Sun ruling: Health Vitality Blood Heart Identity/Character Confidence Principles Father Government/Authority
The
sun:
the essential principals and elaborated details of the sun can be known by
considering its role in our solar system. Sun is the center, the light giver
- all the planets revolve around the sun - sun is the hub the central point
of reference, all the planets take their respective places with reference
to this central standard.
Also useful in regard of elaborating ideas from an underlying theme is the
model of society.
Each planet has its equivalent in terms of different components of society.
In this light, the sun equates with the King: the ruler the #1, the ruling
or governing element in any system or group. - he is the prime minister, the
president the head of state, the mayor or head of the city, the head of the
chamber the head of he council, the head master or school principal and the
head of the family. Other elements within the sun's portfolio associated with
this are pomp, power, position in one's career, dignity, self-reliance, prestige,
ego, gravity, sobriety, nobility, social leadership, highly placed person
in any Governmental institution, political power, king or emperor, a middle-aged
man, despotism.
Words like registration, register, - derives from regis - king. They mean
to come into line with the government codes. Examples like this show how the
social structure is embedded in our structure of language and thought.
The sun is also the head - because it leads the body, the brain because it
governs the body, the body as a whole, the state of health of the body and
the ego because that gives us our sense of identity - also our identity -
the collectedness of our disparate parts which gives us a sense of wholeness
- wholeness - the governing principal - synergy - a coming together of disparate
parts - which is essentially the role of king or leader or head of state -
to bring together the otherwise fragmented or splintered or factional parties
within a nation or country - Sun/King is that ordering or collecting principal.
All laws,legal systems, protocols, orthodoxy, pomp and ceremony issue from
the king. These are all the apparatus of the king. these systems and regulations
and guidelines and codes of behavior which maintain the STATUS QUO. - the
all important order which underlies the structure of society and most importantly
keeps the king or head of state in his position of primacy and power. There
fore all these things come within the Sun's portfolio.
In the absence of the above there is ANARCHY which is the nemesis of the king
and his apparatus of law and order and a structured stratified society.

Following are 2 descriptions of a person
characterized by the sun. The first characterizes a strong sun, the second
a weak sun.
First, a strong sun [well dignified] very faithful, keeping his promises with
all punctuality - a desire to rule and sway where he comes: prudent and incomparable
judgment, of great majesty and stateliness, industrious to acquire honor and
a large patrimony - yet able to accept the loss of these also. The person
characterized by the sun speaks with gravity but few words - and those spoken
with great confidence and command of his own affection.
Thoughtful, secret, trustworthy, speaking deliberately, large hearted or magnanimous
- affable & tractable; humane to all. Loving pomp & ceremony and whatever
is honorable - no sordid thoughts can enter his heart.
When poorly dignified [weak] or afflicted,
the person characterized by the sun is arrogant and proud - disdaining all
others, 'cracking of his pedigree', short sighted in eyesight and judgment,
restless, troublesome, domineering, extravagant - wasting his money and resources,
foolish, endowed with no gravity of words or sobriety in action, hanging on
to the charity of others yet thinking all are bound to him because of his
high born status.
