As the center of the solar system and the gravitational center 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.

This planet is the quintessential symbol of individual receptivity and the fundamental reactions of the unconscious, including the collective unconscious. Opposed to Saturn, which is the principle of form, structure, and limitation, Neptune is a principle of dissolution. It concerns any effort to encompass the greatest variety of factors, any tendency to surround and blend all the narrow, individual points of view into a single, universal sea. Psychologically, the Neptunian effect is expressed as an exceptional psychic flexibility and extreme pliancy. This makes you very receptive to the world, and you often feel a need for unity. You also have a deep awareness of the importance of dreams, and may be prone to delusions. At certain times, you can be overwhelmed by a feeling of subtle confusion related to a need for “something else.” When your well-being is disturbed in this way, you either yield to a sort of passive, apathetic dissatisfaction, or lose yourself in the search for an imaginary world. You are sometimes captivated by a need for illusion, but often these fantastic dreams only make you more painfully aware of the realities of everyday life. Your spirit and emotions emerge confused, and your will is sometimes weakened.

Traditional astrology has always seen Jupiter as the planet of luck and success. It is the biggest planet in the solar system, and it governs the process of personal expansion. It also has a much vaster significance in psychological terms.

As the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter does preside over the process of personal growth. This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoyed up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego. But this growth can also be a form of escape. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws.

As a result, you must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask. This would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.

The eleventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme, since it contains several planets, including the one which rules your rising sign.

This sector of the astral chart is related to the world of friendship. It thus reigns over friends, group projects and aspirations, publicity, politics in a humanitarian cause, customers, hope, help, and assistance. More specifically, this sector symbolizes the power and gratification society grants to an individual in exchange for career activities. For each person, this power is a function of their capacity to work and produce something valuable to the community to which they belong (the country, corporation, etc.). This power may either be used for selfish ends or be re-invested for the elaboration of more cooperative social projects.

From a psychological viewpoint, people with a prominent eleventh house in their birth chart may have to concentrate on being fair and objective in relation to social successes and/or failures. Success could entail efficient use of the power and prestige they have already obtained for more significant projects which are in better harmony with their inner truth. Failure, on the other hand, requires a detailed analysis of its causes. Any mistakes that may have been made are an opportunity for insight. The work of understanding and assuming one’s failures is a positive, constructive way out of a situation of failure.

Billy McFarland, you should focus on the ninth house in your theme.
