What’s Your Sign?
The Sun’s Journey Through the Zodiac
What motivates you? What is your mission in life?
In Evolutionary Astrology, the Sun sign in your birth chart symbolizes the development of a coherent self-image; the natural and healthy form of your ego. In order to feel a sense of alignment and sanity, you must respond constructively to your Sun’s purpose. That is key to living a vibrant, authentic life.
The Sun is central to any discussion of the birth chart and sets the tone of one’s mission here on earth. When I say “I’m an Aquarius,” I’m referring to the Sun in my chart. Not the Moon, or Venus, or Mars (although they can be in the same sign as the Sun!). It’s one player on a stage of psychological actors that each have an agenda of their own as they strive for some form of integration. The director in all of this? The Sun.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
In the next twelve posts, I follow the path of the Sun around all twelve signs in the zodiac and offer a primer on the motivations and agendas of each sign. What drives the sign’s purpose? How can it be successful in its pursuit of sanity and feeling alive? What energies might “trip up” the sign if one is not mindful of its shadow side?
All of these questions help us navigate life in a more conscious and focused way. Bringing a sense of awareness and curiosity to all the signs - not just your Sun sign, but all twelve signs in the zodiac - helps us understand how to live more fully, more authentically. I ask that you approach this information with that same sense of curiosity! Enjoy 🙂

One note: If you are born on the cusp of a sign (meaning, right at the beginning or end date for that sign), you will need to know the exact time of your birth to determine if your sun is in the current or next sign. Knowing your time of birth is also critical in determining your ascendant (aka, your rising sign), which then positions all twelve zodiac signs on each of twelve houses within your birth chart. The houses are where the “rubber hits the road” if you will—where motivation becomes action on the grand stage of life.
