Sun Signs and its Powers: Introduction

“Omg, you’re such an Aries!”, Have you ever considered the hidden meaning behind the phrase? Wondering why anti-Scorpio jokes are so prevalent in people’s dating app profiles?

Interested in learning more about what it’s like to be a Gemini? The first step is to become familiar with your sun sign.

According to astrology, your personality’s core traits are determined by the sun sign you are born under. It’s what we mean when we use the term “Sun Sign” and when someone asks what your sign is.

However, it’s a fact that there are still some people who do not relate to their sun sign’s traits quite as much as others, and this can be because there is so much more to astrology than your sign.

What are Sun Signs?

As per astrology, the zodiac is an imaginary belt around the sky that extends about 8 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, the plane of Earth’s orbit, and the apparent annual path of the Sun.

As per both Western and Vedic astrology, the zodiac is divided into twelve sectors in which each astrology sign occupies 30-degree sectors of the ecliptic.

The sun sign of a person can be any one of the twelve zodiac signs that the sun occupies during his/her birth.

 

Importance of Sun Sign

The sun is who you are. You radiate your spirit out into the world. It stands for the dynamic energy that propels you to look for your actual self in its highest form.

Your sun sign determines how you experience life, express your unique personality, and respond to the question “Who am I?”

It also stands for the kind of energy you require to feel refreshed. For instance, knowing your sun sign’s element might help you better understand your propensity for self-expression and your recharging style.

Sun Sign and Your Personality

If Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius are the air signs that your sun falls under, you enjoy intellectual expression and frequently find energy in social situations.

you have a sun sign that belongs to the fire signs, like Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, physical exercise (such as a virtual workout) and goal-setting inspire and refuel you, and you possess an aspirational nature.

If your sun sign falls under the earth signs, such as Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you are driven by practical considerations and tangible requirements.

You find energy by working with the real world, achieving goals, and satisfying your senses.

If your solar sign is a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces), you are driven by intense emotional impulses and find renewal in emotional experiences (consider practicing mindfulness through meditation) and close relationships with others.

 

Assumptions related to sun signs

Of the most common curiosities is “What are the best zodiac signs?” along with its evil twin, “What are the worst zodiac signs?”

Let me set the record straight: In astrology, there are no winners or losers. When you enter the metaphysical realm (the world of stars, tarot cards, tea leaves, etc.), that black-and-white binary goes straight out the window.

In this magical, mystical domain, we work with nuance. Every sign is a powerful, vital piece in the puzzle that is the zodiac.

The four elements — air signs, fire signs, water signs, and earth signs — all work together to create a comprehensive whole, which shows up in your life as your unique personality traits.

Although astrology is an extremely complex study, the most fundamental principle of astrology centers on the 12 familiar star signs of the zodiac.

Over the centuries, each sign has developed its associations — including myths, animals, and colors — and its characteristics. Every sign is illuminated by its point of view, complete with powerful strengths and exhausting weaknesses.

Characteristics of various Sun Signs

ARIES

The first sign of the zodiac, Aries loves to be number one. Naturally, this dynamic fire sign is no stranger to competition.

TAURUS

The bull represents Taurus, an earth sign in astrology. Like their celestial spirit animal, Taureans enjoy relaxing in serene, bucolic environments surrounded by soft sounds, soothing aromas, and succulent flavors.

GEMINI

Gemini, symbolized by the celestial twins, is driven by its insatiable curiosity, making it spontaneous, playful, and adorably erratic. This air sign is interested in so many pursuits that it feels the need to double itself.

CANCER

Represented by the crab, Cancer seamlessly weaves between the sea and shore representing Cancer’s ability to exist in both emotional and material realms.

LEO

Roll out the red carpet because Leo has arrived. Passionate, loyal, and infamously dramatic, Leo is represented by the lion and these spirited fire signs are the kings and queens of the celestial jungle.

VIRGO

Virgos are logical, practical, and systematic in their approach to life.  This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn’t afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice.

LIBRA

Balance, harmony, and justice define Libra energy. As a cardinal air sign, Libra is represented by the scales.

SCORPIO

Elusive and mysterious, Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac.

SAGITTARIUS

Oh, the places Sagittarius goes! But… actually. This fire sign knows no bounds. Represented by the archer, Sagittarians are always on a quest for knowledge.

CAPRICORN

What is the most valuable resource? For Capricorn, the answer is clear: Time. Capricorn is climbing the mountain straight to the top and knows that patience, perseverance, and dedication are the only way to scale.

AQUARIUS

Innovative, progressive, and shamelessly revolutionary. At the end of the day, Aquarius is dedicated to making the world a better place.

PISCES

If you looked up the word “psychic” in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Pisces next to it. Pisces is the most intuitive, sensitive, and empathetic sign of the entire zodiac — and that’s because it’s the last of the last.

 

 

How Does Sun Sign Affects your Personality

All astrological signs and planetary bodies have their unique ways of influencing our personalities. Our personality can be affected by not only one zodiac sign but also two-star signs, as per astrology.

If you are born at the start or end of a sun sign, the other sign that comes before or after your sign will also influence your personality, as stated in astrology.

The movement of the sun on the astrological signs determines your behavior in that period.

The sun moves across all the star signs changing its position on them and this affects the personality. So, your behavior depends on the month and the position of the sun on the sign.

Even the current position of the sun affects your personality and influences it as well.

The position decides how we will behave. For example, during the Capricorn season (December and January) we generally get very happy and spend money a lot.

 

Conclusion

The sun is your identity. It is the essence that you shine out into the world.

It represents the vital force that drives you to seek the highest expression of your true self.

Your sun sign is how you answer the question “I am” and how you experience life and express your individuality.
