The Sun

“You don't have to know how to shine the sun, you just do it. Like you breathe. Now doesn't it just astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing? And you are doing all of this and you never had any education in how to do it?”

~ Alan Watts ~

The Sun is our life force. It is who we are, what makes us happy. It’s our vitamin in order to survive and stay strong. It’s our core vitality as the Sun is the center of the Solar System. Everything revolves around it.

In Astrology, the most fundamental energy we can feel is the element of the planet, especially the Sun. The 4 elements are Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Even when you meet a person for the first time, through the body language, speech and even the color of clothes, you could roughly guess the element of their Sun.
