As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve. A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Your personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. You take your own superiority and authority over others for granted, and you have a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. You are a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. You have definite artistic leanings. The sense of your ideals is evident to you and may lead you to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, your deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

As the second light of the solar system, the moon has always been associated with the sun in the minds of men. The moon and sun are the primordial cosmic couple. This satellite of the earth, which mysteriously waxes and wanes, has been compared to the eternal masculine principle, the father. Psychologically, the moon is thus symbolic of the father and the father image. This figure is a primordial element in the psyche of each individual. Depending on your nature, the father figure may correspond to your biological father, a grandfather, or a man who cared for you in infancy and childhood. When you reach adulthood, this father-figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with you may be transferred to something else: a spouse, a companion, an institution, a church, corporation, or political movement, a cult, etc. In short, any individual or structure likely to take on the father’s duty of providing for and protecting the vulnerable aspects of an individual. To be more down-to-earth, the father figure corresponds to the habits which were learned and then definitively incorporated into the individual’s identity as you gradually became acculturated and progressed toward social independence. As a result, a strongly “lunar” personality often finds it difficult to adapt and is uncomfortable outside the secure setting of familiar routines. Closely tied to your past, you may be unwilling to detach yourself from it and embark on your life as an individual in the here and now. You still identify somewhat with your inner child and may display a child’s impetuous behavior, making rash decisions and displaying little patience. Your aggressiveness may make you domineering, your impulsiveness may make you reckless, and your impatience may make you reckless. In your daily life, practicality will rule. Your intelligence, memory, reasoning, and analysis nearly overwhelm your psyche.

Brian Scalabrine is a star player in the NBA. He is known for his aggressive play, which has led to numerous confrontations with opponents. His morphology is typical of virile, angular, and athletic stars, and his symbolism corresponds to aggressive, domineering, masculine behavior. His purpose in life seems to be inextricably mingled with a combat against an unacceptable situation, a challenge which he either issues or is forced to accept.

The tenth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

Brian Scalabrine’s North Node, the gateway into the tenth house, corresponded to the vertical line connecting the zenith to the nadir. The North Node could be opposed to its partner, the South Node, the lowest point on the map of the sky. As the highest point, it symbolized Brian’s elevation, his social position. He was sure to derive some power from his social eminence, such as money, prestige, or privilege, but he also had duties to fulfill. When this area was the site of significant activity, it did not mean that he would automatically have a high social eminence. It meant that he would invest a great deal of energy in acquiring a form of social power. Because the energy was somewhat vague, he would have to become aware of the various desires, needs, and ideals which were motivating and inspiring him. As a result, he would probably become conscious of how closely his social destiny was linked to his family’s reputation. Indeed, all he could give society was what he had managed to make of himself from the raw material he received from his background. When the tenth house was especially significant, it meant that the use of power deriving from social rank was problematic for him. His attitude toward both accomplishment and failure may be somewhat obtuse. As a result, he should always be asking himself why he aspired to a certain career or profession, what his learning was worth, what meaning he wanted to give his relationship with society, what he was ready to give of himself, and what he wanted from society in exchange.

Brian Scalabrine knows that the first house is an area of the sky which is especially important in his theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules his rising sign.
