A horoscope is a map of the position of the planets in the
heavens
at the exact time and place of your birth. This map
represents
the Sun appears to follow through the sky, which astronomers call the ecliptic.
Astrologers divide this path into twelve 30 angles sectors. These
are "12 signs of the Zodiac," or "Sun signs." They indicate in which
sector the Sun was found at the time of our birth. For instance,
if you were born in the period from Nov. 22 to Dec. 21, then the Sun would
be in the ninth sign, Sagittarius. Your "Sun sign," therefore, would
be Sagittarius.
The Sun sign is mostly used in the interpretation of the horoscope.
It indicates the way a person expresses his basic energy potential and
his creativity drive to grow and develop as an individual. The present
incarnation, as well as the lessons he must master.
The Sun sign determines the dynamic expression of the will, which is manifested
through the activity of the other planets in the horoscope. The will,
as it is modified by the Sun's influence, is the fundamental component
of consciousness, coloring all other modes of activity.
