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.
Jupiter is the planet of luck and success. It is also the planet of self-confidence and expansion.
Jupiter has a great influence on our lives. It can make us feel good about ourselves and help us to expand our egos. But it can also make us over-confident and lead us to make errors of judgment.
It is important to be aware of the risk of over-identifying with our social masks. If we do this, we may neglect our inner selves and our deep nature.
As one of the planets historically thought to be on the outer limits of the solar system (until the “modern” planets were discovered), Saturn has always been associated with the moon, itself a peripheral heavenly body because it belongs to Earth and not to the solar system. Therefore, both Saturn and the moon are aspects of a protection principle (the moon encompasses the earth in the same way as Saturn and its rings encompasses the solar system). Like the moon, Saturn rules a security/insecurity dialectic, but where the moon’s concerns the private, intimate aspects of the individual, Saturn influences social and collective security. Saturn can be thought of as the polar opposite of the moon (the archetype of the mother, but also of the child, and therefore related to orality). The god Saturn ate his children in order to reign and thus, represents the archetype of the mother (motherhood), the grandmother, and the sage (wisdom). The domination of Saturn thus indicates a maternal complex or, at least, an issue related either to the biological mother or to the symbolism of motherhood. This influence may result in a problem of identity and difficulties in aging which will make themselves evident in personal crises at every passage of this planet, every seven years—thus at the age of 7, at 14 or 15, and 21, 28, etc. Depending on the psychological context in which you are developing, you may overcome or overcompensate your identity complex and gradually acquire a strongly structured personality, or, conversely, remain in a state of immaturity which would probably be detrimental to your destiny.
The second house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Negin Mirsalehi’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
The area ruled by Taurus is related to the sign of Taurus and the principle of possession. It thus governs personal resources, both in material terms (money, wages, assets, real estate, stocks and bonds, etc.) and in physical terms (the body, health, etc.), as well as in the psychological and sociocultural realm (various individual skills, talents, and gifts). When this area is important in an astral theme, it does not mean that you will be rich; however, it does indicate that you will have a certain wealth in any one of the domains mentioned above. You are likely to be puzzled about the best choice for the use and management of this wealth you possess. In other words, the management of your resources like money and personal possessions is liable to raise complex issues for you, and you will have to make a determined, active effort to resolve them. As a result, you will have to make a conscious, articulate decision about the value you place upon work. In relation to life’s material demands, you must realize that efficiency and productivity are required, regardless of your choice of career or lifestyle. Extravagant spending or impulse purchases might lead you to ask yourself how to optimize your personal budget, the amount of personal energy you invest to provide for your material needs. How can you obtain the highest yield from the energy you devote to your work, the wages you earn, and the value of the assets you can use the money to acquire? Providing for one’s own needs is insufficient. It is also important to esteem and respect oneself as a constructive worker, without identifying wholly with the work and its remunerative aspects. It is likely that at certain times in your life, you will be tempted to see money and wealth as ends in themselves; in this case, you may find the loss of money, even symbolically, painful. Generally, overly possessive, selfish, or overly materialistic behavior might be signs that you are still unable to conceive of the psychological budgetary equation described above, an equation which life demands that you resolve.
