A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Martin 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 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 9th house
You most certainly travel a lot in your life or you at least have a lot of contacts with foreign countries or are even attached to a foreign country in some sense. You are probably interested in science, have a very inquisitive nature, are eager to learn and are also interested in religion, faraway countries and their cultures. You are attracted to journalism, reporting and other similar professions.
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 inconjunct Mars
You have a lot of inner strength and energy, but you don't often know how to use and take advantage of it well (if, of course, other positions and aspects don't have a different influence). You often hold everything inside and then it boils to the surface at the wrong moment or in the wrong way. For balancing and controlling excessive energy, it is advisable for you to do sports, especially group sports, because you also learn cooperation and adaptation in them.
Sun square Jupiter
You are usually impulsive, impetuous and passionate. You like indulging in all life's pleasures, including good food, that is why you are often prone to obesity. In general, you have strong and big needs, desires and appetites, you like dramatizing and exaggerating that is why you often live beyond your capabilities. You often have high-flying plans and goals which are too numerous to all be fulfilled. You often tend to be snobbish. You are usually an ambitious and enterprising, also competitive person.
Sun conjunction MC
The Sun which appears ˝highest˝ in the sky and which is also in conjunction with the axis of the 10th house (MC), actually has a similar influence as when it appears in Ascendant, but it influences you once your personality is already shaped and not so much the characteristics given to you at birth (which is the case with the Ascendant). Its influence is perhaps also not so visible in a physical sense (as in conjunctions with the Ascendant), so it perhaps doesn't influence your looks so much, but more what you radiate and your entire personality, which you build in life, which is tightly connected to the profession you do or the area in which you create. However, the Sun in this position often also influences your looks. You are well-natured and hearty, both in your feats and in leader position, which is not rare, because you often have leadership abilities and are also ambitious and people like and appreciate you because of your positive orientation and energy. You are successful in many professions and you act in manifold areas, most often in such which are in some way or another connected to the public.
