Understanding Your Sun Sign: A Beginner’s Guide

What Is a Sun Sign in Astrology?

In astrology, your Sun Sign represents the position of the sun at the time of your birth. It is the core of your identity — your ego, your willpower, and how you express yourself. It shapes your fundamental personality traits, preferences, and behavior patterns.

Your Sun Sign = The "You" that shines through naturally.
