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.

Berner stared up at the moon. It was a beautiful sight, the silver-white orb reflecting the light of the sun. It was a primordial symbol of the mother, the figure that represented the care and nurturing Berner had experienced in his past. Psychologically, the moon represented all the emotions and bonds associated with being a mother figure for Berner. Depending on his nature, the mother figure could correspond to Berner’s biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who had cared for him in infancy and childhood. When Berner reached adulthood, this figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with it 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 that could take on the mother’s role of taking care of and nurturing Berner. For Berner, this meant that his psychic activity would be near-constant. His imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment would be high, as he was still attached to his past.
