When the natal Sun is in the first house, your strengths and gifts shine visibly. You are blessed with talent and confidence and aren’t afraid to take center stage. You can be charming and attractive because your optimism radiates to others.

You are also likely to be straightforward in an almost childlike manner. It doesn’t occur to you to lie and typically you are so transparent that deception doesn’t figure in to your personality at all.

You may become arrogant if not careful to keep your energy moderated. This is because you are so sure of yourself and highly aware of your mission. You don’t always realize that you are stealing the show and need to be careful to let others shine in the spotlight as well.

Sun in House 2

You can be extra lucky when it comes to attracting valuable resources from money to antiques, art or cars. Whether income is up or down you land on your feet and remain optimistic.

This slightly lucky predisposition can make you over optimistic at times. You may tolerate taking risks with money because you trust that you will always find what you need. Usually you are proven correct.

You are drawn to creating security through your charismatic style and can charm others and influence people to believe in your plans. You can become materialistic yet are seldom stingy.

Sun in your fourth house places emphasis on home and family. You are at your best when you feel secure. You are drawn to home life and may prefer entertaining at home to going out on the town.

Your focus is on family and any other drive to succeed in career or love life all comes back to the core desire to create a comfortable nest where you can nurture those you love.

You can be highly sensitive and may be introverted especially early on in relationships. You are closely connected to the past and to your own family and upbringing. You may surround yourself with tokens of your own childhood and reminders of your family’s past.

Sun in House 5

You can be like Peter Pan, never fully growing up and as such you may feel comfortable with children and younger people.

You love adventure and may take risks both in recreation and with money. Whether you win or lose is inconsequential, you will be off in search of the next quest.

Your creativity and radiance easily attracts others to you and you may resist settling down into a serious relationship until later in life, opting instead to play the game of love for as long as you can.

It may be difficult for you to maintain self confidence when relationships aren’t going well. You are likely to judge difficulties in partnership as a personal failing rather than separating yourself and your needs from those of your partner.
