🌞 What the Sun Represents
The Sun describes your fundamental personality — the self you grow into over time. If the Moon shows who you are on the inside, the Sun shows who you become when you step into your full power.
This is your style of shining. How you want to be seen.
Your Sun sign is your mythic role in this lifetime.
