The Sun

Ruling Planet of Leo

 

The Sun is the dedicated planetary ruler of Leo, and is recognized as the planetary influence of self! It brings us life and provides us with the ability to become who we are! It helps us to become our pure self, and assists us to develop our own individuality. It gives us the spirit to be who we want to be and helps us shape our identity. It also gives us the energy to live our life and handle everything thrown at us. It is the majestic brilliance of The Sun which gives us the strength and resolution to perpetuate a life!

Without the Sun, not one of us would be able to genuinely shine! It prompts us to be competitive in our spirit to excel. It gives us the drive we need to win in life, from creativity to matters of the heart. It provides an unyielding positive energy to keep us active and inspiring. No matter what we want, it will always provide us with an inner essence to believe in ourselves. Just as the core of The Sun is what creates its life, it freely gives this core energy to every living thing on Earth!

Since The Sun is our most powerful influence, it allows us to believe we can be leaders in our fields, and gives us the confidence to achieve our goals. It is understood to govern fathers and higher levels of power, such as governments and authority figures. Without its noble influence, no one would have to ability to effectively lead others. Its energy is masculine, and is also considered to preside over our physical health.

The Sun plays the most influential of all roles in astrology. The ancients noticed that The Sun was at its strongest when influencing Leo. This suggests therefore that Leo born people will be more predominant when it comes to taking the spotlight. Some Leo's may want to be the centre of attention and simply demand to be noticed. Drama and an air of regality may also be their desires. However, not all Leos want the limelight. They can be even more influential when they are consistently noble and genuine. In fact, they can make a much bigger difference when they quietly give their supportive energy to those who really need it!
