SUN IN THE NATAL HOUSES

Sun in the First House: You tend to be out front and personable. Your personal appearance is

important to you and you put a lot of thought and effort into how you appear or come across.

Others notice you, and a position of leadership (prominence) is likely.

Sun in the Second House: You are very responsive and probably not a little possessive. You

tend to collect things, and material success—money, home, security, possessions—is very

important. You tend to be very supportive of others.

Sun in the Third House: You are very communicative, not a little curious, and like to talk,

speak, write, and so on. Study, research, and investigations of all kinds appeal to you. You are

always searching out some answer or another. Siblings are important, too.

Sun in the Fourth House: Home, family, and security are important to you. You love to send

out roots and build a home base. Sensitive and somewhat private, you tend to be a very feeling

(and sometimes vulnerable) person. You sense things and have a good feel for business.

Sun in the Fifth House: You are very expressive and outgoing when it comes to your feelings

and emotions—you wear your heart on your sleeve. Creativity of all kinds is important to

you—music, drama, art, poetry. Also, animals and children play a large role.

Sun in the Six House: You are a good worker, always thinking and caring for things. You are

naturally service-oriented and enjoy taking care of the needs of others. You are very discrimi-

nating and can sort out the good apples from the bad.

Sun in the Seventh House: You love a social life—friends and relationships play a major role

in your makeup. Close bonds (marriage, yoga) are very important to you.

Sun in the Eighth House: “What you see is what you get” is not enough for you. You want

more than appearances and are willing to dig down to get at the heart of things. You work

through all that is superficial, no matter what kind of personal sacrifice is required.

Sun in the Ninth House: You are direct and candid and tend to brush past appearances and

settle on the truth within. Ideas—philosophy and religion—are what life is all about. You may

travel, counsel, and be a teacher to others.
