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 Capricorn
You are a serious, reliable, conscientious, practical and patient person. You are also responsible, exceptionally stable and in principle, loyal.
You are polite, you respect family and tradition, age and experience. You believe that you know how to take care of yourself best and don't like others to interfere with your working system (it is often incompatible with other people's systems, visions or believes). You are not exactly the most flexible person. Certainly, you are more pessimistic than optimistic. You have a very persistent, firm and ambitious character, strong will and incredible patience. You have a deeply embedded sense of duty, you value knowledge and respect authority.
Persistency and hard work
Status, reputation and honor mean a lot to you, and you are often involved in politics. You have excellent organizational skills. You do things holistically, in multimedia and you are capable of having everything under control. You are very skeptical and distrustful, pessimistic and eternally dissatisfied, which at the same time motivates you to be more efficient and to achieve better results.
You need to develop tenderness, compassion, kindness, understanding and forgiveness. It would be best for you to avoid being greedy, envious, selfish, dominative, and get over the desire to overpower. It would also help if you were less demanding. You have great ideas, and you can usefully focus and channel your energy into more constructive ideas and monumental creations.
You also successfully manage difficult situations because you usually rely only on yourself. You often have a hard life, especially at a young age, but you almost certainly achieve success later on. And you do that with your own effort and thanks to your abilities.
Sun in 4th house
You are strongly attached to family and home. Your origin is important to you, you collect antiques, your home is usually a warm and cozy nest (where you also feel best). You are probably a sensitive family person. You also have great sense of accumulating wealth.
Sun inconjunct Moon
With such aspect, you strive for inner harmony and are constantly learning and fulfilling in harmonizing the female and male side of your personality. On one hand you have a lot of strength, on the other you often feel weak, but try to hide it with, for example, a more rough behavior, etc. You often also choose a partner with whom you perhaps don't get along with very much and with whom you somehow change these roles and with whom you need to learn cooperation and adaptation.
Sun conjunction Mars
Because of such aspect in your personal horoscope, you are usually energetic and combative, dynamic, impetuous and passionate. You are often enthusiastic about sport and also talented or you can achieve (even more visible) results in sport (especially if other positions or aspects of your horoscope emphasis it), you often also work in army or police. Sometimes your impetuousness reflects in intolerance and rebelliousness, you are also prone to injuries. You are usually competitive, but also ambitious enough to fulfill some of your plans. With your strong personality you attract numerous people, because besides leadership abilities you also have dynamic energy, which often also encourages other people, despite the fact that you sometimes are a difficult and too fast character for other people because of your haste, competitiveness and fighting mood and people sometimes hardly keep up with you.
Sun sextile Jupiter
You are audacious and curious by nature, a good-natured, cheerful and hearty person. You love life and all pleasures, also nature, children and animals. 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.
Sun inconjunct Uranus
You are usually free-spirited and also rebellious, you need to constantly learn to adapt and cooperate with others. On one hand, you are cheerful, open and very sociable, on the other hand, you often withdraw into your inner world and perhaps feel that others don't understand you, that you don't fit in anywhere, etc. It is important for you that you find work (or hobby) which will satisfy your need for creative freedom and original expression.
Sun opposition MC
With such aspect, you are decisive, determined and usually very ambitious. Very early in life you try to become independent and you strive for reputation and success. You usually have very clearly defined goals, which you then try to realize at any cost. But often you prevent yourself from realizing them, because you are impatient and sometimes have difficulty accepting the fact that every thing needs its phases and you want to see results of your work quickly. You demand a lot from yourself and others, but you can be inconsiderate in achieving what you want, so you are not always the most popular person (especially if you are in leadership position, which is often the case). For you it is very important that you nurture understanding, mildness and tolerance and try to cooperate with others better, because by doing so, you will progress or use your abilities more easily.
