Your Sun is also called your sign or sun sign. It is determined by the position in which the star was, when compared to the 12 constellations of the zodiac, on the day you were born. In general, the Sun represents your essence, the main highlights of your personality and the way you show yourself in the world.

Making an analogy to the functioning of our solar system, consider that the sun is at the center and the planets revolve around it. As with astrology, the other stars are around your sun sign, as it is the purpose of your current life and the role of others is to help and help you find balance for growth.

The Sun also represents your vital energy, being different and with unique intensities for each sign. Its combination with the other stars will also show which may be the sensitive points of your health or even your metabolism. He is also the representation of the male archetype or Yang energy, linked to active and linear creativity.


Likewise, the Moon in your birth chart is determined through the position of that satellite, when compared to the position of the 12 constellations of the zodiac, exactly at the moment you were born. It defines the points related to your intuitive capacity, how sensitive you can be to energies and emotions, in addition to other more intimate aspects of your personality.

While the Sun represents vital energy, the Moon shows how it will be distributed and spent. So, if your Sun is related to a sign with lower vital energy, like Cancer, for example, and the Moon with strong momentum, like in Aquarius, you may feel tired more easily than other people. That is, this relationship between the two stars has a strong relationship with the physical and spiritual.

The Moon is the representation of the feminine archetype or the Yin. She is creative, cyclical and receptive. Your lunar sign greatly reflects the degree of need for security and protection, which can be of greater or lesser intensity, for each person. It also has a link with what has already passed and is linked to the behavioral addictions of other times, helping to deal with them.


To determine your ascendant, it is essential to know the exact time of birth. That’s because it is related to the zodiacal constellation that is to the east at the time you take your first breath. It is totally related to your abilities and impulses, in addition to your natural gifts in certain areas.

While the sun represents your essence and focus in the current incarnation and the moon is the knowledge accumulated over time, your ascendant is the predominant way of your behavior in the current condition. That is, there are chances that you look more like your ascendant than your sun sign – the one you find in the horoscope.

Your ascendant shows how you are likely to behave in different situations and how to walk the paths more safely. Unlike the Sun and the Moon, he is not a star, but a magnetic point marked on his map that represents the constellation that was there at the exact moment of his birth. Thus, he is ground zero, the initial energy that will propel you throughout life.

The sun indicates which are the main qualities of your sign, but you can only present some of them, to the detriment of others. Everything will depend on the combination with your ascendant and other more complex aspects of reading your birth chart. See the main characteristics of Sun in each sign.
