COSMIC SIGNIFICANCE
The Sun, our nearest star, represents the ego - that persistent delusion of self-importance in an indifferent cosmos. It burns roughly 4.6 billion years old, halfway through its life cycle, reminding us that even the most powerful forces in our sky are temporary.
PLANETARY RULERSHIP
Traditional ruler of Leo ♌, where its endless need for attention and recognition burns brightest, only to be eventually extinguished like all stars.
ASTROLOGICAL ASPECTS
Conjunction
When planets align with the Sun, they're combust - burned up and invisible, much like your hopes and dreams in the grand scheme of things.
Opposition
Planets opposite the Sun are fully illuminated, exposing all flaws and imperfections, much like how self-awareness reveals the futility of existence.
Square
Tension and conflict with the Sun, highlighting the eternal struggle between your ego and the meaninglessness of your contributions to the universe.
EXISTENTIAL CONTEMPLATIONS
- The Sun will die in approximately 5 billion years, taking with it any trace of human civilization
- Your personal Sun sign is merely which constellation appeared to be behind the Sun at your birth - an optical illusion from our insignificant vantage point
- The light reaching us from the Sun is already 8 minutes old - we live perpetually in the past
- Even the mighty Sun is but a tiny spark in an infinite void, destined to fade into cosmic darkness
