology and time interesting because I have thought a lot about how astrology is the only divinatory technique (that I know of ) that has the measurement of time as an integral component to the system. Nothing else has that, not tarot, or I-Ching, scrying, lot drawing etc. etc. I find that really fascinating!

[@tiktik7608]

Thank u, i love the way Demetra explained here

Soo interesting. Thanks you both. I will go to her website. I follow your podcasts Chris.

[@scorpiostellium]

Can either of you comment on under the beams in terms of the practical uses? In every chart I've delineated, combustion does not seem to play out on the native's life. Ex military man in law enforcement with strong emphasis on fitness with Sun in Virgo at 24° and Mars at 28°... Mars does not seem weakened at all! (Night chart)

[@gildacao8717]

[@Prudenthermit]

So much gratitude for your time energy and incredible guests ❤ Can't say enough good things about demetras book as well- the exercises in each chapter are incredible for beginners. :) 12h sun lol I have a bad right eye & poor relationship with father :). prefer to work behind the scenes.

[@violetmoonmagic]

I am Sun in Aquarius with Scorpio Moon & Scorpio Rising. I found Demetra’s discussion of the Sun as Father in the function of the 4th House particularly profound for my own chart. That is, the father as having a central organizing principle in the child’s life. I was adopted, and my birth mother gave me up because my birth father was convinced to not marry her as she wasn’t “worthy”. However, reconsidered after I was born and adopted, and they are still married to this day with two additional children. But his decision had a huge influence on my life then…. And also years later when he rejected me again after we met later in life when he chose his daughter over me, and made the choice to cut me out of all their lives again as his daughter ( my birth sister) had issues and jealousy with me. So again, HIS decision was the one that has held significant influence over my sense of home and connection to birth family. So this has been very challenging and painful, but hearing this explanation of the Sun as representation of the father and his role in the 4th house has allowed me to make sense of my situation and how it seemingly is playing out in real life. He very directly and literally determined my acceptance and legitimacy in my birth family. Very good episode, with many insights for me.

[@dharmabum1111]

I was called to read your comment as I had a profound friendship with your same top 3 placements (I dont know her family history however). I sympathize with your sharing, a very painful family story. 💚 I'm also a 4th house sun (and was minutes away from sharing a birthday with my father).

[@LindaLarkin]

Straight outta the gate (you need to read it with an Australian accent) - volume II is being released. Excited to purchase this book!

[@janetlee4421]

My sun in scorp in 10th house, conjunct vesta. My dad's mother died when he was 5. He was emotionally absent, not there for me at all is an understatement, and the other half of 2 very dysfunctional parents. She obviously didn't want kids, but he didn't notice it, because she always treated him like an infant and waited on him hand and foot, while either ignoring the kids, or venting her anger at me, the youngest, or my brother, the oldest. She and oldest sister f'd with his mind so bad, I think it contributed to his drinking and driving death at 27. The 3 sisters were allowed to pick on mercilessly and the one I had to share a room with for 15 years was a pathological liar, violent, hateful, thief, destroyer of my soul. Even my mother tormented me emotionally herself, and somewhat physically, like not feeding me when she had food when I was like 1 and a half years that I remember, and she scolded me and put me under the sink for communicating to her that I was hungry. At about 12, I learned to hold my own, but then at 15, got raped as virgin, and dreams of being "saved" by marraige, ha ha, of course went to hell in a breadbasket, as I hitchhiked around and got raped by 12 more men, up to around 19 years old. My mom was catholic, religious fear ruled her, but I got most healing from: a course in miracles, learning to communicate with higher self, Jesus and others, even God Itself. And what Jesus teaches in a course is that forgiveness heals, and alot of other stuff probably not pertinent here, like God didn't create the physical universe, but our soul's, conglomerate projected it , mis using the energy we were created as, in an attempt to escape from It /God . And the good thing is, we never left God and yet forgot, as we continue to weave this web of illusion, that, because of the nature of us and God will always lead us home, eventually. We are there now, and just need to realize it. Of course, easier said than done. This was a very inspiring and enlightening podcast. I have a friend that's a triple Leo, I think, and I can relate. Always great to learn more about the human experience. Thank you both, so much! Love, and healing!!!

[@ileanamendez7583]

Excellent. Thank you. 🌟

Thank you for this tremendous Blessing!

[@mamabamba1985]

Bless you for this sharing of wisdom 🌾

[@SailorMoon-in-Cancer]

Demetra’s Volume I is one of, if not my most favorite astrology manual, so I’m eagerly waiting for Volume II :) As for the father significator debate, I don’t see why sect would play a role in deciding what planets signify parents and why only one of the luminaries is allowed to perform its traditional role in that case. For example, Jupiter signifies children in all charts, so why would fathers be any different? To me, it makes more sense if we treat parents like any other topic, i.e. look at both the planet and the house: Sun and 4th for fathers, Jupiter and 5th for children, Venus and 7th for love relationships, etc. In my own chart, Sun and 4th house ruler sit together, so the pairing works for me.

[@user-ec6me3rz4e]

i am so grateful for you chris 🙏

[@Cmrntylr]

Decided to go linear revisiting these and I only wanted to comment, this time, that I’m already reading 3 books simultaneously due to this podcast where I started this to discover I really want to read the two volumes discussed in this episode. If this keeps up I may send everyone an invoice for parts and labor in regards to buying and reading so much from this podcast. There was already a book by Demetria I wanted to check out and now it’s at least 3, this was the hardest “planet” in the series for me to grasp which I assumed was having sun in the 12th. Maybe, but it’s also that Demetria is so unbelievably knowledgeable that I get lost. Yet, forcing myself to stay go linear, it’s perfect timing because volume 2 may be (not sure if it’s released yet) something to help me solve my issues with houses. Volume 1 looks like it may solve an issue where the sun doesn’t make sense to me sometimes. I revisited the aspect episode with Claire Moon not long ago and an issue I can have with planets is that my natal is conjunctions, trines, and sextiles. The libra conjunctions used to be difficult to separate, but Richard Tarnas’s interpretation of Pluto actually made so much sense it’s easier to tell them apart. I think some of that issue was the “higher frequency” interpretation. The trines and sextile’s, if I focus in on a planets “vibe” I can often get feelings from other ones so it’s harder to isolate them. But, sun conjunct Mercury r conjunct Saturn (out of sign) is a REALLY hard one to delineate for a different reason. Moon and Israel is next for this week. Because of the whole book thing, my Easter is kind of ruined because I’ll feel awful if I get to the Venus episode not finishing Cosmos and Psyche. I’m jumping around, can’t help it. The undertones of that book made me drift over to more hermetic books for a while. However, perfect timing because I checked my place in that book and Tarnas is explaining uranus and I’m using uranus transits to look at how Lots were triggered. Eros and nemesis are actually fascinating in that regard. There were issues of Archai Journal I want to read that I need to start before getting to Venus if I plan to keep my deep dive plan in tact. Sadly, reading Tolkien isn’t on my to do list and I’d love to read her book. Maybe someday, but i need to read Tolkien first. Since it was brought up indirectly in this episode and my Easter break is going to be finishing cosmos and psyche to get room to add more books to my reading list… when I want to ruin someone’s Easter I point out that the unconscious is so powerful that people don’t notice their celebrating the earths fertility by hiding Easter eggs in the yard to watch their kids find them. It’s so creepy. 🤪 Joking aside, I was actually kind of excited hearing about the books. Revisiting episodes pays off. Im really looking forward to diving into Reynolds and even Levine when I get there. This episode clicked this time.

A client of mine is Taurus rising sun Libra night chart. As a child when his progressed sun ingressed into Scorpio from his sixth house, the moon trines his natal Saturn and sextiled Mars he had a horrible accident and lost complete vision in both of his eyes. There were also transits to his Natal North Node and it was in Eclipse season June 1966.

[@annoguz4770]

A sense of loss connected to father or mother, when you have Sun or Moon in the 12th house was spot on! I have Moon in 12th house and my mother died young.

[@GeniusisCommon]

So potent. WOW! Genius!

[@khanyamotolwana3337]

This was very interesting. I have Nep conj Sun & I have always felt like my life purpose is more "spiritually" centred. Unfortunately, Nep doesn't really clarify what that is. Does it mean finding spiritual significance in everyday living? Or is there something more specific? So my life is coloured by trying on many things on before deciding what I am "not". Its like an "unmasking"to finding oneself-which includes many job changes in the everyday manifestation (Moon in 3rd house) With that in mind, I dont think that we never do what is outside our purpose per say. What can occur however,is that we are not brought to conscious awareness that "purpose" is happening now. So in terms of the analogy,the oak tree may be the "end" product of the acorn. But it is really the "process" in between(not so much the realization)that is the purpose of the acorn. Because once there is Ascent,the inevitable "growth" is the descent(and then again begin). So all of us are "in between" i.e not fully manifested in our potential. But coming into the realization of who we really are as part of the process of "becoming" who we really are.🙏🏿

[@valentina47734]

Glad to have found your comment. I have a Sun Neptune conjunction in the 7th house. One of the manifestations is changing jobs every three years on average. And looking for a perfect career. Plus a soulmate od course. It has been said that this placement can bring you the highest rewards if you believe. Do you have a Cazimi?
