Helios drives his chariot across the sky, and the world has no choice but to turn its face toward him. In the birth chart the Sun is your essential fire: the identity that everything else orbits, the vitality you replenish or squander, the sovereign your other planets serve. Its sign describes how your light wants to burn — quickly or steadily, in the open square or in a guarded temple. Wherever the Sun stands, you are being asked to become unmistakably yourself.
