Astrology is an ancient divination that studies the position of the sun, moon and the planets in the twelve zodiac positions at the exact moment of a person birth so as to be able to predict the person future. Astrology studies the movements of these planets and the effect they have on human behavior. However, this is a more simplistic definition of Astrology; it contains much more in depth aspects and is more complicated than it seems.
The sun and the moon, the two illuminary heavenly bodies are very important from the point of view of astrology. The position of the sun and the moon on the natal astrological chart exerts tremendous influence on a human being life and behavior as well as can indicate future events.
The sun position plays an important role in popular astrology. The position of the sun at the time of the birth of a person is a major indicator of his personality but at the same time it is not all conclusive. The sun is a majestic, life sustaining and illuminary energetic force in nature and therefore can be regarded as the most influential heavenly body in astrology. Sun is the only source of light in our milky way galaxy and ene the moon is illuminary but reflects sun’s light only.
The movements of the sun affect different aspects of a person life. Astrology considers the sun to be the center of our existence and all our activities. The sun, in activity represents the self. Apart from shaping a person personality, the sun is also responsible for his ego, spirit and his uniqueness as an individual.
It also occupies an important role in astrology, because it gives strength to other planets. The sun favorable position, in a person astrological chart, shows the level of strength, vigor, wisdom, dignity, generosity and even the level of maturity in a person.
