Suns in glass housesSo you think you know your sun sign… and that’s true, you do. There was no trick to that.
But now that you know what your sun is, do you know where it is?
The placement of one’s sun in the natal chart exerts a lot of influence over the sign itself. Houses are influencers, if you will.
For example, if you’ve got my chart, you might have thought you were just a Gemini sun but you’re really a very leonine type of Gemini sun, because my sun is in my 5th house, and the 5th house is Leo’s house.
So I’m an egotistical chatterbox. An expressive inquisitor. A curious ham. Twin lions.
Every house is associated with a sign, and whatever house your sun is in, you're kind of that sign, too. That’s the lesson.
If you don’t quite recognize yourself within the constellation of your sun sign’s traits, it might be because astrology isn’t real—but it also might be because you haven’t tried hard enough to make it real by looking at your sun placement. There’s always a trick to make it real. That’s what I’m here for.
Until you actually do your chart (or ask me to give you a reading), you won’t know where your sun is placed. If you want to do it yourself, enter your exact time and location of birth on astro.com or use that absurdly elitist app, Co-Star. As a pedestrian Android user, I can’t use it.
That reminds me of this meditation on Scorpios that really happened in my mind.
A Scorpio once complained to me that Co-Star was silly for being Apple-only, and I was like,
Wow, a Scorpio is talking to me right now.
Because most of you are quiet.
And scary.
I know the Scorpios reading this are like,
Why are you coming for me?
And all I can say is,
I think so many worse things in my head.
Every time I get close to a Scorpio, they sense that my mind is free and can’t be controlled—
just hugely influenced—
and it's a whole thing.
But even though I don't want to give you my brain and loyalty forever,
I still really, really want you to like me.
You're magical, transformative people, every one of you, and every time I survive one of you I get stronger.
But I can’t do that more than once a year.
For someone who complains so much about Scorpios, I devote a lot of time and attention to thinking and talking about them. Please remember to be flattered by that, Scorpios. One time I wrote a funny list for the signs and completely forgot Sagittarius. I would never do that to you! But I also know Sagittariuses are chill enough to forgive me for that.
Right?
I'm losing friends here, so let me wrap up. I think my point was to plug an app I've never used so you can know where your sun is located and enjoy my analysis more.
