Sun and Karma in the Houses in the Natal chart (House 1-5)

 In this part I of the article we explore the Sun and karmic lessons you need to learn in each house -from 1 to 5 

   The Sun in your natal chart can protect you or in some cases hinder your development, but it always shows your Soul contract in this life; it shows your talents, abilities, mission, what do you strive for, where is your personal power, from what you need to be proud, what you need to master here. The sun is planet with the strongest soul contract and calling from all planets. In someone`s chart it can represent also what is visible to the world (while the Moon is the invisible, hidden, obscure); what people see in you, how you feel about the world.

   Sun position by house is very important, as it shows which is your current life focus in this cycle, where you will need to be motivated and determined. Sun energy is connected to your Solar Plexus chakra – your willpower and self-esteem. If the sun is afflicted you can have problems with your self-confidence, or to create boundaries, or to show who you are without mask. Sun is also related to energy of your father, and your surroundings. It shows the sphere of your creative energy and inspiration. What you feel the urge to do; the sun sign will reveal how you do things and why, your deep believes, ideas and conviction. 

The natal Sun by house shows which is your life time in one karmic cycle (of 12 lives). For example, if your sun is in the 3 -rd house, this will be your third life time from this cycle. The next life will be determined by the next sign and house -when you use whole house system.

Here I focus only on the Sun in different houses and what does it reveal for you in this life.

       Sun in the 1 house  🌞

This is position of leadership if your sun is on your ascendant. You are here to be needed by other people, to be seen, and receive admiration. In this life you need to work on your personal qualities and to improve them, as well as on your self-esteem – but you will be very self-oriented and outspoken. You will naturally feel need to socialize and show your real face to the world. This is also good position for self-employment and development. But it can be hard for partnership.

            Sun in the 2 house  

You are here to practice self-acceptance and going with the flow; also to let go of some material obsessions, fear about money, home, objects or prejudices about them. In this life you will be successful in providing support and comfort with money to your family; this position can show good fortune and abundance (if the sun is well aspected to Jupiter or Mercury). Sometimes you will feel like stuck” in the mud and not able to move forward. (because this is house of Taurus -slow and fixed sign). Money, food, clothes, luxuries and comfort will be very important. You need more grounding in this position. You need to work on your Taurus qualities – being motivated, persistent, to move slowly, to be stubborn and grounded. (You need to work also to improve your positive sun sign qualities – like if you have Sun in Libra in 2 house – then you need to implement the qualities of Libra, in the sphere of Taurus in 2).

              Sun in 3 house

you are here to work on skills of communication, open mind and exchange of ideas. For you study of any kind will be essential, also learning new skills constantly. It may indicate short business travels, or work related to travel and exchange. You are person who can have karma with your siblings, or younger brother; also with your close friends. You need to pay attention to relationships with them. You need to work on your Gemini qualities (regardless of your sign in natal chart) – to be smart, observant, flexible; be aware of how changes in your life affect you and work on your Air element.

    Sun in the 4 house

In this life you are called to support and take care of your family (parents and home), or any property from your ancestors. If you have here Cancer or Capricorn this energy is amplified. You will have karmic relationship with your parents (both mother and father). Everyone has such relationship, but you will need to work on karmic knot or pattern in this parent-child relationship. Also, you need to work on personal qualities of Cancer (regardless of what sign you have in 4 house) – sensitivity, compassion, nurturing, caring, but also to create boundaries with others. You will have special inclination to children or working with children (school, kindergarden). You could also have mission related to home design, architecture, home décor.

Your roots will be strong, you can have past life karma related to the country of birth. Also, for you its not advisable to move and live abroad, as your mission will be in your home country. You need to release a lot of ancestral karmic knots and let go of self-doubts and negativity.

            Sun in the 5 house

    This sun is one of the lucky positions for the sun – as 5 house is the natural home of the Sun and house of Leo. That means, whatever you need to overcome, you will be strong and successful. (of course you need to see also the aspects and positions of the sun in the chart). Sun here is visible, magnetic, charming, and even proud to show of his achievements. You need to be in the spotlight (if you realize it or not), you will pull others to you, will be like magnet for friends and you will be loved and inspiration for many people. Regardless of your sign, you will need attention here. (You need to check also where is Leo in your chart). In this life you are here to create, to be open to the world, you can be artist, actor, or person of any kind of art and music. You gain fame easily; also in this position can indicate person who works with social media, and is well known, self-employment is possible. On another side, you can have karmic knot with your children, you can also have many love affairs, or fall in love easily.
