Astrological Meanings Behind Why the Sun Becomes Weak
The Sun is the king, the ruler, the executive. He has a kingdom to run! He’s not interested in petty squabbles or local gossip. The other planets have a different agenda. Saturn and Venus are enemies of the Sun because they have different natures.
Venus, for instance, is concerned with enjoying life’s pleasures and dealing with relationships in a healthy way.
Venus directly interferes with the agenda of the Sun – governance!
Sun in Libra or Venus Afflicting Sun
The Sun in the domain of Venus means that you will have a bad habit of trading your purpose for momentary pleasure and hedonism.
The same is true for the Sun in Taurus, a Venus-ruled zodiac sign. You will be tempted to give up your life’s true purpose in favor of material security, stable finances, and feeling “comfortable” in whatever condition you happen to be in.
Sun in Capricorn/Aquarius or Saturn Afflicting Sun
Fear, anxiety, material survival, and the conditioning of parents or society will restrict your ability to live out your true purpose.
Capricorns desperately want to achieve status and career recognition to help offset their ingrained feelings of low self-worth. They must first learn to accept themselves. After that, success will come more easily.
Aquarius must understand that the light they see in others does, simultaneously, exist within themselves.
The Sun’s Natural Strength Explained
The Sun feels a natural affinity in the fire signs. The king rises to a high position. Fire also rises. This is part of why the Sun exalts in Aries, the first sign ruled by Mars, the warrior. He feels comfortable and at home in Leo. He expresses his power easily through Sagittarius.
Fire signs are in the habit of feeling inspiration strike and acting upon it with complete disregard for the opinions of those around them. If they love something, they jump right in and do it.
When the Sun is debilitated, we forget how to tap into our creativity, strength, intelligence, and confidence. We want other people to take the lead and make a decision.
Embrace the fire element: positivity, initiative, and energy. Start trusting yourself and start taking small leadership roles here and there. You’ll slowly get into the habit of strengthening your identity and overcoming the issues of a debilitated Sun.
