Like a mega-hyped version of the house/sector in your chart where you have Leo, the house in your chart where you have the Sun is VITAL. Get it right and you are set. Often, it is a natural focus for your Qi so it’s not exactly like an undiscovered little bit of your life that you rarely think about. It’s so You. The sector where the Sun shines is where you have to shine. It’s where you put the work in and you get to show off. It’s where you are blessed with a natural robust energy, charisma and guts. Polish up the house of the Sun and THRIVE.
eg; 5th House – you are a performer so live it. You could also be a flamboyant, old-school full-on parent, with a brood of mini-genius stars to show for it.
9th House – You need knowledge. You crave education. You actually are a citizen of the world.
2nd House – Prosperity and financial security are a form of creativity when YOU do it.
You get the idea? The Sun area is where you’ve got Heat. If you’re not feeling it, fix it fast with an injection of extra radiance, optimism and extra chutzpah. The Sun area is where you CAN do The Secret and it just works. It’s like astral serotonin. It’s also where you can become renowned. Do your Sun. Always.

Thanks for reminding me. Gemini Sun in the 4th. Leo 6th house.
This is so important…
Leo rules my MC and my sun is in the 4th house. 1º Pisces conjunct Jupiter. I LOVE my home (despite how many times it’s changed) I love to take refuge in it, I love to entertain in it, I love to do work in it if I can. Which, one day, I hope to run a massage therapy practice out of my home, but for now I’ll stick to voice overs from home while I do my very homey job of baking. Doesn’t get much more like home than freshly baked bread and cookies. 🙂
11th house virgo too.
I have hobbies alright. And plenty of aquantainces. It’s everything else I need to work on. :/
leo sun in the 9th! hmmm!
I hate my seventh house sun. Everything in the seventh is afflicted and I couldn’t get love if I was selling it. How am I supposed to “do” it without cooperation, huh?
Jennifer!! Wash your mouth out with soap. I’ll buy some 🙂
Jen, perhaps your Sun has other aspects? I say this because my Sun, 11th, is square Saturn. I don’t see squares or oppositions as afflictions but tensions and the impetus to evolve and grow. I could not do the Sun trine Uranus in Leo, 3rd (writing or utilizing the concrete, practical mind) if not for something substantial to back it up….like personal growth, etc.
Sweetpea
Sun in Cap in the 1st house…
what does it mean??
1st house Sun also and wish I could say … if the 1st is simply YOU … is this something so obvious it’s just not obvious? Hyping yourself? (I’m Kataka so this seems weird to me.) Or with asc. there is it more like physical appearance, self-presented-to-world?
Any other 1st-house suns out there with answers?
Well that’s what threw me off…. I know I’m fairly ostentatious and my moon in Leo really nudges the disposition towards vanity but I can’t really think about what else it really does. Perhaps it makes for a really strong sense of self?
fyi, my 1st house is actually in Sag (as is my ascendant, obvs), but my sun is at 3 deg. of Capricorn in the 1st house.
This is me too so am interested in any answers. Perhaps doubly so, as I’m Leo rising so my first house is Leo, plus my sun is there (but in Virgo) depending which house system is used. Sometimes it’s nudged over into the second. Am I a raging egomaniac?
8th house sun in Scorpio. Everything that goes along with that is highly appropriate.
Sun in 11th house virgo – is this the house of hopes/wishes? The wider world? It sounds like a tall order!
Nic see my reply to u above!
I really thought 11th house was Aquarius ruled? Given that Pisces is 12 and Aries 1st.. It’s often quite hard for me to be around my peers! Groups are my nemesis!Thanks though, for the input fluidfeline 🙂
Oops soz Nic – one too many wines Mon night – you’re right of course, I have Cap ruling MY 11th derr – back on Saturn girl track now 🙂 Virgo would be precision, super organised re groups (Lo Virgo could be nitpicky critical). Maybe you have strong aspects from outer planets effecting your Sun?
Got a big ol’ square going on from Neptune. I think my sensitivity, poor boundaries etc are probaby the deterrant to expressing my Virgoness in groups. Hmmm, that’s why I do better at work as my role is clearly defined – socially though, I need boundaries! Interesting! Thanks fluidfeline, mini-therapy session! Might you be Pisces Rising?
I have my Sun in Virgo 11th House also.
Are you a group oriented person? or a leader?
Think I can be quite bossy – struggle in groups unless in a professional capacity really. Really need a sense of the role I’m meant to play. Socially, I find being in groups makes me soo anxious. Do you find that too scorpiontailed? Or is your experience different?
Leo is on my MC. Heard alot of actors have that. My sun is in La Crab in the 8th. Apparently I am going to be dealing with public etc, truelly cringe-worthy for me, but I do it anyways.
Yah, your Leo in the 10th will handle it 😆
House of friends and groups also – have eyewitness to my Leoboy with 11th house Sun. Truly nothing makes him happier than being surrounded by peers and his “groups”. The fact that this is an earthy house (ie naturally ruled by Cap) makes it all the more easier for your Virgo expression Nic!
oops meant to reply to Nic below!
Ms Feline, something to do with bringing taboo into public. Does anyone wanna do it? Yes me lol.
up to date 3 of my best friends have come out gay to me and then publicly. One of them I completely fell for. Painful.
I have Leo MC also. I don’t think my acting skills are up to snuff though, but have acted in the past.
I am a reluctant public speaker also, but been told I was a natural. Maybe I should take speech and acting classes.
Yes do it!! I always contemplate doing the NAIDA short public speaking course to help me with my presentations. I think it’de be worth it.
Libran sun in 7th – relationships – is this the need to feel validated within relationships?
Venus & Mars in Leo in the 5th – creative self expression & fun
& CBA – Saturn riding one’s arse sux!! 🙂 xox

are you ok RLP? What do you mean you are sans apartment?!!

robo scorp – I meant sans apartment at the SNOW LOL it used to make it so easy, just decamp to the snowline per Pegs kind thoughts of embracing winter. god i wish I could – but stuck at home muddling le details!!
😉 xox
oh phew! i thought you were homeless!
Yes, busy muddling with le details myself in between many hours of procrastination. LOL.
Not a fan of the snow or the cold. I prefer to follow the sun and heat up north. 🙂
thanks for caring!!
yes I prefer HEAT / BEACH – but snowboarding is my sport & so if its gonna be cold it’s gotta be snow.
Am details focused sans procrastination – need to add lashings of order to my process tho to improve efficiency rate – a little ad hoc ATM 🙂 xox
Sun in my ninth house – politics, learning, philosophy, travel, ideas, world citizenship: bang on. It’s the area I can resort to make sense, even if nothing else does.
One question: I am an Aqua sun, but my ninth house is largely in Capricorn. What has the stronger influence? (And also – given that Saturn is leaving Virgo but will actually still be in my fifth house until the end of the year – does this mean 6 more months on Saturn gloom on all things fun?!)
Hi CBA. My understanding is that a House is ruled by the Sign that covers the cusp (first degrees) of that House. There are much better astrologers here than me so please correct this if I have it wrong. Re Saturn in your 5th House: that is not necessarily an “end to all things fun”. Try applying some of the other Saturnian qualities (I will put these in caps, ha ha) to 5th House issues. For example, Saturn’s transit through your 5th House may be a TIME for learning some LESSONS about 5th House things (eg. games, creative play, actual… Read more »
CBA, I have that too, still in bloody 2nd. Remember also saturn operates differently in libra to virgo, so less nit picking more balance?
Leo Sun in the third house, but conjunct Saturn & Pluto, so I tend not to be talkative and am hopeless at small talk. My writing skills are excellent however.
Well well well – sun in my 10th house and Leo in my 6th.
You could say that work / career is important to me. It is also the area of my life in which I’ll be demanding, egotistical, excessively talkative and will simply walk out on if I don’t get a certain amount of respect / authority / worship.
Spookily accurate.
sun 5th scorpio gem asc natural performer? I never thought so. I mean on paper an all, in a way, sure, but Scorpio is beyond shy at times about that kind of personal exposure. It’s not consistent. For me it was much more about having something to say- like any art- than people looking at you. I like to think that with all ripping off and backstabbing that there was moments that made people inspired, happy and free to express themselves. Making up characters is one of the most natural things in the world to me at times. I hope… Read more »
Ms, sounds like your Scorpio Sun looks for the deeper purpose in 5th House issues such as play, games, creativity, storytelling.
its true Nat it needs meaning and something powerful or cathartic.
sun is conjunct merc and uranus too. I was actually a performer so it’s relevant but I had always wondered about my need for total privacy at times vs the need to be on show. I seem to take very personal things of myself and throw them into the world, then kill them when I am done with it.
between the jester and the whore its been an interesting ride
….if anyone feels like explaining how this is done…? I’d be mighty pleased :0)
You go to Astrodeinst site (link on left) and you can do your natal (birth) chart for free. You just need date, time and place of birth.
I have Gemini Sun in the third house sharing with with Venus & Moon!
Communications is my thing & not so much the sibling thing! Oh & thank god for the internet, I can learn all day when time permits! 🙂
Wow, maybe you should be a writer Gemmy!
My Sun in 11th but if doing houses in Koch (a different house style than the familiar Placidus, some, like Evolutionary Astrology use Koch), Sun in 10th. They both seem to fit.

Leo sun in the 2nd House. It’s been my dirty little secret since I discovered my birth details. In fact I was quite down-hearted about it!! I mean ‘Yay! I am luxury loving hoarder’?? My sister always said that I was the most materialistic spiritually-oriented person she had ever met… Friends have told me having a well developed earth energy is really important to actualising the spiritual and not to shun it, but I still feel a bit confused as to how to channel this in a positive way. The only aspect of finances and security that I have taken… Read more »
In addition to obvious 2nd House issues like movable possessions, things & $, this House also covers assets & resources such as your personal values, talents & self esteem.
Well I am working on those issues too! Thanks for that nat. Self-esteem taking a hit while being domesticated to the max during all this crazy eclipsy astro!
what I said for Sassy … same goes with you love! Parenting must be taking up a lot of energy … and Leo’s (especially the women) are some of the most staunchly protective mother’s I’ve ever met. It’ll come to you in time … ps. glad to see you back. 😉
Found Scorpio Mothers can be like that…great protectors
maybe coz they don’t want anyone else to eat their offspring.
True. I have Vesta, Cancer in 2nd, opposite Moon. When not honoring that light, self esteem issues can come up but then the Goddess aspect of everything has/does needs healing as well as the male/domination aspect…
We all need it. Noone on earth is immune…
Self-actualise your value system Andromeda.
Doesn’t need to be done in material ways.
Or think about how you trade some materials/values off for others, think about why etc.
ah I can feel a nerd attack coming on.
Thanks Prowln, glad to see you back! Yes it is hard physical work mothering but I loooove it. I am hugely protective as a mum, it would kill me to have to work! Weirdly, given what a hands on Mama I am, I have Uranus/Pluto in my 4th house?! Oh, Moon in Scorpio here Pegasus, might explain… no, I don’t think that explains your comment?! Bring on the nerd attack shell, ‘I want to go to there’ 🙂 I do live my value system more or less, though I am not as green as I would like to be or… Read more »
my Leo sister (who has 3 kids all under 5) loves being a mum too and has no intention of working until they’re at school. She is ferociously protective as well. I’m dying to babysit my niece but I reckon she’ll be 16 before she lets me. 😆
Andromeda……don’t mind me having a dig at Scorp Mums
coz i worshipped the ground she walked in her beautifully shod
feet. Truly. Just that she would have made a better sister than
parent is all x
It is a good one isn’t it nat?! Pegasus, thought it was very funny, my mum is multiple Scorp but she would have been better as a great-aunt twice removed…ooh, that sounds mean, she was just very silent and not exactly sentimental – but very gentle and sweet really. I don’t know how edible she found us though, lol. Your mum sounds glamorous as all get-out. I’d go a 3rd scorpalicious, but I don’t think I can do another pregnancy, am getting older and my body is just not built for it, I am totally addicted to baby-endorphins to be… Read more »
“Self-actualise your value system” Love it shell! A daily mantra and life line in difficult situations. So simple really… 🙂
3rd house. always got recognized for my excellent writing in school, starting in first grade (my teacher made a big deal about how great and well written my stories were). only 22 so we’ll see from now on…
mmm sun gem in the 8th house… but all this transformation can be a bit anti-social, and with all the talk about sex and death and the occult, I have to surround myself with scorps, but they just dont wanna talk that much! No thats not completely true! I get ya mystic, youve just gotta do your sun house… great thanks for the tip!
Sun in the 10th House, in Virgo. Also have Mercury, Pluto, and Uranus squeezed into the same house, all also in Virgo. Astrologers always ask me if I’m in the health field. Alas, I’m not. Maybe that’s why I’m so unhappy with my career. In fact I feel very disconnected from my 10th house. I know it’s significant with the Sun and all those planets there, but I just don’t “feel” it. All 10th housers out there please tell me!
10th House also covers status or position in society, authority, career, life’s work, father issues…
Virgo is concerned with health & hygeine but also analysis, methods & systems, routine, service to others, taking a critical and discriminating approach (eg. editiorial work or reseaching & analysing details, not just in the area of health). Do any of these feel like a natural way to shine for you? Remember “Low” Virgo can be nagging and over critical 😉
InchbyInch, I would also look to the planets aspecting your Sun and the 10th house. Maybe you have Neptune opposing your Sun or something.
IBI – I’ve 10th house sun Gem sun, and merc, venus in 10th but Taurus as well. I defn live my job, but my job is not an easy extrapolation of just being a Gem.
As Nat and Robots suggest, other fatcors come into play, in my case things on my asc, and also north node stuff. Maybe look at your part of fortune too.
Incidentally, it was saturn return that set me properly on my path, 10th house sun is saturnian. Maybe look forward/back to that?
moi
I have a tenth house sun too, & I believe it represents destiny! Emancipation & self-realisation, the ultimate practical way of expressing oneself on earth – that may be through work or it may thru your life mission, what you become known for. Virgo could be leading through example, as there is an obvious spiritual side to ‘the virgin’ that isn’t often touched on. What Nat says seems spot on. I have Venus in Taurus conjunct my Midheaven, therefore I have had an unshakeable faith in my destiny as some kind of artist – poet, filmmaker, storyteller, musician – from… Read more »
My Libra Sun is in the 6th house – which, according to Astrodienst, is the house of “work environment, daily routine, behavior towards subordinates and bodily hygiene.”
Um, my extra special magical life radiance, optimism and chutzpah are in BODILY HYGIENE??
(Completely depressed now. 🙁 )
Means go have a spa bath with of beautiful essential oils then a full body massage by a cutie of your choice.
O-in-L I have 6th house Sun too (Leo) You shine through perfecting (6th is Virgo’s natural house) routine responsibilities and health maintenance (good for gym regularity). Also I’m guessing you are great at balancing service, your co-workers and subordinates. Pets are also a 6th house thing. To take it further look at where your Venus is and her aspects for more hints as Venus rules Libra.
Me three; taurus sun in the 6th, along with Mercury, Venus, Mars and Chiron. That makes my head ache just doing the roll call. But thanks FF, your description helped a lot, and the pets thing: I read yr words after returning from walking the three dogs, not all my own but have really noticed how comfortable and whole I feel with the pack and their requirements. They balance my wafty, firey, neptuney bits.
Interesting suggestion, fluidfeline – thanks.
Venus Virgo (yet more work/service/hygiene) – in the 5th house. Massively aspected (4 planets & the ascendent). Head spinning (my astro knowledge not sophisticated enough to make sense of all that yet.)
My sun is in the 6th too, in Pisces. I enjoy working at a daily job, the only problem I see with a 6th house sun is that I tend to over-identify myself as my job. I am my job. For example, I am an attorney, or police officer, fireman, etc… But if you are not doing that job you lose your sense of identity.
I dunno 2Natured .. the 6th house Sun placement is a huge call to public service (much needed) without getting a whole bunch of gratitude for the long hours, potential danger and disruption to personal life that entails. And the Pisces sun would have a great desire for peace. Someone’s gotta do that stuff! Reminds me of that brill series Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren playing the role of fiesty Jane Tennyison. Probably the only real liability I can see is perhaps martyring oneself to the job with not enough time out for personal nourishment due to overidentification with what… Read more »
Not that it is any of my beeswax but I think an apology is so dignified – gratis (?) prowln!
That’s very true about the need to do something for public service. Combine that with Neptune in the 2nd house. Working for public good and don’t care so much about the money. Except when the mortgage is due!
My apologies also. Water under the bridge….and all that.
Thank you. I really appreciate that! 🙂
Thanks for all the comments – it’s very interesting to see the other feedback on 6th house Sun. More than almost anything else in my chart, this Sun-house thing seems to be kicking up my inner baggage. Anyone else finding that? For me, the issue is that I was raised to see life as drudgery – so anything that smacks of obligatory service hits my rage buttons. I never wanted to be anything but creative & exploratory – writer, artist, dancer – but I kept getting pushed into sensible professions. I always get feedback from other people that I would… Read more »
btw, I mentioned around the time of the Full Moon Eclipse that I’d done a dreamboard, amazing stuff, I ended up revising it 3 times as issues from the past came up, one from a dream YEARS ago, and it was like realising how rich my life was with family and friends. If anyone’s interested, Jamie Ridler at Jimie Ridler Studies runs the Full Moon Dreamboard stuff, but you can do it on your own at home.
I have my sun in the 12th house in Libra. I was really relieved to read that my desire to have solitary times arose from this placement. And thanks, Nat, for your comments, yes, I can tune into people, am psychic, love spiritual stuff, natter with crystals. Once I understood why, it all made sense.
OOOO another Crystal Communicator.
I put mine on top of books i want to grok
overnight, sometimes under my bed, then walk around
with the crystal in my hand the next day hoping for the instant
download.
Well, they are beautiful to hold…..
Shock of my life when the buggers started talking to me, but now I caretake around 700 crystals of all sorts. They call me, show pics of themselves in my mind, let me know when they want to pass on to someone else. I teach people how to open up to crystals and I’ve been wracking my brains for the right term, not crystal teacher because it implies all sorts of “omigodaren’tIbrilliant” sort of stuff, when anyone can get the hang of it. but Crystal Communicator is terrific. Thanks, Pegasus!
Hmmmm….Sun in 4th house? Family, groups, home, the environment? I wouldn’t have guessed that…Surprise! What if something is almost on the line between houses? How do you interpret that?
A to M – if a planet (or Sun/Moon) is at the end of a house it is interpreted as in the next house – have read that many times but not sure of the reasoning behind it. Is your Sun at end of 4th? If it is then look at Sun in 5th interps to see if that fits you better.
I have Sun and Merc in 5th in Kataka but Sun at 23 deg so that’s really the 6th house? Or both? Have True Node in Leo in the 6th. Confused : //
I just recalled being called a “ferocious mother” last year by an older woman I greatly admire. She is a retired teacher, and I was chatting to her about my vocational loves of nursing and teaching and the quandry of self actualisation and the persistant parental needs of my kids. I’m thinking that my vocational realms are the key for helping my kids. Both my boys have learning and behavioural probs, plus I’m a single income lone parent. She told me I’d end up being a WOW – (Wise Old Woman!) I’m not so sure !!!! Maybe just an old… Read more »
And just to keep it all interesting and challenging, how’s this for our family dynamic ; I’m Cancer/ Aqua rising, older son Leo/ Aries rising and younger son Pisces/ Scorp rising!
Vee those family dynamics very familiar to me – Leo Sun/Kataka Moon/Fish riser with Multiple Aqua daughter with Scorp rising and Toro moon and Virgo rising Leo Sun/Aries Moon son and their father is Leo rising Scorp Sun/Libra Moon! Fixed intensity does this mutable felines head in at times!
2nd house Cancerian. Not surprising I’m self employed. There’s plenty of other freedom loving aspects in my natal chart that support this, but the bottom line is – have never felt any kind of buzz or “going anywhere” when earning a wage. Ditto for money, wealth or material possessions not accrued 100% off my own bat.
I love it when people own it like this x
also 2nd house cancer. wish i could say the same.
hey Sassy … you’re parenting a young child at the moment no? I would imagine that creating a secure and reliable home base would be at the top of your list of priorities right now. I’ve had to take a massive hit financially to do what I’m doing and haven’t spent a cent on personal luxuries for nearly two years now. Every ounce of profit goes back into the biz – printing, advertising, upgrading hardware and software, further training etc. Often times I can go for months without getting “paid”. I’ll get a few grand in the bank and then… Read more »
Hope that is happening to you Prowlers.
The adage ‘you get out of it what you put into it’
always comes true.
Your’e lookin’ good.
It’ll happen Pegs. The thing that makes it sweet already? That I LOVE what I do … I consider myself extremely lucky on that front alone!
For some reason i thought you had a child? I always seem to have enough $$ no matter what though, if that is a 2nd house thing or crab thing? Also have venus in 2nd. Yes crabbies are savvy in finance, its the security thing…
Good luck with your ventures and you are already ustilising your 2nd house sun.. Its great that you love what you do too…not many people out there do.
Yeah, I thought you mentioned a little girl in your previous posts too!
Wow your story is amazing, I too have been working for myself for 2 years but haven’t seen it go off yet, have also taken a massive hit after working for wages but not sure whether to go back to work or stick at it? I need a new home base too and about to commit to one that is more $$ than I think I can afford, but it will allow me to shed old skins & possessions and be safe and sound among lovely things – oh so important. Went for an interview today that could pay well… Read more »
hiya Crabgirl .. replying to you here, but resonate with what Rockstar said below. Working for oneself I believe is as much of a “vocational calling” than … being a doctor, lawyer, politician, farmer. It’s something “in the bones”. You KNOW it because you’re passionate about it – no reservations. Anything else makes you feel blaaaaaaaah. The thing I’ve learned is that the $$$’s are an illusion my own fear based mind puts up in front of me as a barrier. That financial security thing is tied into other deep rooted subconscious fears – fear of success, fear of failure,… Read more »
Thanks Prowln & Rockstar – wise words indeed. Wow, I really get what you’re saying about $$ linked to deeper issues – I get now that security comes from within, and now people are coming to me a bit more…maybe I’m starting to move through those levels ie fear of believing in myself! I have 2nd house in Capricorn, so I realise now I need to have more structure and order and organisation with $$ and when I did, things worked better! So another lesson here, more insights/eureka moments that I’m so grateful for. So much to think about, thank… Read more »
Prowlers – same same re no buzz from earning a wage …. well kinda – the only time I did was when I started the designer emporium that’s now owned by the biggest retailer in the country – was fun when I started / ran it cos it was my idea & I was part of it. was no fun when the big guys came in wanting turnover per sq m Crab girl – stick it out if yr hearts set on being own boss. oddly pretty much EVERYONE I know / my family is self employed (or business owner)… Read more »
Mines in 7th house. Relationship central. This is a forte of mine and I do it with authenticity – no networking manipulator here. I have always been the organiser of friends= keeper in touch etc but not so needy about it now like i use to be. Maybe thats why I can’t do facebook = my previous ‘need to be liked’ obsession ( moon in scorp) would be on high rotation there. No thanks I love my true friends, family and work colleagues and the oldies i look after and now new Libra/rooster crush all on moslty the same level.… Read more »
i beg to differ. Your ‘need to be liked’ obsession is Leo not Scorp. Scorps don’t give a shit if nobody likes them.
sorry about that. I think you meant the ‘obsession’ part was Scorp. That would be correct. 🙂
agreed scorpio anywhere doesn’t care about popularity via external falsehood like facebook nor seek approval in that way at all. if anything you’d be screening them 😉 x
correct scorpio was the obsessive side. need to be liked is Leo – shazam! But now I am more mature ‘cough cough” I’ve dropped that obsession.
well, i have a younger Leo sister. She was always complaining that i never said enough nice things about her. I don’t like doing it when its expected.
Lucky she married a Libran who dotes on her and pays her compliments all the time. 🙂
Shoulda gone with a Libran then, Gem Hub is always truthful at the most inappropriate of times..
I’m new to this.
So I idly go and have a look at where my Sun is… oh yes, the Twelfth House, and then I look that up and… Holy Moly! DOOM & GLOOM!
ARGH!
I mean, life is difficult, but does this mean it will never stop being difficult?!!
vera, 12th House is so not doom & gloom! We don’t do doom & gloom here. How about this take on the 12th House instead: sprirituality, faith, psychic experiences, connecting with other worlds/dimensions, physical and mental retreats, imagination, dreams, serenity, poetry. Sounds pretty good to me.
Granted, the “low end/dark side” of 12th house is not pretty (addictions, dependencies, illegal or hidden things) but you have a choice about whether you dwell on that stuff or not.
Me too Vera – sun in 12th – aries at that. Kind of weird I have always felt.
Most interpretation seems so negative, I am glad to hear of the imagination, dreams stuff. I certainly am renowned for being ‘dreamy’ head-in-the-clouds in my family, and I am a visual artist, so quite used to the creative thinking, secret or hidden deeper meaning stuff. I don’t know how you power shine in the twilight though??
hints anyone?
That’s interesting that you are a visual artist. I’m a musician.
So the imagination thing is right for both of us.
yes!
well apparently john lennon and janice joplin were sun in 12th house -so looks like you are in good company Vera!
i tend to find patterns, connections or meaning from overlooked things, and think about my art practice as a ‘pointing out’ or noticing, this might be very 12th house i think.
and yes all creative people can definitely relate to self confindence issues, insecurity etc. I often struggle with getting recognition and hate promoting my work really, also maybe 12th housey?
Astrodienst is a sensational resource but some of their interps can be a bit neg. 12th house is hot! You are psychic, for a start, & some say 12th house Sun means you have been around the karmic block a few times…
Phew.
Thanks.
xx
Hey Nat,
I find it quite interesting that the “dark side” of imagination, retreat, dreams is hidden things. It makes sense. Also, popularly, psychics and their skills are often portrayed as “dark” or even “illegal” in some kind of moral sense. Hmmm.
Panic over. This is much more interesting to consider.
“The twelfth house is thus where we build inner strength to overcome limitations, sorrows and fears, and where the individual adapts to the collective. It signifies self-undoing: where we stand in our own way, where we are not free to let ourselves become and be who we essentially already are. It also represents that which is hidden, karma, limitation, confinement, prison, betrayal, sacrifice, hospitals and institutions, nuns and priests, secrets and secret enemies (who may just be rejected aspects of ourselves), initiation, ultimate understanding, and charity given or received.” jeez they make it sound so peachy. But yep i guess… Read more »
Sun in twelfth and in Leo. That piece you just quoted is my life to a tee. Thank you so much, ‘balancing’, you certainly balanced me a little just then.
Big love
Whoa. That is full on.
It makes a lot of sense to me though if I think about it as a song-writer. A lot of my songs are about the negative aspects of love (e.g. betrayal, sacrifice, burden). And one of the things about being an artist is that you are expressing things a lot of people think and feel but are unable to articulate.
The self-undoing thing is interesting too, in terms of things like writers block and insecurity and the various difficulties involved with being creative and being in the public eye. Being your own worst enemy.
Fascinating.
I have Sun in 12th & Saturn in 8th. I don’t read it negatively
at all. It explains soooo much about me to me.
…………and why i walk such an instant karmic fine line.
Close friendships endure over decades & have strong psychic
bonds with them. Has many experiences with ‘frenameys’
& am very self indulgent. No-0ne can do gourmet poverty like me.
Have really LIVED the 12th House, every witch way & loose…lol
Wrong House!!!! It’s Venus in 12th…hahahah
Sun in 11th….back to the maps to re-read.
Sun-Venus, they are not too far apart 🙂
Yup, lerve ma friends, we are all miles apart & different
States even but so enduring & real.
Leo in Saturn = my lessons are bighuge ones?
Pegs, your saturnine lessons are leonic themes – pride and leadership amongst others come to mind. But you have your lovely Sun trine in Saggo – and by now you have gleaned your Saturn lessons from lead to gold babes. Just from listening to your spiritual take here at darling Mystic’s site I am sure you are more than on track – you are leading the way. This fits with an 11th house Sun (natural ruler is Cap aka Saturn) see the synchronicity? My darling Leo boy has a loaded 11th house including his Sun and I literally witness the… Read more »
Sweet~ I’ve got my sun in the 12th house, in saggitarius, partialy in scorpio.
I love lots of weird, strange unexplained stuff. Ghosts, aliens etc. I’m really interested in metaphysical type stuff also. I’m also a big daydreamer and I like poetry and serenity, I hardly ever get angry or anything. But I’ve got so many earth signs I don’t have much psychic ability, I’m pretty sure.
ohwait for some reason I was ooking at the moon. It’s ate, I’m tired. xP My sun is in my 8th house.
Think there’s a heap of famous peeps with 12th house Suns – possibly read that on Astrodeinst articles?
Tauro’s DO have great wine collections don’t they.
Just spent a week dogsitting with my CowGirl. Sign
on fridge ‘life’s too short to drink bad wine’.
Fridge always packed to the gills with gourmet titbits.
Gotta luv ’em FF.
I am seriously a 12th House person. Sun, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and North Node (all Virgo). My ascendant is directly on the cusp of Libra and Virgo and my houses (particularly 12th) line up directly with the signs (which is why it took me so long to understand the house thing – I thought evey chart looked like that). I am very deeply drawn to the spiritual – whether it’s past lives, karma, religion (any religion), faith, Mother Nature, natural magic or deep spiritual connections with people. If there’s spirit and soul involved, it will appeal to me. My wife… Read more »
I am also a 12th house sun person xx interesting number of people here with sun in 12th house – clearly a lot of fire and energy for astro and spirituality.
i think there is also a connect with the universal throb of the collective
i can connect very deeply with strangers when i am traveling – just this instant understanding – which i think of as being a sun in the 12th thing
Oh – I so get that too – the instant understanding and connection with strangers when I travel.
Sun in 9th House, in Cancer. Yep, love learning. Especially if it leads to practical outcomes for people. In my area of work that is scientific reseach to help farmers. I find it fairly easy to think global but act local, love science & philosophy & morals – all the 9th House things.
i also have sun in the 9th in cancer, love learning, but pretty much only when it’s something i feel will *truly* make me grow/change my outlook/teach me something important.. have a lot of trouble concentrating on anything that’s not life changing, basically, haha.. which sucks 🙂
10th house here. Does this just mean I am a workaholic?!
Oh, &, um, in Virgo. Extra-mega workaholic points?
Yes. You should run the world
Hahahah I love you!
I have sun in the 10th…not just sun but full house stellium partying in there too. I’m no workaholic but my calling comes first! It’s the one part of my chart that does well.
i have sun in 10th too and always do well work wise. Have been a workaholic in the past but lately I’ve been unmotivated and haven’t worked for weeks.
Got two weeks of work coming up next week.
Hopefully my sun will shine and lift my spirits
YEA same!
sun in the 10th stellium! right next to Mercury, Jupiter, Moon & Pluto… all under Saggo! I cant wait to see what career i’ll end up in! BUT with saggo does that mean i’ll be a constant changer? like i wont stay in one set occupation?
No, with the concentration of planets in one house it usually means you have great focus on just one occupation, but with Saggo, it will have to be an occupation where you move around a lot. Especially for your emotional well-being (cuz Moon is there too). Travel agent? Airline pilot? Look at what planet is closest to the midheaven for ideas on the character of the profession.
I like the what’s near the midheaven thing. I’ve jupiter and point of fortune just off MC in 9th. No wonder I’m still successfully in school.
omg thankyou!
WELL ive got Jupiter and Pluto SMACK BANG on top of one another, 2 degrees from my Midheaven…
Pluto and Jupiter? secret agent? LOL i leaning towards a media/law degree atm in my life…
Matt you’re a mogul with a mission. Nothing will stand in your way career wise I’m guessing. Pluto/Jupiter conjunct MC is the mark of a politician. Matty for PM 🙂
LOL FF I LOVE YOU!
lol! i still have no idea what a Mogul is…. its not even on google!
a politician!? omg you know what, that is about the 7th time someone has suggested that occupation to me! twice in the last month!
lol PM? lol i dont think i’d have the stomach to do what Julia Gillard did to KRudd (like i’m full supportive of her and stuff, but man a bit harsh?)
MM
😆 mogul = A very rich or powerful person; a magnate. And yeah twas a bit harsh on KRudd – demolition astro indeed.
OHHHH I suddenly like the Mongul indicator!
I have sun in the 8th house – this is about common property & material loss according to Astrodienst – how do you ‘do’ common property & loss?! Is it about letting things go and reinventing again? Paying tax on time or even early? Sorry if I’m missing something obvious, would love some guidance from Astro-fiends!!!!

Crabgirl, 8th House also covers intimacy, deep bonding or commitments, sexuality, shared resources (I think that is what you are referring to above?), the cycles of birth & death in the broadest sense i.e. transformation. The 8th House is Scorpio’s house: being aware of deeper purposes, doing things intensely or transformatively at a deep level, renewal & regeneration. Happy birthday btw!
great to see you nat! 🙂
Happy Birthday prowln! Hope you have a fabulous day honouring your lovely self x x
O Nat….have just drawn an Hibiscus from memory
without a pix. Just a pencil outline at mo until i refine
it. It is going to be red as i have idea for printed pareo
i want made on white fabric.
Nice one Pegasus. What is a pareo?
A sarong…..I guess it’s a pareo in the pacific ocean
& sarong in the Indian ocean.
Wow Nat thank you! That makes heaps more sense now…and yes I have a strong requirement for intimacy/depth and undergoing a massive personal transformation right now! Thanks for clarifying that and for the birthday wishes! 2 weeks till the official day however the ‘festival’ has already started!
IMHO personal transformation & authenticity rock Crabgirl. Keep up the good work.
Yup crabgirl … no faffing around with the frivalous and the false for you! It’s depth authenticity or nuthin ..
ha ha people often say I’m really deep and a bit intense! I hate people who are false and I’m trying really hard to be more authentic within myself too.
Crabgirl- me too. And thank you for asking the question as I too was a bit baffled re: 8th house but the need for intimacy etc to make me feel alive is so true!
8th house sun here too – the intensity and authenticity gels with me – never seen the point of relationships that are not intense, real, intimate and honest.
Probably makes me a very trying friend/ lover but hey, I’m doin’ it my way or the highway!
Yes, exactly that for me.
Me 17th – don’t play false, I just walk away. If you say it, mean it, cos I do catch you out, and my god, contempt from a Scorp is pretty wounding…. for both of us.
Scorp Sun, 8th house.
