  • Planet

  • Sun

    Sun

    Main principle: to radiate, to blast or to push outward, profusion. The effect here is that wherever the Sun is, it tends to create attention or shines a spotlight. The reason for this is fairly obvious: it is the brightest object in the sky and is hard to miss. According to aristotelean principles, the Sun is exceedingly hot and dry: choleric. The heat creates activity and the dryness makes distinctions. This is a very masculine planet and is symbolic of spirit, intent, will and determination.
