19 July 1976, 12:00, Hammersmith, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Benedict as “you”.

The position of the Sun in the sign is the most significant point in the personal horoscope of each individual. After all, it is the most prominent and most noticeable object in the sky.

The position of the Sun is what we usually call "our horoscope sign". For example, if someone's horoscope sign is Aries, this means that at the moment of birth, the Sun was situated in the Aries sign. The Sun makes its way through all 12 signs of the horoscope in one year. It stays in each sign for an average of 1 month.

The Sun in your horoscope represents your personality, your inner self, your self-awareness. Through the Sun's position, we can see how you, as an individual with your desires and needs, adapt and react to the influences of your surroundings and also how you express your inner potentials.

Sun in Cancer

You are a very emotional and sensitive person. You are good and soft-hearted, highly compassionate and understanding, and always willing to help those in need. You are a romantic person, and you love your home and family. You often also have deep patriotic feelings. You are poetic and artistic by nature, you are especially drawn to poetry, even if you work in other professions, like tourism or catering (as a chef/cook, waiter, caterer, sommelier...).

You have an excellent memory and strong intuition. You dream a lot and your actions are usually very susceptible to the influence of the Moon. You have an unusual sense of humor. Because you are a person vulnerable and susceptible to external influences (you absorb impressions like a sponge), you need a lot of time for yourself. Try to take care of yourself adequately – with healthy reflection, meditation, positive affirmations and all other self-improvement techniques.

Sensitive, gentle, need time for self

You change your mood very quickly; you have an unpredictable temper and can sometimes be sullen and grumpy. You don't trust others and as soon as you feel threatened, you withdraw into your shell. However, you have an abundance of inner energy that you can use with great success, especially for caring and nurturing others (that is why you are often successful in medicine). That said, you must avoid giving yourself away too much since your character attracts 'energy vampires'.

You should often go to secluded places where you can relax completely - preferably in the vicinity of water. Visiting these sites, plus the ability to create in peace and solitude will recharge your batteries. All your senses are acute, and you often have problems with your liver, kidney, stomach and metabolism.

Sun in 10th house

You are a firm, serious, persistent and ambitious person with numerous plans and clearly set goals, for which you are often prepared to make some sacrifices. You understand and respect hierarchy ladder and rise slowly, but surely – thanks to your own abilities, knowledge and good strategy.

Sun as culminating planet

Because the Sun is your culminating planet, you radiate a lot of positive energy and are usually good-natured and kind, even if other factors in your horoscope don't otherwise emphasize this. You have pleasant character and behavior, so people like you very much. You have a positive attitude towards work and usually achieve success in business. You are attracted to politics and are interested in manifold areas, including sport, and you can also achieve good results in numerous of these areas.

Sun square Moon

The Sun square the Moon often forces you to a certain inner fight between reason and emotions and that is why you are not always most successful in harmonizing the two areas. You often put you reason above your emotions (but this also depends on other positions and aspects), which usually leads to dissatisfaction. On the other hands, this inner dissatisfaction often motivates you, drives you forward and also encourages you to solve conflicts and pushes you to personal growth. You have difficulty completely relaxing, you often seem tense and nervous (that is why you often experience emotional problems or stress, which can lead to disease, especially if other positions and aspects also emphasize it).

Sun conjunction Mercury

Conjunction is actually the only aspect which the Sun and Mercury can form, because the maximum distance between them is less than 30 degrees (and so less than one astrological sign). You are usually a dynamic, moveable and persuasive person and usually have good ability of speech and communication. You quickly make conclusions and connections (unless Mercury is in another bad aspect or goes retrograde) and you often also have a good nose for business, you also master the art of bluffing. You have a sharp and quick mind, sense of detail and you are cunning, although you are also often talented in languages, writing, music and art. You are very sociable, also easy going and adaptable, that is why you have many acquaintances and friends and people, as a rule, like you and often invite you places. You have an audacious, curious and youthful nature and often also looks.

Sun sextile Jupiter

You are positive, enthusiastic and convincing, you are a good influence on others and you motivate them with your impetus. Numerous opportunities come your way in your life and you can take advantage of many of them successfully, as well as of manifold acquaintances. This aspect is also favorable for your health.
